Trans temp is not an issue, with the giant 5 gallon pan, or whatever it is, and a 6.0 cooler, I've had it up to operating temp once that I can think of.

Big Bore,

I'll post up a screenshot of what the functions look like for shift speed and TC lock/unlock when I get home tonight (probably about 9 PM MST) so you can see what we're working with.

Bill's software will probably have an A/D scale where the TP voltage scale is on Sniper's definition file. I will know for sure here one of these days.....(patiently waiting on RDTs :cry

Big Bore,

Here is a comparison of a stock PMT1 program and my Heavy Towing program that I use while hauling a few tons of hay. The windows in the first column are 1-2 shift speed, 2-3 shift speed, and 3-4 shift speed. The second column is 2nd gear TC lockup, 2nd gear TC unlock, and 3rd gear TC lockup.

The first column in each window is factory TP voltage, the second is tow program TP voltage. The third column is factory speed while the fourth column is tow program speed.

Tell me what my 2nd gear lockup does..... I like it that way!

You'll probably have to save it and blow it up since it's so small.

Locks at 25mph, unlocks at 21mph?

That's part of it.

The way I have it set up, the TC will lock at 25-27 MPH under ANY load. It will also unlock earlier than it would unlock with factory programming. I did this because I drive on dirt roads a lot that are littered with hills. So putting the transmission in manual 2nd will allow me a TC-locked good ol' time without any heating issues. As long as I maintain 22-23 MPH, I have a locked TC. If I encounter any hills that cause me to slow down, then the TC will unlock and not cause me to bog down.

Of course, if I accelerate slowly, it also causes me to have a locked TC at all times above 22 or so MPH. My transmission temps are never an issue....even with the stock cooler setup.

Cody,

My fault on that. For some reason I thought I'd sent you some RDTs and Corey's over here telling me that I didn't.

Will have them in e-mail shortly.

Big Bore,
