Phoenix Switch-On-The-Fly Chip (DISCOUNTINUED) (Disabled)
Power Hungry no longer sells the Phoenix/TS chip, but if you need custom tuning we can recommend a few really good tuners that will be able to still provide tuning and support for your chip.

If you have any other questions or comments about the Phoenix/TS chip, please post it here.

OK, I get it now.

You're not going to hurt a thing. It may be a bit awkward feeling, but it is ONLY the torque converter clutch applying at a fater rate than stock.

The longer it takes the shift (or torque converter clutch to apply), the more "burn time" there is, and the more damage it does. The factory designed these SD trucks to shift "transparently" so that you can't feel the shifts. Unfortunately, it also takes a toll on the friction elements inside the transmission by causing a lot of heat during the shift.

By shortening the time it takes the shift to occur, the heat produced by the friction elements is kept to a minimum. The only drawback is the firmness of the shift. It is fixable.....but at the expense of drawn-out shifts; which for a higher-hp shifts can burn up frictions in very little time.
