Wehewwww!!! I see J&J posts all the time dishing out helpful advise.
But I do have one question pertaining to custom options/standard shifting. The manual states "Positive values will cause later shifts while negative values will cause shifts to occur sooner". My thoughts ( and correct me if I'm wrong) are that if you set the upshifts to a neg., the truck, under normal accelleration, will shift at a lower mph/rpm. This should make the truck get a little better fuel economy, provided you dont have a heavy right foot. But on the down shifts, wouldnt you need to make the value on the positive side? Because, according to the manual "pos value = later shift". Say I'm in od w/ conv locked up @ say 60 mph. I sart up a slight grade. I want the truck to delay my downshift...so wouldnt I want pos values?
I've found out that learning to use the programmer is sorta trial-and -error. Its becoming easier the more I play with it.
