Installed chip! have questions

[cleatus12r]

Looking over the tuning files that were put on the chip, that is REALLY weird. All of the ones EXCEPT the "daily driver" should be quite a bit more firm from 2nd gear on up due to the way the torque converter clutch apply is set up.

I assume you mean ALL shifts are hard, in which case there may have been a burn problem (something like that can be a one byte error out of a 229,376 byte program) and errors are not that common, but we all know how quirky computers can be. If it's only one particular shift that is annoying, then I'd like to know which one.

I'll get an RMA number from Corey and have you send it back. The chip will be reprogrammed and sent back to you.

for the daily setting it seems it shifts way too soon, dropping into the next gear at around 1000 rpm, also what i found weird was it will not down shift at all going up hill at around 30 it will stick at the 1000 rpm and struggle like crazy i would have to let off the peddle and wait till the truck slows down to get that lower gear
yes all shifts are hard
thanks for the great service much appreciated

Also the transmission is getting up to 200 degrees while running the tunes, and the truck is indecisive when switching between 3unlocked, 3 locked and 4, seems slipping a little and when i turn back to stock it is fine, hopefully this can be resolved.

contacted the PO and found a few things, i saw tape residue on the pcm so asked about that and he said there had been a banks chip in it, the trans was replaced at a dealer in colorado replaced around 99 or 2000. does this change anything

My guess is that it has a Transcommand on it.....Banks likes to sell three different things to accomplish the same thing that most aftermarket programming companies do with one piece of hardware.

That will most certainly cause a harsh shift.

i will look for it, is there a usually mounting spot for it?

[Aggiefishing]

looked for it at the connector but only stock wires there and no sign of the module,
is it possible it is a code problem as you said before, i dont want to spend money to ship it if i'm just going to have the same problems

[Aggiefishing]

ok the truck has seemed to "learn" and the trans is shifting better is this possible?
It is still noticeable.

Perhaps you've become accustomed to the shifting.
