Okay I've used that feature before here is some of the values I remember. Level was at 0 stock.
These are upshfts.

1-2. #0
2-3. #5-7 briefly.
3-4. #0
4. #14 only with cruise on.

Any idea what those numbers mean, Lars? I've never monitored that particular readout.

SinCity - is it true we're talking about part throttle shifts here, or are you at WOT and hard acceleration? The reason I ask, is because my transmission spends so little time in 1st and 2nd gears under normal acceleration, that it's almost like they don't exist. I've NEVER seen the TC lockup in 1st or 2nd. I've seen it lock at times in 3rd, on the highway in a hill climb situation shortly before shifting back to 4th and that one tends to be a "harsh" shift.

Perhaps you'd benefit from my Custom Options settings:

1-2, 2-1 upshift/downshift: -2
2-3, 3-2 upshift/downshift: -3
3-4, 4-3 upshift/downshift: -5
1-2, 2-1 TC lock/unlock: -3
2-3, 3-2 TC lock/unlock: -5
3-4, 4-3 TC lock/unlock: -10

I may not have the TC values correct here for 1-2, 2-1 and 2-3, 3-2, but I set them at the MAX negative limits.

My reasoning was that I wanted to shift as rapidly as possible into 4th and have the TC lock up as soon as possible to save gas. I don't HAVE to beat everyone to the next light, I just want to flow with them. And, I wanted to delay the downshift/TC unlock for the same reason, in normal driving.

It all seems to work out fine for me. I get very quickly into 4th (at about 40 mph) and the over eagerness to downshift or get TC unlock at part throttle I've talked about in previous posts during mild hill climbs is largely gone. I even have these settings in place when I pull our trailer, and it somehow, feels better.

None of this effects WOT shifting though. The power's still there when I need it.

I have posted a thread before on these numbers. But I thought Bill might answer it. So I still remain with ?'s of what the values mean.

I am staring to think that it is from the AFE brand CAI bc the only people on this site that are having the same problems as we are have an AFE CAI.

It has always hesitated if I put any kind of throttle when I first start it up with the VMP/PHP tunes. It has only backfired with PHP's. Just needs some tweakin .....email tuning is an impossibly hard thing to do.

Sure will...I will try and give em a call and see what we can dig up. Keep ya posted.

P.S.

Well, I just called the shop and the VM says they are out of the office for medical emegency.

BIll/Corey I hope you and the family are all ok

[Jackpine]

Oh crap, I hope so too.

I was beginning to get worried when I didn't see any posts from Corey these past few days, but then Bill showed up today.

Hope Corey's all right. She has a pretty tough road to travel on.
