I'm glad you got it figured out.
If you're still having issues with the firm TC lockup, look at the torque table in the RPM range in which it's giving you fits. I didn't mess with that map at anything above 2000 RPM if I recall...and it's pretty close to stock there along with the Lockup DC%.

Edit: I answered my own question regarding Pedal position and it didn't work just gave me DTC for low throttle position etc

Ok spent some more time looking at the various Timing maps for The different tunes... The stock tim ing map seems to be a lot more complicated than the ones Bill is using in his tunes... I am guessing there was some software engineer at Ford that had nothing better to do.... My guess is they were running the engine on an Dyno and tuning the Timing and other factors to get the lowest emissions vs power output???
Anyway the one thing that stood out is that a lot of the stock timing curves seem to drop around peak torque and then rise again then taper off at high RPM after peak HP... Is there a reason for the drop around the 1600 RPM range as I am wondering if I need to preserve that in doing the altitude timing? Also should the Advance come on later the same or earlier with the higher altitude? Am I asking too many Questions???

Well I got a chance to play a bit an made changes to the Altitude maps for each tune's injection timing... seemed to work good so did some more tweaking with the maps and just loaded another set to run and see how they work...
the I got the Fuel Sipper Tune working real well with the modified shift points and using the stock TC lockup map etc... nice and smooth... Didn't get to agressive with the timinng for now.... Kinda want to wait on Bill's thoughts as I am sure you have done a fair amount of High Altitude tuning.... Need to test where I get excessive smoke before changing the Low boost fuel... took it down slightly on the 100hp just to see what happens

DJ,
It's great that you're getting to look at what is going on here and making changes that work for what YOU want the truck to do. That's the whole point of custom tuning. Nobody would care about custom tuning if Ford made the trucks the way they SHOULD have been built but weren't. Although, the engineers had emissions standards they had to meet to make the ECO-NAZIS happy while making a truck that wouldn't tear itself in half in less than 36K miles. Good job, DJ, I'm glad that you're getting closer to your goals!

Where have you ended up, DJ? Any updates on your progress? Are you happy with what you have developed on your Fuel Sipper tune?
Inquiring minds want to know. Have you figured out the dead throttle when cold yet or can I give you a hint?
