So you’re telling me you didn’t change your valve stem caps?? Shame!

who's tune are you running or what changes have you made to the tuning ?

who's tune are you running or what changes have you made to the tuning ?

I used HP Tuners VCM Suite Beta with the MPVI4 Interface. Referencing the ECM, I presently changed the following: Disabled the DFM/Auto stop-start; Throttle response (mapping) increased (pedal sensitivity); Torque management reduction (i.e., ETC torque intervention decreased, shift torque decreased); Fan temp settings changed (low and high temp fan settings); and REV limiter increased slightly.

The following changes to the TCM: Increased shift line pressure; Reduced shift timing; Reduced the slip of when the torque converter engages; The shift scheduling throttle upshift MPH increased +2mph and the downshift decreased -1mph; Shift torque management during shifts reduced; and the tow/haul mode changed to hold gears longer (i.e., increased converter lockup earlier and line pressure increased).

I did everything in stages, not every flash at once. I flashed the DFM and Auto Stop/Start first to disable those and drove my truck for about 100 miles before moving on to the second scheduled flashing, which was the throttle mapping (pedal sensitivity) and fan settings and then I would drive approximately 100 miles after changing these settings. I continued this format until I completed everything.

As a note, be sure to first save the stock ECM/TCM files before doing any tuning...I can't reiterate how important this is to do in case the tuning flashes fail resulting in problems such as limp mode, converter issues, incorrect shifting, etc.
