It changes shifting points and such.
I would hav some one program it for your truck and what u want out of ur truck. I used Cale at tyrant deisel and I like mine. I had one issue with it it would shut down going from daily to stock called him and he sent a hole new chip with the fix for it quik.
okay i post on the forums u guys r replying to it thanks but i cant get my own post on the site only on my email can someone help me on this matter thanks mike...
If that made more sense I could help you :dunno:
You made a new thread. We replied. Then you replied to us. Then I lost you.
i'm lost sorry
what I am saying is I am not replying to the site just going thru my email to reply, I dont even see my topic on the site where I posted it????
ok I can get this thread now had to change some things on my edit..
I know what custom tunes r dont want them till I do my mods, so is there anything I can do to this chip to make it work right ???
What makes you think it's not working right?

I made my Samsung SGH-I997 send this.
well first guess is it shifts to 3rd 2 seconds after it shifts to 2nd thats my first guess ? why would u want it to do that ??
I'm kinda having the same issue and havent found a solution to the problem yet. Mines acting up just in a litte differant way

Thanks for input I will contact ts myself see what can be done..
Besides the shifting being differant is there anything else you've noticed acting up. Such as boost or fuel pressure if you have a gauge? Mines a super duty so it might be differant, but I also have boost issues along with the weird shifting. I've changed my icp, ipr, map, and throttle positioning sensor. Along with changing my fuel and oil filter with fluid and resealed my plenums with all new boots.

Just a different shift pattern. They think that's optimal for that tune.

I bet it's the TC locking and not actually shifting into 3rd. It sounds normal. If under heavier throttle usage it should shift a bit differently.

Agreed.

Agreed.
yes thats what it is doing, dont do it stock so why is it now cause it added 50 hp ? should I get a good valve body for the trans, I had 2 other powerstrokes with tuners & they didnt do this so far ts says they cant do anything about it..
I personally wouldn't have went with ts... thats the first problem.

But yes even stock thats close to how our trucks react... although stock, they dont lock the TC nearly enough in my opinion. Locking the TC is a good thing... gets the power to the ground, eliminates lots of tranny heat, and gives you better mpg.

Your chip is telling the tranny to shift that way because it senses you just putting around not using the power... so the chip is trying to conserve fuel by getting into locked TC asap.

yes a VB is ALWAYS a good thing. It will help you out further. Although you might need a retune because it might start shifting super ragged.
I get what your saying is the ts programable? Should I send it back or wont they take it back...
I can send the chip back for refund should I go with tw chip ? if so where or whats the best place to do this I cant find his own web ? thanks..
