Getting ready to get a tune.

[sumo]

I do but you’d be surprised on how many people out there are easily offended. Such a sensative world now a days

Ok tune done. I did not drive it yet. It has been a long day. I will try it out on the way to work in 6 hrs

Well?!?!?!

Also, what does leaving/removing torque management do? Any harm come from it either way?

Sorry I've been busy at work every since I walked in the door. I can definitely tell the AFM is deactivated. Unfortunately my ride to work this morning didn't offer a chance to notice anything else. All in town driving and only 3 miles. I did step on it a little at a stop sign, but honestly didn't notice much difference. probably because I don't normally step on it at a stop sign. in town I have been trying to drive with a light foot and coasting a lot. Funny though because of this and the AFM disabled along with it staying in a gear until more RPM's are reached I didn't get as high MPG coasting. I think I did better though up hill. The shifting did seem better for the most part, and while I didn't have much of a hill, it didn't seem to bog down as much as before. This was probably due to the shifting being improved. Before it would be in too high of a gear and bog down before shifting into a lower gear. I will know more when I drive to Kenpo tonight as I will be on the highway for 30 mins. I will have a better chance to see what it does. I think it is better right now, and they might end up tweaking my tune, but honestly if it wasn't for the higher RPM coasting and not hearing the AFM kick in I don't think I would have known anything was different. BUT I was kind of expecting this on my drive into work hard to see a difference when mostly coasting I will post more later. Thanks for prompting me for an update.

It's been 3 miles...hardly a test especially if you were trying to coast. Should have taken the long way and got on the hrottle a bit to see how much more fun it is to drive. Looking forward to your thoughts after some driving.

Yeah I know. that's why I said I didn't expect to see much this morning. I want to test it out, just so busy. Besides working 16 hours a day I am trying to get ready for camping this weekend, and finishing the brackets for my light bar. It doesn't leave much time for anything else. I will drive it more and give it a better test tonight.

Ok home from work. I definitely noticed a difference driving on the highway. I have also noticed more of a difference driving in town. For me the biggest difference is the always ready no lag when you press on the gas it responds instantly. Shifting is definitely smoother and stepping on it a little on the highway now doesn’t automatically drop you down in to low of a gear it puts you right where you need for the acceleration, and does it very smoothly. Seems to pull a lot harder over 70mph too. I think some more testing is needed, but so far it drives like it lost 2000lbs of weight.

That's more of what I expected to hear. Good to know that you notice how much better overall it drives. When you combine all the changes here and there it adds up to what I feel is a huge improvement.

I think a good way to see the differences would be to reset it to stock and drive it some after I get used to thins tune. It seems that you can easily adjust to faster and better. Sometimes without noticing much difference, but try going back to slower and it stands out like a sore thumb

You can do that at this point on yours. I definitely don't have that option anymore.

Well did you get the sport mode feature when you press the tow haul button?

Fixed

Scot, the computers in the engine and transmission have to relearn too these new settings and adjust them to your driving style. It will get better in the days ahead. Now tell us what happens when you come out of a u-turn and have to get on it because there are cars coming up quick on you...

Have you noticed any gas mileage changes? Better or worse?

The first time I got a tune, my MPG went way down immediately due to my increased foot pressure on the haul ass pedal.

 

[sumo]

I can’t recall anyone after getting a tune and saying their mpg gone up. Everyone was so busy mashing the throttle.

Everything i have read is that it’ll go down the minute you load it, seriously the avg mpg on the dic says ohhhh shit....but afterwards, like a year or two after, when you’re finally done playing with the little pedal on the right it actually levels out and gets better....

Not sure how accurate the instant mpg reading is. Under normal driving in town though with some coasting on hills, the instant mpg doesn’t go as high as before. Without coasting and driving on the highway without my foot in it, it looks to be the same. Time will tell, but as others have said my average has dropped due to stepping on the gas more than normal.

Why would anyone get done playing with the pedal? I just kept making it work better and better until now my mpg is in the single digits.

And that’s why they call you Rocket, Rocket Man, lol
