So it's been a few weeks, and the truck is still running great.
The only thing I may complain about is it possible @
DRD to refine the trans tuning to where it holds gears longer, similar to operating in Tow/Haul mode?
I can tell the trans has settled down after the relearn because I notice when driving around town (40-55 mph roads) that if I'm not applying enough throttle and just cruising, the truck will go into 6th at 50mph, which leaves me under 1200rpm and feels like its lugging.
Yes, I could use Tow/Haul mode, but my problem is that the downshifts get harsher than I'd like as I don't have a load on the hitch.
I am just curious how much refinement can be done with the trans tuning even if I lock 6th out driving around town, it's annoying to do, and I find that it wants to go in 5th at 40mph, which is also a similar annoyance.
If possible, I'd like to hold the 4-5 shift until 50mph and the 5-6 shift until around 60mph (on Tow/Haul, it's probably somewhere around 65mph for 6th and 55mph for 5th).
If I had different gearing like 3.73's or 4.10's, I probably wouldn't notice it as bad as the tire would have more mechanical advantage of torque, but 3.42 gears being in 6th under 50mph is annoying.
