[QUOTE="Charles, post: 1380695, member: 103"] With 2 young kids, time is a non commodity for me at present, lol. Regardless, any questions you have will almost certainly be the exact same ones that others have, so ask them and me and anyone else can chime in and try to help get you pointed in the right direction. Really the only requirement is that you actually be [i]tuning[/i] in between question asking, because just talking about things will never, ever work on this subject in my experience. The results have to be felt in the truck. Mainly so that it can be understood how things do NOT work. There are a few common areas that always need attention when changing a calibration. I think everyone else will have the same issues you will, as did I and as I will continue to have and work through with the same solutions learned in the past every time I make changes. Idle quality, idle rpm "backup" if you will, so that idle has "power" to stay put when dropped in gear, or clutch released, things like the "gov spings" for lack of an electronic equivalent term, where you shape the MFD table so that the truck will slowly tail on fuel as rpm climbs so that it will have reserve power off a shift and the net effect is smooth acceleration, as opposed to the engine running away and then dogging out if the "governer" was too "loose", or the engine trailing off hard and then rocking back to life way too hard if the "governer" was too "tight" like Ag style. That is something controlled by the steepness of the MFD table. If the values for a given pedal position fall sharply as rpm climbs, the truck will act more "AG" and if the values are shallow with little fall with increasing rpm the truck will kiiiiiiind offffff ruuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnn aaaaawwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay as you hold you foot still on the pedal through a gear, lol. Makes me want to throw a lit match at one. You end up having to let off to keep the truck from taking off, then you have to stab back on right off the shift, over.... and over..... and over.... until you go insane.... Point being, areas like this are always in play, for every truck, for everybody. The same issues will effect everybody. [/QUOTE]
