05 Allison TCM updates?

[Alpo]

Howdy. A friend mentioned there may be updates to the TCM program for my Ally to increase pressures on the lockup clutch in the converter. Anyone know for sure? Called stealership today and they want to book it in and have me pay for 1.5-2 hours of time to "check." Would like to know more before I have to take it to them.

Background: towing up long hills in 5th, lockup clutch will slip and send tranny into limp mode. I've lived with it for a long time now by just dropping out of OD before it happens.

Thanks,
Al

I bet the C3s are starting to go. Be careful in 3rd as well. C3 is applied in 3rd and 5th

Line pressure isn't controlled electronically in your 05, all you could change is how quickly the tcc locks up, but once locked, it goes full pressure, so if you're slipping on hills, theres an internal issue. And I don't believe there was any updates to the tcm programming for the 05. I know 01 and 02 had some updates, but that was for a harsh 2-1 downshift, and to add overdrive lockout.

When TCC occurs, it drops 100 PSI across the board.

Once the tcc is commanded 96%, it goes to full line, that is what I was talking about.
