email for the data logging pids, I can send you back a file that will have everything I want to see recorded. The grid heater I can take care of, the low coolant on the dash, don't think I'm going to be getting rid of that one for you.... I can shut off any codes related to it, but the message will stay. Best to get a resistor to put in the plug or plug it into your tank if you can.

for the logs I'd really like to see it going through a full launch though and a simulated pass down the track so we can see where the trans is really shifting versus where it should be, etc... a log of it driving on the street normal and shifting normal isn't going to give me much to work with....

Here is one pass. Can't really see the tire hopping and crap off the line. This was a 10psi launch.

First pass lbz s475/ stock compound turbos: http://youtu.be/7eO2b9PTINQ

And this is on the street tonight. Listen to the shifting. Feels worse than it sounds. Feels like forever between shifts.

Someone needs to figure out how to lock in shifting. I'd pay good money for that. I think I should have stayed longer and got a few more passes in to see if shifting got better. But the wife was ready to go. Even tried to get her to run the truck. No go.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could have a second dsp5 switch for the TCM!!! We had big trouble with new fire engines and Allison learning transmissions. Fire engines get driven very differently every time they roll, going on calls, retuning from calls, public appearances, parades. They are always short trips and never driven the same. Some times too smart is just dumb lol

You do have a switch for the TCM it's called tow haul.... Normal mode and tow hall have different TAPs.

I hope I'm not just spoiled by built 68rfe's. Lol. Even stock it felt better than my built Allison. I have noticed on the street that it spins the tires at the 1-2 shift now. I've been trying to daily drive in t/h and if I'm running hard I go normal. Read something about t/h having less line pressure. But with a modded valve body who knows what's really going on in there. I talked to Zach and I should have not rekearned the trans. It shifts worse for too long after. But figured it was a smart deal with adding a Turbo and tuning. Hopefully I'll get to run with the drag radials this season at least once more.

I love the Alison especially since I tow heavy. The Alison 1000 was never ment to be used in the manner the majority of us do, it is a class 6 light commercial truck transmission. If I were going to build a dedicated drag race truck I would most likely built a turbo 400.
