Allison 6sp: Sun Coast Stg V Break In

I am running the same setup myself. I did exactly what was said above. You'll find that the shifts will be a little hard at irst but they will smooth out. And I know a lot of folks including Mike L will say to reset the TAPS with a Tech II but I didn't it's just a slower learning process. And then give that MFer hell!!!
Another question about these taps. So say I build a trans. Now say I drive like a grandpa for 2 months and then for some reason want to do a WOT run down a country road. Will the trans slip because the taps are set for the grandpa driving?
Does T/H mode have different TAPS setting?
My other concern is pulling heavy. I run during the week without a trailer (and drive like a grandpa for MPG) and then if I hook up to a trailer on the weekend with a built tranny, will there be issues with slipping when pulling heavy with a decent tune in?

At the minumum you would need to do an adaptive reset to clear the taps out I would think just to be safe. And I know on my 02 if I don't go do the 3 consecutive runs up and down through the gears it will shift like crap until I rest and start over again.
So if I always drive for mileage in regular mode and always drive the bag off it in tow haul mode will the 2 sets of taps hold true to that style, is it as simple, after say 2 weeks of driving "nice" as pushing tow haul and it will hold at WOT????
Yep, T/H and normal have different TAPS entirely from each other as well as 4LOW has it's own set as well for when you are in 4 low. Mine is set up now where in normal mode it slides through the gears, but latch on the trailer and hit T/H and she shifts solid and firm. Just don't make the mistake of leaving it in T/H when you don't want it to be. The later TCM's adapt QUICK. I left my DSP on for just a couple of shifts for about 3 miles and the ALLY had re-adapted already to it.
damn good info. Before I have read it was basically a 50/50 for peeps who ran in tow/haul and peeps who didnt. I was one that never used it, except for towing. I will now be putting it in tow/haul when I want to mash the go pedal and then take it out when cruisin'. Thanks
Ive always wondered about the learning tranny, how I could just be cruisin the whole week, then out of now where, be doing wot shifting.
