Don't know why would you need it, just drop the shifter into M-mode and click to 4th, works in regular and T/H mode on the 2006-2010 trucks. And honestly, I would NOT use a tune that was not read out of my trucks TCM...

That doesn't work. It still downshifts. You have to use the DVT, special tune or a scan-tool.

How is downshifting when you're holding the throttle down, never had the want or need to run on a dyno. Or is it when you level off the throttle it downshifts.?

you cannot floor the pedal at low rpm in 4th without a downshift that you don't want into 3rd.

Chris - the DVT tool doesn't work reliably for this; I asked while my truck was on Mark's rollers.

Thanks N2BRK, I have 2 TCMs and 4 modified TCM tunes for my truck on my EFI laptop, just never had the nut to install it after reading a shitload of opinions good and bad and not worth it in the long run, at least for me.

Me, I would never install a TCM tune that was not calibrated off my read out OS and both that I have were from the "read out" tune. You could copy what's in the tune posted and calibrate your read out tune, guess I overlooked that option...:eek:

i have a spare tcm i was going to throw a 4th gear lock tune in for the dyno. i tried using the DVT function my transmission made a really large bang when we put power down and limped. trans is a brandnew suncoast 6 i just want a tcm tune so i dont need to stress about it shifting etc

It limped? With no codes? Strange, sure it just hasn't learned yet?
