So i have been experimenting with first gear delete and was goin through dtc's ,is it most likely throwin codes due to the erratic behavior with first gear deleted. torque converter codes and some others were comin up.

really? i changed the tune back and it is fine now. i know it was horrible to drive around town. have to constantly manually shift to first to get it to use it. it gets annoying around town. but with it in it threw a torque converter code , solonoid code and a standard tranny code. it was a lockup code for the tranny.

I wouldn't mess around with the 1st gear delete if I was you... unless you can replace burnt clutches and rebuild your torque converter.

I never had any issues with mine either. I only delete first gear from T/H mode and daily drove on the same tune with no issues. Just put the same tune in ChevyDieselLLY's TCM the other night and he hasn't mentioned any issues. Did DrHoliday's '06 TCM tune the same way and he never had any issues.

well think i will stick to using it for comp. only. it seemed to work well. and i did build it for all situations just to make sure it worked. but i was just curious as to what everyone thought. i plan on freshening up the tranny after this season but i dont want to burn up the converter. ionly usually use this tune for pullin in low range, i stay away from high range with it
