green ... make sure it's plugged. They may have unplugged it and forgot to plug it back up. I did that once.
I gotta agree with HitMan here ... he has done his homework on the trannies. He's a pretty sharp guy on this kind of stuff. I know I'd take his suggetions into consideration.

Well make sure it's the O2 itself. If your cats are bad, stuck injector, etc that could cause whetever condition that presents itself now. If it's the Rear O2... just get them turned off via Edit and save the money for more power!

Thanks man, I appreciate pats on the back like that. It means a lot to me at times like this.
If I was a total waste of space would I spend my time helping others with their problems? Doubtful. Like I said people come to me for info that I have...

It feels like when it shifts, your foot comes up for about a second and a half, then you give it more gas. It's not at all gradual feeling, it's like it's a switch when the timing comes up.
That's the best I know how to explain the torque management, maybe someone else can hit on what I missed.

Perfect description there...at least how my truck feels with a shift kit, stall and full TMI'll have the ****** pedal to the floor and when it shifts...sometimes even when I'm not shifting...it will feel as if my foot is off the gas...thats TM
I've logged several times with EFI Live and when at WOT 1-2 shifts it goes from 28 degrees timing(I think) to -8 degrees...that's NEGATIVE 8 degrees timing.
TM pulls all that power to save the tranny...

Ive been asking him questions about servos and the TransGo for so long now. But I did finally decide what Im going to do thanks to him. He is a wealth of knowledge and many will atest to that. To comment on HitMans post on Westers tunes, I found it informative and factual! Because so far everybody on this board has said Westers tunes conservatively. This board isnt the only one where that information circulates. Thus so many people switching from Westers to Nelsons like the Nelson tune much more. I wouldnt bash somebody on this board just because they havent done me a personal favor or whatever. You attacked HitMan because you havent found a thread or post of his useful to you in 2 years. Give me a break buddy! He has started other threads and has posted other replies around here divulging countless tips, tricks, information and whatnot. HitMan is OK by me!!
thanks for the reply 02denali, driven tunes
