Got questions about my tuner, HELP!!!

[Afboy143]

I just got my tuner back from doug. I bought the tuner used and got it tuned for 93 torqe. I have been running 93 octane the past 3 gas tanks before I installed this tune so I know there is all 93 in there. Before I did the tune, i removed the gas pump relay under the hood and disconnected it on the passenger side under the dash. I did the tune and I went to go drive it and the shifts were a lot harder and it didnt feel any faster/more power. I disconnected the battery and am resetting it as I type this. What else could it be? Do I just need to drive around and let my truck get used to it?

reset the battery...still hard shifts...still doesnt feel better...any ideas?

Firmer shifts are normal for a flasher tune, did you also have your Rev limiter removed? is it gone?

 

[Afboy143]

not sure, just shipped to doug and said let me get the most popular 93 tune

After driving it at night it feels a lot better. I guess you cant feel much of a diff in 90 degree weather?

Contact Doug and discuss this with him.

Good luck ....

Als Right
Talk to your tuner, the PCM may need to relearn a few parameters over the next few days.
At the most you may pick up 10/12 HP, is hard to just feel, seat of the pants.

Thanks guys, I just didnt know if it might be something easily fixed. I emailed doug and we shall see!

Spindle, Al, how much harder did your tranny shift after you got it tuned? I can tell each gear it shifts into now...

Thats it? You can now feel the shifts? Its not slamming into gears?
Sounds normal to me!
Firmer shifts are not necessarily a bad thing or bad for your transmission, with performance in mind.....
