I finished my manual swap 9 days ago now and for the first 4 days it was running fine, I had an 87 octane no trans tune , it wasn't flashing codes or anything. The on the 4th day I received a new 93 octane no trans tune so I went to the gas station and filled up with 93 and loaded the tune. When I started to drive off the truck wouldn't rev past 1500 rpm it looks to me like its cutting fuel, I figured it was just the tune so I set it back to the 87 no trans tune and for some reason it started doing the same thing and I had been driving it for day with no problem. So for the past 5 days or so I have been driving it with the 93 auto trans tune or the stock one because all the auto trans tunes rev and work like they are supposed to but they are starting to irritate me because the whole truck jerks when it tries to shift the auto. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to what could be causing this, I have tried multiple different tunes, different Desktop computers to load the tunes, reinstalled the SCT program. I can upload a video also if that would help.

Thanks, Chase
 






I think I remember reading that you can't rev an automatic past a certain RPM when its in park. That's likely whats happening.

I'd guess something in the tune is wrong and it thinks you are in park.
 






I don't think it is that because it was working until I tried to change to higher octane tune, and I am driving right now with the stock tune and it still thinks the trans is in park because I jumped those wires. I just don't understand why the tune worked fine then when I loaded a new tune it made all the manual trans cut out at around 1300 rpm but all auto trans tunes work. Does anyone know if there is a way to get my SCT Xcal 3 possibly erased and restored so I can start from scratch.
