dangerous06 · 10-24-2014, 08:41 AM

Well I have a couple huindred on the new tranny and am liking the new TQ 400 lower stall.
Mileage has gone up truck wants to go on its own from Idle! Only issue i have is smoke on take off pretty bad if i lay into it becaus the TQ locks so soon!
Any tuning tips?
Any tips on towing with this thing?

I'm not familiar enough with 48re tuning, but bringing my tv screw up on my 47re worked great. It makes it carry 1st gear a lot longer and it made my truck drive so much cleaner. It also makes the truck feel like it's got to put in much less effort.

I know your TV stuff is electronic, but if you could change your 1st gear shift point higher, I think that'd help.

As for the pre-turbo smoke (really low rpms), that sounds like a question for someone other than me!

I agree. Have the gypsies do your dirty work.

Get used to low end smoke, and bump up your first couple shift points.

Adjust your boost/fuel limiter and bump your TTVA up a few degrees

I need a new EFI tuner mine dissappeared! Must say what a dog off the line it can't get out of it's own way!

2007 5.9 · 10-29-2014, 10:53 AM

Like your v2 vanished or the guy tuning vanished?

dangerous06 · 10-29-2014, 10:26 PM

Yeah the guy vanished! Been trying to get a hold of him for 2 months now I just gave up! I know he had a shop and was doing well was racing 2.6 class Name of Dustin.

maybe a dumb question but its defiantly taking off in first right? Most trucks I've put a lower stall converter in turn into animals with a stock or slightly larger than stock turbo and decent fueling upgrades. Occasionally when a governor solenoid or transducer is bad it will take off in second gear, and feel like a real dog.

dangerous06 · 10-31-2014, 06:47 AM

Hmm I'll check that thanks! It also gets hot real fast! Towed with it yesterday 200 pretty quick!

2007 5.9 · 10-31-2014, 06:59 AM

Sitting in gear at stop lights and in traffic will get it hot faster as the shear in the converter is higher creating more heat. I bump it into neutral all the time to keep temps down

dangerous06 · 10-31-2014, 10:20 PM

Yup it's running in 2nd off the line! Guess I'll pop a new pressure solenoid in it I ordered the upgraded GM style! I'll try that N drop and see if that helps with temps!
On a side note I put a new lock up solenoid in it and my switch still doesn't work I even grounded the wire at the plug and nothing! Any ideas?
