    It's your IE settings causing that, FYI.

    Okay, to COMPLETELY remove torque management, follow these instructions below. Keep in mind, zeroing out the torque management on the trans will likely result in a sloppy 1-2 shift at WOT. Oddly enough, some of the newer classic Silverado/Sierra trucks already have the Torque Reduction zeroed out on non-tow/haul mode. Also, yhere is some redundancy in doing some of these below, but I listed everything, regardless.

    Engine, Torque Management, General:

    Maximum Torque
    RPM vs. Gear - Max out
    vs. RPM - Max out

    Max Torque
    Max Torque - Max to 640
    Tip In Torque - Max out
    Trans Input Max - Max out
    Trans Output Max - Max out
    Front Axle Max - Max out
    Front Propshaft Max - Max out
    Rear Axle Max - Max out
    Rear Propshaft Max - Max out

    ETC Limits
    ETC TPS Max - Max out

    Spark Retard
    vs. Torque Reduction - Zero out

    Torque Loss %
    vs. Spark Retard - Zero out

    Engine, Torque Management, Abuse:

    Drivetrain Abuse
    RPM > - Max out
    Speed < - Zero out
    timer vs. Trans Temp - Zero out

    Trans, Torque Management:

    Abuse Mode
    Enabled - Set to Disabled
    RPM - Max out
    TPS - Max out
    Speed - Zero out
    Torque Reduction - Zero out

    Torque Reduction
    Normal - Zero out
    Performance (aka Tow/Haul mode) - Zero out


    I hope this helps!

    I was using this thread as a guide looking at what a tuner did to my PCM on my 2001 6.0 before I got hp tuners.
    In the Maximum Torque vs. RPM table he zeroed everything out, while you suggest Maxing it out.
    Any idea why he would have done that?

    Anybody have any input on this. I set my back to the factory settings on this table for the time being.

    Max it out. It's Maxium Torque vs. RPM table, meaning it's the most torque you can have at any given RPM. Zeroing it out would mean you allow NO torque.

    So, what is a safe level to set the TM to? How do set to say 75% removed. You can't simply set to 75% of max, because the max is extremely high in some tables.

    Question

    Quote Originally Posted by RWTD View Post

    Why does this happen? And what can be done about it, if anything?

    I have this exact issue on my 2002 Chevy truck.
    I do have a Corvette Servo coming for it, but am not sure if that will "fix" the 1-2 slop at WOT or not??

    Yes removing TQ managment will cause the shifts to feel sloppy on a stock transmission as RWTD said.If the transmission is a rather factory built 4L60E,I would personally remove about 50-60% max.I personally believe TQ managment serves a good purpose.

    If you want to remove 75% TQ managment,go under Transmission>Torque Mngmnt> Torque reduction normal
    Highlight the table and multiply by .25
    Theres your 75% you wanted taken out.
    Hope this helps

    From ALOT of testing because trucks are what I mainly tune I have found that leaving some torque management in usually allows for the shift to be completed quicker by a decent amount in some cases and have verified this by logging shift times in the scanner.

    The vette servo alone in the trucks is a tremendous improvement especially to that sloppy ugly 1-2 shift. I wish the trucks would come with the servo from the factory.

    Yes vortec I agree 100% with you there, I too feel that TQ management does serve a good purpose. I *very* rarely completely remove TQ management.

    Yep,I do not ever take it all out UNLESS the customer absolutly wants it done,but I do explain what it is there for just so they cant say I did't tell them.
    Now if the transmissions are built by the 2 companies I feel are one of the best,then I will take it 100% out but never on stock.
    I agree,the vette servo does wonders for the stock 60E.
    Of course,I am sure they did not come in them as many owners would not want to feel it,they like that slippin slide transmission.It would make sense.
    I am not a huge fan of using to high line pressure when a servo costs 20.00 dollars.
    Sorry got carried away explaining there,new years and had a few drinks!!

    Zeroin out the torque management on the transs will have sloppy shifts just on the trucks or cars too?

    I have my truck's TM settings the same as I had my 2000 Camaro TM settings (100% disabled) and it (the car) upshifted great 1>2 and 2>3. Zero slop, delay or lag. Both are 4L60E's and both are/were 100% STOCK transmissions.

    I guess it must be a truck thing....

    That can't be all there is to it. That table is zeroed out on my truck from the factory but its pulling like 35* of timing during shifts. I logged it and it is "Torque Management Advance".

    I'm now adjusting one table at a time to see which one is causing this. I have only ruled out Trans > Torque Management > Abuse Mode > Torque Reduction.

    I think it might end up being Engine > Torque Management > General > Max Torque vs. RPM. I'm adding 25% to that whole table to see if it changes how much is puuled during WOT shifts.

    yes corvette servo does give u the firmer shifts and chirp tires from 1-2 at WOT i also agree should be around 50-60% removed on stock 60e
    and the servo expands the 60e life a little longer

    Changing Engine > Torque Management > General > Max Torque vs. RPM didn't change the amount of timing puuled on WOT run but I reduced Engine > Torque Management > General > Spark Retard vs. Torque Reduction by half and my truck pulled half as much timing during the shifts.
