    What do you need help with?

    What is or isn't the truck doing?

    I highly suggest you turn the transmission torque mngt back on. If you don't know how the 6L80e operates, you are going to hurt the transmission by removing all the torque mngt. It needs TM to function correctly and to not hurt the internals.

    Here is a 2012 tune of mine, use what you want from it. I'm running stock size tires and 3.42 gears just for your information. So don't change anything related to shift mph speeds and stuff.

    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    Thanks for the reply, I will turn on TM on trans.

    The truck is actually doing okay as far as I can tell, I am just trying to wet my feet with the tune as I have a box chock full of parts to delete the dod and vvt + a mid range cam.
    I will use your file to learn from, I'm a hands on guy, and if I can build an engine from the block up, I am going to at least attempt to learn to tune my own stuff.

    Again, the help is much appreciated.
