Exclamation TS Chip Installed... Trans Issues...HELP

Ok folks, so i finally had time and got my TS 6-Position chip installed... the power is definatly there, but my issue is now with the transmission. The truck will shift up from 1-2-D then the TC locks very soon, before 40 mph when it normaly does right before OD. Also when driving down a hill and letting off the gas, the RPM's normally drop to an idle. Now they stay up because the TC is still locked untill i hit the brake. Is this normal? I can see that maybe keeping the RPM's up makes the ride less "jolty" by allowing for power to be applied then let off the gas and get back on, it just seams strange to me. Any ideas would be great! thanks!!

EDIT: as a note, I wasn't able to remove the PCM to clean the terminals, I did it with it installed, Is there a way to get the PCM out without taking out the plastic wells? Mine just wouldn't clear the sound insulation to get out...

The things you describe is the new programming you have. Do you know what PCM code your PCM is? You chip is currently burned TDE1. that is how the tranny acts with that calibration code. You probably have a PCM that is different than like a NAW4 or 6

the original PCM code is NAW6. What the truck is doing is locking the TC at 35 and OD at 45 (I have 3.55's) instead of waiting till 45 and locking TC+OD. Maybe that how it's suppose to be and I'm just not used to it yet? Thanks!

You can ask TS but I would guess your chip is burned a TDE1 now and thats how they shift.

Alright I can live with that, I just wasn't used the the TC staying locked in the 35-45 MPH range... I just wanted to be sure that there wasn't an issue with the chip. Thanks for your help!

No problem. I would be a bit concerned as well if my truck starting doing that and I didn't know why!
