Now Jody can't take your PCM and flash it to a PMT1, the PCM family is different and it won't work. However, he can put PMT1 shifting and T/C lockup on any or all of your tunes. That's very easy for him to do. It will make your truck shift exactly like the PMT1 strategy.

I did try the PMT1 shift strategy for a while. I know a lot of people like it, but it didn't work out too well for me. Living near the mountains, I found the PMT1 shift strategy was difficult to work with when driving at very high altitudes, on very steep offroad trails, and especially when pulling trailers on steep winding roads. The T/C locks in 2nd gear, and the

engine RPM's drop as a result. At high altitude with no air, you can imagine the amount of smoke and the spike in EGT's. It was just too difficult to drive that way, and he changed it back to a different shift strategy that I liked better.

Now you living in Bryan, TX - don't really have to worry about altitude, so the PMT1 shifting might work much better for you. Talk to Jody and see about trying it out.
