Shifting Question

My truck has been running great with the dp tuner in it but i just have one concern. The shift points seem to be very solid but when my torque converter shifts in at about 45 mph there is a really noticable jerk in the shifting. Is this something jody can take care of or is there another problem?

Yes he can. It takes a very minimal amount of time to "fix" your issue but he will need to reburn your chip.

If it makes you feel any better, the firm apply of the torque converter clutch is really a lot better for the life of the friction material though.

^^^^ x2. The quicker the shift, the better for the tranny. With less slippage there's less energy lost and less heat due to friction on the internals. I don't have a chip so my torque converter doesn't lock up as firmly as I would like it, but I have a valve body and all of my transmission shifts are as firm and as quick as can be (my wife can attest to it, although she's not as much a fan of it as I am).

Nothing's wrong. Yes, Jody can fix that with a reburn if it bother's you.
