Do you have an early or late 99? The reason I ask is because I have an early 99, and Jody burned me the late 99 tunes by accident.
It ran great, but the idle was way off.
He's reflashing it for me now.
Im just throwing that out there in case thats what happened to you???

I'm willing to bet the shifts are just hard when you're really getting on it? If so it's probably your clutch slipping and then banging into gear as I understand it.
I had the same issue. I got a JWVB and it cured that for the most part.

I should have my DP back tomorrow. Jody isn't far from us, should only take a few days.
Just for *****s and giggles I downloaded the Superchips "performance" tune onto my truck while the Dp was in the mail. (because stock is......well.... boring)
All I can say is
......I got more response from the truck in the DP 80 econ tune. Superchips should be embarrassed to sell that programmer.

Please dont build your truck to make it louder at idle... That is timing, which will send your rods out the block... Quite is what you want. Should not change the idle from stock to chipped.
Good to hear.
