Took her for a 60mile ride to test the fuel economy tune i installed the other night. Got about 3.1 mpg gain.


Did you drive it normal or try to get every last mile out of the fuel !?

Playing with tune..on my laptop. Going to raise the torque converter lockup w.o.t. in first to try and take advantage of higher stall converter. Stock its set to lockup at 17mph full throttle which is appr 2,000 rpm. Installed a 2,200 to 2,400 stall with my tranny rebuild which it will never reach with lockup set at 2,000 rpms. Have to brake torque it in 2wd to test actual stall point with lockup disabled.

Interestingly with the stock tune anything below half throttle keeps it unlocked in 1st but then it is set to shift earlier.
