5 star tuning
FINALLY GOT TO MAKE A TRIP IN MY FR3 MOTOR HOME FORD V10. I REALLY NOTICED A DIFFERENCE IN POWER/TORQUE, NOT QUITE AS MUCH AS I HAD HOPED. HERE IS WHAT I SAW ( SW TEXAS TRIP SOME IN HILL COUNTRY) a LOT OF THE TRIP ON INTERSTATE WITH SLIGHT ROLLING HILLS.
On SMALL hills it stayed in overdrive better, tiny bit steeper torque converter kicked out, little more than that , converter kicked out and downshift- as soon as this would happen , I would kick cruise control off and it would go back to high gear and converter would engage, all while leaving throttle at same place and mph would remain the same(60) mph. I tried this many times with same technique. Finally gave up and turned cruise off, unless on almost completely level ground. Using foot pedal only RV would climb fairly steep hills with slight depression on accelerator to maintain my 60mph, much better that without your program.
This makes me believe that there is still room for you to make improvement on the converter kicking off with the cruise control engaged. Not engaged works lot better. I am happy with the improvements the programmer makes but would be elated if it worked with cruise control on.
Larry Frazee this letter sent to 5 star tuning should have mentioned that I was towing a 4 door jeep( which I always tow, so comparison is the same)
