What are the symptoms of tourqe management? If I have it, how can I get rid of it?

01 scsb 5.3L blown

 

if youve got a supercharger on that thing... chances are you have torque management lol.

usually you can feel it on the 1-2 shift, feels sortof sluggish then picks back up. on stock tuning if you have over 350rwtq on a 5.3L torque management is enabled. (300 on a 4.8 for some reason...) i dont think you HAVE to have over 350rwtq to get this though, there are other things that could cause it as well. not exactly sure about that though.

 

is it just on the 2001 + trucks?
or 2000 and 99 also?

 

it's present on my 2000 5.3 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

 

ok, so what the hell is it?
is it something to do with the computer?
please, enlighten me.....
how do you get rid of it?

 

Have you ever noticed how it seems the trucks fall on there face between gears?

Doesn't it feel like the tires should be barking on the 1-2 upshift?

TQM is what prevents this from happening. TQM is supposed to help extend longevity of the 4L60E trans in heavy use applications.

TQM can:
1. Retard timing between shifts
2. Delay shift solenoid engagement
3. Remove fuel from 4 of 8 cylinders

This is nothing a performance vehicle needs. As you begin to make more power the effects of TQM become more and more appearant and the effects more and more costly(performance wise.)

TQM uses a culmination of 5 sensors to determine how its going to react to "elevated tq levels." This is a 100% computer managed system and as far as I can see not removable...but can be minimized through custom programming.

The 99's have it but it is not that noicable, 2000 got a larger dose but the 01-02's are by far the most invasive. I've lost as mucha as5 tenths in the 1/4 due to TQM phenomenon.

Do the 2500s also have Torque Management?

 

Yes they do - 4L80E is also overly protected by GM.

 

I definatly have TQM, there is no reason why my tires shouldnt chirp. Im a little pissed about the whole TQM. Someone must know how to bypass it. If there is a possibility to pick up 1/2 second from getting rid of it, i want it.

Torque Managment is the DEVIL <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

My truck sounds like it lets a big ol FART between the 1-2 shift with the cutouts open. Until someone figures out how to get around it, I'm just gonnna deal with it.
