Default Cheapest way to turn off Torque Management on a manual tranny

I'm looking for the cheapest way to turn off all of torque management. I have a manual transmission on a 2001 3/4 ton with a 6.0L. The engine has no modifications. I want to run 87 octane. I use this truck offroad all the time. The only solution I have run across is a Diablo tuner for $400. Will the Diablo turn off all of torque management? Do I need to look at different tuners? My only desire is to get this damn torque management **** turned off. Thanks for all the help.

Correct me if i'm wrong but a Manual (standard) Transmission shouldn't have any TM!

Torque management pulls timing from the motor during auto trans shifts to protect the tranny. I believe the only torque management on your truck is your right foot

Why is it can can't hardly turn a tire over on black top? The thing bogs like crazy if I try to take off hard. I was told it was torque management so I wouldn't damage the read end, etc.

I will correct you because you're wrong The trucks of course don't have any transmission tq management, however there is engine torque management too. You will need it removed by getting a tune of some sort. IHDude, If you lived closer to MN, I would just do it for free. Takes 5 MIN with HP Tuners.

Talk to Wait4me, he can hook you up with a little better tune and no TM for $157 bucks, of $75 if you send him your PCM. He is a sponsor---------------->

Calling him is best.

Well i was correct there is no tranny TM, but I will bow in your direction for a more complete response.
