Hey 02denali, glad to hear James got your tune done. Looks like he came through looking at the most recent reply. So you said all the torque management is history. I have loads of it left, unless my truck is exceptionally weak or some thing. My old 2wd, 2000 5.3l w3.42 gears roasted the tires without a problem. What gives man, my new truck has problems out of the hole creating wheel spin. Not like I just want to burn em all day but once in a while is fun. Maybe I should quit whining and be happy I have traction.
Maybe a e-mail to James is in order for me as well.
happy for ya man!!

Hey 02, what are the settings? Go into "view parameters" and see if it has the settings for the fuel trim, spark, shifts, etc.
Thanks, Jim

What the difference between short term and long term fuel trims? Which do I base it on? So, when I'm crusing at 70 and mine are higher than 1.56% (which do I look at, long or short?) I need to go - on my power enhancement (lean it out?).
Thanks, Jim

Wow. I've been away a while!! Did you guys ever get the numbers off the custom tune done by James? I was looking at the diagnostic mode and also would like to know what is the difference between long and short term on both settings. Let me know if you can. Thanks.

watch your long term ft.they need to be -. the max they should be at 70 should be 1.56.if it is getting higher then you need to get ahold of james.
