I just got my 03 SS Silverado and got my HPTuners to work with it. Question is about TQ Management. How much should I turn off and still be safe? I don't really want to get a new tranny anytime soon. I have no mods yes but only plan on getting the normal bolt ons. Thanks for the help!!

 

FWIW here is a screenshot of my tranny TM. Engine TM is completely reduced.

 

i would run 80% off at the most but thats just me anymore and you starting to seriously lose tranny life

 

so whats the downfall of this on a bone stock truck?

 

Potentially reduced transmission life.....so says GM anyway

 

I'm running no engine tq mgmt and 85% tranny tq mgmt

with the common tranny upgrades I wouldn't flinch at reducing it to 1/2 to 1/4 of stock

 

noob steppin in

how does not havin TM reduce the life of the tranny?
and if you take all the TM off on a stock tranny how bad is that?

 

to my knowledge(although limited) it's just as it sounds. There is less torque restriction. Torque is what puts stress on your transmission. From what I've heard if you get rid of it all. You'd better at THE LEAST have a shift kit and do a vette servo.

 

I have zero TQ management in mine. We'll see how long it last. Warranty doesn't go up for another 30K.
