Who all has turned off Torque Management on the 2014-16 transmissions?

I did.... shifted like garbage. Not enough adjustability for that stuff yet to do anything like that. That's 8 speed though... 6 should be no problem to do whatever.

Yeah mine shifted awful to and Justin has tuned on mine for a while now and turned it off and I was amazed at what a difference it makes. I was wondering how many has done so when tuning the transmission.

I have done some minor tuning on my 20116's transmission. I reduced the upshift times by 30% and the downshift times by 35%. I turned off the upshift and downshift torque management and the truck shifts almost perfect. It will have to do until HP Tuners releases the pressure tables. As of now it is firm on every shift and gets after it on the shift time side. To be honest I could probably reduce the up and down shifts by 40% and it will be perfect.

 

I wish GM would take some cues from the Germans. My wifes Audi has a 8spd auto in it, under normal drive mode it shifts quick with no delay at all and just some slight firmness. Put into sport mode and the shift times are reduced in half and in snaps the shifts in place each time.

I have hp tuners and tuned my 16 5.3. Anyone want to swap tunes or let me try theirs?

LOL on the European Builders.... Hell my wife's Honda Pilot and my Daughters Civic shift better than the truck did until this last change and they are both Merican made!

are people having warranty issues with tuners?

Instead of digging through 57 pages, I'm hoping someone can answer my question. I'm thinking about picking up a 2016 w/ the 8-speed. I have HPT with an available license. Are there any components that I won't be able to edit with the tune? Is the 8-speed fully supported with the newest version of HPT?

[Badass69]

I have HPT and upon recommendation of how much of a buggy pos it is I haven't upgraded to the latest.. they were supposed to increase 8 speed support though which I want too. But in 2 weeks time they have revised the 3.2 release 25 times and it's still causing guys issues... so I will wait a bit longer. The current 8 speed stuff isn't hardly worth playing with.

My 2014 5.3 silverado has a supercharger kooks headers kooks exhaust and a cai and pcm dyno tuned my truck made 540 and 560 at the crank truck. Long story short my stick piston rods broke and came thru the block. My mechanic said the truck was running way to rich and pistons lost the lubrication due to it running to rich

Yeah, making nearly 600 hp is one thing. Getting the beast to live a long time is another. Don't ask me how I know haha. Sorry for the bad luck man. Oh and btw old broken internals make for some good furniture and accessories for a man cave.
