This is what torque management is. It can be tuned out for better throttle response. GM Engineers tune the truck like this so it gets better gas mileage.

Actually, Torque Management has nothing to do with throttle response. TM is used to increase the life of your transmission and make shifts smooth - it retards ignition timing during shifts.

That's funny, I can remove engine torque management and have 0 throttle lag.

LMAO-make shift points smooth....not!

My question is did YOU read this and if you did, it's perfectly understandable if you don't understand it all because there is a lot to absorb. When either one if them speak, I tend to get a headache trying to take it all in.

 

Torque Management is a broad term but you are correct is saying that it is designed to help drivetrain life BUT.... In some cases it controls throttle to do it, which ALSO makes it the nanny controlling the mushy pedal. I want my truck to go when I command it and am perfectly capable of my own torque management.

It was surprising that you quoted both those guys that I have been learning from for many years.

I have driven a 14 equipped like my 10 and there is no comparison these new trucks just have it togethet

Throttle lag is a feature of torque management for sure. I use HPT as well and it all correlates together. GM uses torque tables that are ramped from 0ft lbs of torque to 500ft lbs of torque that ramp up with throttle position and speed.

 

One of the common tuning mods it to max the cells out so the vehicle doesn't ramp in the power.

Full throttle these new trucks will kill the old ones. This lag is tuned into these trucks to help gas mileage. Yes it's annoying but it helps. Full throttle is full throttle. It will move when you put the hammer down.

And If that's not enough response... MAP A

    • I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself. 
    • I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps
    • I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace
    • google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.
    • I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
