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

    • Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?     
    • Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.  
    • Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!
    • I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
