Torque Mangement is the only problem


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey all, im new to the forum. :thumbs:

I know this topic has probably been run into the ground, but i im looking to tune my own pcm but i don't want all this hi octane tune stuff, i just want torque management taken off completely. I was wondering where i can get this removed compeletely without paying for a full custom tune? The reason is b/c im going to put a 6.0 in it sometime after my warranty runs out. Then i will get a full custom tune! :cry::seeya::sick::mad:

 

Thanks,

Mike

ok first off to get rid of torque managment=tqm-you will either have to buy ls1edit or get a custom tune. beware that all tqm removal without certain measures will cause parts to wear out prematurly. unless you are going top do a shift kit and servos then i would leave some in there. :thumbs:

i beleive that it will damage the tranny first. with your 4l80 you can get away with more. i think with a shift kit and servo there are a lot of people that are getting rid of 100% tqm with no problems.

predator is a handheld unit that changes certain charactristics that will help. if you get it from johan at runningwiththedevil you can get a custom tune from them. i had a lot of problems with mine and know others that have had probs to. i know a custom tune for an 04 is expensive but is unmatched by any handheld. give nelson perf a call. link is in my sig.

If you get a tune from Nelson, Westers, PCMForLess, etc they will all update your tune when you put the 6.0 in for a nominal fee. That way you can enjoy the benefits while you wait to do the 6.0. Give them a call and they will fill you in on the details or check them out online. :mad:

 

O ya welcome aboard. :thumbs:

You do know that as soon as the dealer plugs into your truck for whatever reason, they will find it right away, and bub-bye waranty.

 

Trucks arn't for speed, thay are for work, no torque managment will be super hard on your trans.

I'm not worried about a warranty, but if you have one, you should be.

 

Trucks arn't intended to be fast, but if yours is fast, then your better off. :cheers:

I cant stand the torque managment....what is th epoint of having 500 tq if you cant use it......the allison trany is literally desighned to slip...that make no sense to me..doesnt slipping a clutch kill it quicker????????should we maybe just put stonger clutch packs in the first place..or just keep beeting these thing from the factory...something is allway going to brake..just keep biuding it.....lol

    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.  
    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
