Ok so i was wondering what the heck is torque management and what does it do. Ive heard it just hinders the performance. I just bought a predator tuner and no that you can take it off. However can u take it all off or just some and if you can only take so much off is it noticable. Ive read all the other reviews too about the wester's pcm but im a college student on a budget and just needed a little help, just looking for some help and not all the stuff about i shouldnt have wasted the money ive read them all. thanks

There are two types of management. Many will combine these both under the torque management catogory, but they are two completly different processes!

 

The first is "Abuse Management"

This kicks in whenever you abuse your truck like when you step on the gas hard off the line, or kick it down to pass someone. It has the ability to retard the engine timing and to reduce the throttle opening on the electronic throttle (Drive by wire). Makes the truck feel like its heavy and slow. It can actually be dangerous in an evasive maneuver! ALL abuse management can be safely removed.

 

Second is "Transmission Torque Management".

Just before and just after every transmission shift, the PCM will retard the engine timing to cushion the transmission and drivetrain and to make the shifts smoother. The amount of engine retard is based mainly on speed, rpm and throttle pressure. The 4L60 transmission does have it's weaknesses, and will not take much abuse. About 75% of the torque management can be safely removed if the shift timing, overlaps and pressures are adjusted in a PCM tune.

 

 

Hope that helps!

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."
