I have all of mine removed, engine and transmission, for the last 6 months. I also don't drive like I'm on a race track, much. I left the torque management in tow/haul mode though.

Rammer,

I have an '06 truck just like yours. What have you seen from tuning your truck w/ the TM removed? Fuel mileage? power? Compared to your truck stock. Thanks in advance

Raymond S, I changed more than just the TM. With that in mind, My truck doesn't fall flat on takeoff or during shifts now.

 

Mileage is better because of the tuning I did, nothing to do with TM.

 

Power is increased with the timing tables, Power Enrichment, etc changes I have made in the PCM.

 

Jack, Torque Management in Tow/Haul. Seems to me that GM did this for longer life and towing a trailer is very abusive to the truck. So I decided to leave all the transmission TM in place, but I have no engine TM in either tow/haul or normal mode because when you change the engine parameters its for all modes.

Same trip, same load, same destination, one year apart and close to the same weather. I noticed 12.2 mpg compared to 10 mpg when i had the stock pcm installed. I told Jesse to give me more power and raise the shift points in tow/haul mode. Love the increase and alot less downshift from 3rd to 2nd. I assume they did something with that much of an increase.

 

My biggest complaint towards Jesse and Hannah is that when I get my pcm back they never tell me what they actually end up doing to it. I know what I requested but there is nothing to tell me what he actually did.

premature? thats BS. I have had mine removed 100%, abuse mode disabled, etc and I haven't had the first problem.

 

It all boils down to how you drive it. If you abuse your truck, keep the TM on, if not and you can drive like you're a normal person..it'll last a long time.

 

Gee, what did we EVER do before Torque management in the 80's and 90's.....................

We drove like white folk'

Yeah, IMO- Torque Mngt. is BS from GM. We paid for 295hp/335, I want it available to me at all times. It's just a way for GM to cover their butts.

I have a WAIT4ME tune installed.

I had to bring my truck in last week as it was running like a Ford. Turned out one of the O2 sensors was bad.

Before bringing the truck in, I removed the tuned PCM and put back in the original (didn't want the dealership to re-flash, thus wiping out the tune).

When I put back the turned PCM, do I need to get the crank relearn done again? I didn't bother getting the crank relearn done when I put back in the original.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      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?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      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.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      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”.
