Where are all the TM parameters?

[isac]

I just bought a predator U7194 for my new body style, 2007 Sierra VortecMAX 6.0L because I was looking for the ability to modify the torque management parameters, and when I connected it to my truck, I found out that they are not even there. What is going on? Are these gonna be available as an update later on or what?

On my Corvette, the tuner disables TM for my M-6. It reduces it, part of the performance tune, if you have a slushbox. I would guess the same applies to your truck.

I tried both the diablo tune and the 87 octane tune and TM is definitely still there, the truck does feel somewhat more responsive so the tune may have reduced TM a little bit, aside from the other aspects of the tune but it is still not where i would want it to be. Now, about your Corvette, it is to my understanding that whent you connect the tuner to your vehicle, it automatically detects what vehicle it is and provides you with the tunning options for it accordingly; so I would think that it would be different, but I guess one of the experts here should be able to answer that for us.

The new GM vehicles with the standalone TCM control currently do not have theoption to fully remove TM in automatic applications.
TM is reduced in the provided tunes, and you will be able to completely eliminate it once the tools are updated to support the TCM programming.

Thanks for your reply mikel, I have a couple more questions though:

1. Is this update supporting TCM pregramming going to be available as an internet downloadable update?
2. Do they expect it to be ready in a few months? A year?
3. Currently, can you guys reduce TM anymore through your custom tunes?

Thanks in advance.

1. Yes
2. I would say 1-2 months at the most
3. No, the TM in the PCM has been eliminated, any TM that remains is in the TCM.

Thanks

All good news for me, thanks for the quick reply mikel.
