Okay, I keep hearing people turning off TM in their trucks and then some people say "don't do it".
So if it's turned off, it won't have that slight pause when I floor it, correct?
But, if it's turned off, it can hurt my transmission or drive line, correct?
So all in all, I turn it off and I can jump the line before others, but it will kill my tranny after a while...

Turning off TM in a truck

RE: Turning off TM in a truck
you'll be fine...
turn the fist 2 options off, but leave the 3rd one on...
============================
* TM Abuse Mode time limit: (turn off)
This is the time in abuse mode as a function of temperature. Turning it off in conjunction with Upshift Torque reduction and %Torque Reduction vs RPM will eliminate torque management.
* %Torque Reduction vs RPM: (turn off)
Torque reduction as a function of RPM, turning it off in conjunction with TM abuse mode time limit and upshift torque reduction will eliminate torque management.
* Upshift Torque reduction: (leave it on)
Torque reduction control for each individual gear, turning it off in conjunction with TM abuse mode time limit and %Torque Reduction vs RPM will eliminate torque management. However we have noticed that the shift feel when disabling the upshift torque reduction in trucks and SUV's is reduced and therefore recommend leaving it ON for trucks and SUV's.
===============================
you may still have a little pause when launching off the line, but that can be cured with a custom tune if need be.
