    Just wondering..... if someone were to have (gasp) HPT, pulled out the EFI Live tune, modified just this one table and flashed it back, would that do the trick? I know its a sloppy workaround, even more so if you don't know anyone with a vehicle or unlimited license, just wondering if that table would be automatically cleared by any subsequent EFI Live mods.

    Yes that would work, but HPT only has it defined for a few OSs at this point so if EFILive defined them for the majority of OSs that'd be fantastic.

    Post your tune ... I can set the TCC to stay locked at 0% TPS on coast down for you.

    By way of an update ...

    HPT has now added these parameters for most / all Gen III OS. I don't mind patching a Gen III tune for people (from time to time) as these parameters are publicly available.

    For Gen IV OS - I had chased down these parameters on my own - no small amount of time involved. I charge a fee to patch Gen IV OS - to help recover my R&D costs.

    HPT has just released these parameters for a handful of Gen IV OS - only one of these OS was used in truck applications though.

    Good to hear. I'm doing an 80E trans and segment swap soon and was hoping to be able to prevent the TCC from unlocking when letting off the throttle, without using the 60E segment and relay mod. I did hear that it can be done in HPT, but was not aware that it was now possible with EFILive.

    That is an oversimplification of what I had posted - and is not accurate.

    An "off the shelf" version of HPT has some (many Gen IV are missing) of the 0% TPS TCC lockup parameters. An "off the shelf" version of EFILive has none of these.

    Some tuning softwares allow the user to add their own parameters - thankfully, EFILive is one that allows this user specific customization.

    I have invested the time and money to add many additional parameters to my version of the EFILive software. I have added parameters (guessing more than 100 by now) to operating systems from 1998 to 2014 - a necessity of operating a successful commercial venture.

    Taz,

    Here is my 4l80e tune. If you can set it so the TCC stays locked on decel I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your time!
