Re: Re: Re: 5.3 Rev and shift points for 2003

I heard that the reason the shifts were intentionally softened was because the 4l60E had a habit of puking its guts when they put it behind the 6.0L. Sounds like the dealer was giving me a load of crap.

My first tranny lasted 126,000 with the firmness on, and it was still chirping second when I sent it in for the core charge. The only time the 4l60e starts to have real problems is when torque management is removed without a shift kit or at least a corvette servo. You should ride in a truck with 0% torque management sometime. It feels like an entirely different truck between shifts.
