You say the motor and the ECM are new (used). The ECM is VIN locked to the PCM of the truck it comes out of - from what I understand anyway. I have heard of programmers that are able to reprogram the ECM and relock it to the PCM you try to run it with, but I don't know how to do it myself. I see...

Hey James, surprisingly, that helped alot. I now have about a 1-2 second pause instead of the 4-5 second pause before. Still not as aggressive as a bone stock 06, but much better. By the way, you were right on the Revo timing #4 is max timing... on the RevoTNT timing #2 is max timing. It seems...

James, I'll try those exact settings tommorow and let you know. I have the torque management set to 4 or minimum management now. I think the setting for maximum timing is #2. You say you have about a 1 second pause - I have about a 4-5 second pause.

Its not a stupid question, in fact I think you the third person who asked me that. Yes, it is starting out in first - I counted the shifts to make sure myself. I've also tried starting out with the shifter in 1st and manually shifting - same thing.

Motorhead, I did just get rid of the stock trans, and yes this torque converter is definitely tighter - the issue is that with the stock software reinstalled (no Smarty) the truck takes off from a dead stop faster than it does with the Smarty software installed. Even with the stock trans I could...

Yeah, counted the shifts, I'm in 1st. Without a rail gauge I have no way of knowing whats going on pressure wise, but would a bad relief valve do this? Maybe loss of pressure until RPMs are up high enough to make enough fuel pressure. Can a reliefe valve bleed pressure a little bit? Or is it...

No, I don't have any FP gauge. But I wll agree it feels like its starving, but if that were the case, would I still see the massive amount of black smoke?

I gave it a shot over lunch... no change. The truck just won't develop power until after its making about 8lbs of boost or so. Could it be a bad sensor without throwing any codes?

TWest, I'll give it a shot tonight. I have heard of doing this before except for the whole door open when disconnecting the batteries part - I'm guessing this is to let the dome light draw any residual power??

My friend's stock '06 will spin the tires lightly from a dead stop when you just mash the pedal --- that was all I really wanted. Like I said earlier, I'm not looking to shred the tires from every stoplight. Shouldn't this motor make enough power to do that before making boost? -Like the stock '06??

Nope nothing like that.

Thats what I was led to beleive. Torque management set to 4 which I understand to be the least available using the Smarty - I've also tried leaving on default on the various levels. As far as timing goes I've tried every setting 1-4 on various Catcher levels ( 3, 4, 5, 9 ). I've noticed with...

No, transmission works great. Truck accelerates fine with stock software. Maybe I din't explain my frustration correctly... At an intersection from a dead stop with stock software, if I mash the go pedal the truck grunts and takes off... with any of the Smarty software loaded it won't do that...

I want to be included in the drawing.

OK, just got my new transmission installed, and hooked up the Smarty for the first time. Midrange power and higher is GREAT, however, I didn't think I would lose low end power. . I've tried every setting I can, and no matter how I set it, my take off from a dead stop is slow. Lots of black smoke on...
