I've always had an irritating flat spot in my truck since new. The Revo settings I am using minimize this but they're still there. [/QUOT



Does your flat spot happen while in third gear? I never noticed this with the previous versions of the software. It's almost like the truck loses power mid throttle then when you push it all the way down everything is fine. This only happens to me in third gear. I also noticed once that when I got on it a little and went to slow down for a stop sign the engine kept going up in RPMs. It was a little unnerving. It was almost like the truck had a delay in recognizing the let up in throttle. The motor just hung up there in the higher RPMS.

If I can get these issues resolved this programing will be perfect. It definitely works better with my mods. I don't think there will be any need for any additional boxes.
 
Software seems to work great except for two problems I have noticed on my truck. They both probably donot affect the automatic guys. I 've noticed that when trying to make a hard run shifting is aproblem. The RPMs donot drop when trying to shift locking the next gear out. It's almost like the engine runs away. The second problem I noticed is a flat spot in the middle of running through 3rd gear. Anybody else with a manual noticing these problems?

Bob do you have any answers for this.

The program I have loaded is the TNT REVO. My smarty is set for aftermarket turbo(wastegate 1), injectors(3), and wild torque management(4). Shift defuel off. Rail Pressure(4).



The 03 manuals did this with the factory programming. If you have ever drove one you will easily notice the rpm's hang up or dont wanna come down after a shift.



It was in the programming and the 03's were the only ones that did it from the factory, dont know if it was rail pressure or something else. Try taking some pressure out of it.
 
Bob or Marco,


How do you get the TNT/R for S-06. All I can find is the TNT.

I'll check it out later. It does seem to be in third gear but I'll monitor the rev's. As far as idling at an intersection,everything is normal. The drive-by-wire rev's in these don't rise or fall as fast as my '99 and the power is not as linear. Of course I had an auto last time. I have driven a friend's 6-speed '99 and it has no such flat spot.
 
Ok, I have waited and waited for an update for my 2nd. gen. smarty. Whats the real deal? Is it really going to happen, or have we just been put off again? I kept mine thinking we would get needed improvements, but its been like a politician, broken promises and alot of talk. For me it was a waste of hard earned money. Thanks alot.

I'm pretty sure they've been saying for a while that it would be 5. 9CR Revo, then 6. 7, then 2nd gen

Don't hold your breath, kglenn. You won't get an answer. Sell your Smarty, like other 2nd Gen guys have and buy a Quadzilla, either the XZT+ or the Adrenaline.
 
I would like to get the adrenaline for sure, but I cant seem to get the money put back lately. Thats why it really tees me off that I blew it on a smarty. I know some think its great, but I just don't see it that way.
 
I feel your pain... I was supposed to go to settlement, to sell my house this Friday. Yesterday I find out that, instead of coming to the table with $3800 like my realtor told me, I now have to come to the table with $7316 #@$%!#@$%!#@$%!



Realtors suck, especially when they're incompetent. :mad:



One day I'll get a Quad product.
 
FLynes, That stinks. Been there, done that. Noticed youre from Angelo. I grew up in a little the little town of Bronte about 36 miles from ya. Hope you can get your deal worked out without any more surprises.

Thanks Bob any input will greatly be appriciated. I'd like to see if I can get this issue worked out of the truck.

Sorry I haven't got back to you. I purchased diesel for $4. 69(has anybody else noticed that the increase is always 10 cents and ends with a 9) the other day and it increased 20 cents by that afternoon. I went into shock and have been driving the Accord. I'll take it for a spin tomorrow.
 
Well the revolution has not started for the S-03 guys yet... .

Come on Bob or Marco, just give me a hint of when we can expect it... Tell me its going to be 9 months, 9 years, 9 days. . whatever.

THE VP Revolution software is in its final stages, I would say 3-4 weeks at the latest.

Thanks
