I know SpeedTweaks has the modification posted on how to drill out the factory TPS Sensor and rotate it to increase the sensitivity. Does anyone out there produce/manufacture an "aftermarket" TPS Sensor that you can do the adjusting with? Very curious.... I know this mod however I get it done... should make a huge difference since it shifts into 2nd @ 10mph even under 1/2 throttle.
I just installed my Mopar Performance PCM and got my tranny worked over by a local professional. I am quite happy so far. Massive difference... probably from the tranny work I suppose. I "feel" like it has 20-30% more "go" on the city streets now. I don't drive my truck hard, unless getting on GB-190. ;)
My 2nd gear band only had about 50 miles left on it.. looked terrible... can't believe that tranny looked so bad at 43k miles.
Thanks in advance!!!!

The TPS mod doesn't affect shifting just throttle response. No one make a adjustable that I am aware of.

Check your key-on voltage first from center wire to ground. If near .7v skip mod. Mine was .65 and mod allowed adjust to .7volts. Noticable off-idle throttle response ipmrovement. Takes 10-15 minutes and worth it.

Thanks for the info on the TPS. I checked on it at Autozone and it was about $30... just in case I screw it up. ;)
So can anyone tell me why the blasted thing wants to prematurely shift into the next gear as you take off from a light? I can't stand it. I've rode in a few others that do the exact same thing.
What actually tells the tranny to downshift even when you just "slightly" mash the gas to pass on a city street?
Thanks!
