The power is majorly different now. It pulls much much harder then it ever thought of before. I also had a shift kit,servos, beast sun shell... etc put in. I know I didnt add any horsepower but its amazing what can be accomplished though a trans. They took out the batt so now I just haft to wait for the computer to relearn everything... Is there such thing as a stupid computer. It wont even Idle at this point. I think its a retard. Last time it took like 4 days to relearn.

All computers are stupid. They only do what they're told to do

Just drive it around for a few hours... CONTINUOUSLY. Run it easy for a bit... cruising. Then, from low speed to as fast as you can (or law allows). I'd find an open roadway to do those. Preferrably where law enforcement is least likely to bust ya for speeding.
My truck doesn't take more than 20 minutes to return to normal after having the battery disconnected for up to a month. Yes, a MONTH!

This "relearn" thing is a lot like ADD in my opinion....
Cool IAN,,glad your happy...As for the computer it should not take days or hours for your tune to take effect...There will be minor adjustments over a period of time but nothing noticable..IMO something else is going on...what is your truck doing exactly?
Surging still. Then if I put let it stop freaking thing goes dead. I know all computers have to relearn crap. But this things is way worse than anything I have ever been in.

IMO its not the computer..something else is wrong..I have talked to many real tuners about this and they all say the same thing...a tune makes the changes immidiatley with small tweaks over about 150 miles of driving but nothing that you will notice....are you getting any DTC's?Originally Posted by Show&Go
Did you have Virgil retune it after the converter? If not you really need too. I had my Circle D 3000 put in about a month ago and retuned last week. night and day difference. Just like if you change the cam you have to retune to get optimal results.

does anyone have any idea what this could be? If it isnt the tune itself.... Last time virgil tuned it it would not Communicate with the computer. Could there be a communication error somewhere?

well maybe the computer isnt holding the tune???? I guess i should rephrase my post above in that Its not the tune learning causing the problem..but maybe a bad PCM could be..I dunno...no codes or anything?
