It happens mostly after the transition from hybrid to gas mode. Only in eco or normal modes. Can occur in gas mode only as well. The transmission seems to skip 2nd gear and slams into 3rd gear. It doesn't help that the gearing is short for 2nd gear but really tall for 3rd so its even more...
I have the same symptom as you and from what i've discovered I believe it's because the transmission fluid has settled at the bottom of the transmission oil pan after sitting for a while. As you start driving, it starts to circulate throughout the transmission, lubricating the gears and parts...
I hope my review helps others make a decision if they plan to tune their truck but are on the fence about taking the leap. CAMtuning has answered every question I had concerns with to the best of his ability. This isnt my first rodeo when it comes to having my trucks tuned. I've had several...
92 Chevron only. When I ran 87, there would be a stumble around 36-48 mph when you lightly apply throttle. This was a stock truck from new and it always did that. Ever since i switched to 92, it has disappeared completely. IT took a few tanks of premium to notice the stumble was now gone. I...
My truck: 2024 Limited Iforcemax, Full-time 4wd, Hybrid
Tune: CAMTuning OTS 91 Reflash
Impressions:
Torque. 1st gear. Rips...That was my initial feelings on the first pull. The low, mid, and top end power is drastically improved over stock. Where the Cobb Tune stops with their OTS tune...
I've had a vibration at about 60mph that stops after 65mph. Tires rebalanced and replaced made some differences. It's not as bad now that i've got more miles on the new tires but I can still feel the vibration. Mine is full time 4wd so I always thought maybe one of the driveshafts were out of...
Thanks for the reply. I think I speak for most owners that the 1st gear load limit has got to be the most annoying thing about the stock tune and should be included in OTS tunes. I feel like if that's lifted it will improve acceleration significantly even on stock calibration. I had the OTT...
I just purchased an Access port. Will be arriving this week. Will the updated OTS tunes be available with the higher 1st gear load limits? Or will they require custom tune to gain access to them?
thanks
Just watch this video of Two TRD Offroads non-hybrid vs hybrid. Hybrid wins and it was only 0-50ish and the non-hybrid got beat by a car length. If the race went on he would have won by more.
My truck does it only for the first acceleration when cold. It lurches from 1st gear to 3rd gear. What I've done is either put it in S2 for that first acceleration, sport mode, or put it in shift lever in Drive and stay on the brake for 10-15 seconds. Seems to cure it. Seems like it might be...
It's not even an auto start/stop like the non-hybrids. The electric motor can propel the truck without the gas engine on. Auto start/stop systems need to turn the engine on to start moving again so there is some lag. The hybrid system is more immediate especially the power from the electric...
Limited IForcemax here. I get the same lugging shudders when the rpms dip around 1500rpms on hwys, under load, low speed high gear cruising. In the early mornings its the worst for that first two shifts when the fluids are cold. It will shift 1-2, slam into 3 and lug/vibrate. It does this...
The tune I received caused issues with boost cut, so it would throw a check engine light when I was at full boost and it would pull power right away. Very unnerving if you've never experienced it. I've had turbo cars in the past so I knew what it was right away. The OTT tuner tried to correct...
The hybrid motor and torque converter combined with the engine gives off a lot of vibrations. Even Mazda's version of this type of hybrid setup has similar issues. It's probably just due to the design.
