I just adjusted mine last night... it was .42v when checked, and the tag stated .562v. I adjusted it to .560 and it seems to be a little snappier on the throttle... havent driven it yet to check for a mpg difference.

What unit is the TQ Tune for?

For some reason on my truck the ADRCOMP3 tune hits harder than the TQ Tune.

I have to say this torque tune is now the greatest thing for towing my work trailer. What a world of difference. I like it better than the adr 3000 tune. It doesn't hit as hard when I turn it up. But it pull's like a Bad.... Boy

I am so glad I did the APPS adjustment. Fixed the little surging issue as well. On a side note, I loaded the ADRCOMP3 and it smokes less than the ADR2022F did. I am thinking it had something to do with the APPS. I will try the TQ TUNE next.

I really want to do this to my truck due to some driving issues, but I must be mildly retarded because I can't find the screws for the plastic case, and I don't have a volt-meter, but I do believe I can borrow one. My question is does anyone have any pictures of this, or could somebody in my area that has done this help me adjust this? I live in the south east corner of Licking County, just outside of Brownsville. I would go to where they are to do this, and give them something for their time. Thanks for any help.

As far as the voltmeter to do this it can be had for a few dollars from most any store that sells basic tools. Don't need a fancy one by any means.

And the plastic case your referring to I assume is the little cheap throttle cover thing. If so I just ripped it off and haven't had it on the truck in years. It was just in the way and serves no purpose except for looks. With it gone i can work the throttle cable from under the hood when I'm workin on the truck. Not gonna go so far as to tell you that you should do this, just tellin ya what I did with it.

Thanks for this info. It fixed some serious problems and severel issues I didn't even know I had. The directions were very complete, accurate and easy to follow. I am very plesed with the outcome! After reading you're post, I fixed the problem in 30 minutes that I have been chasing for many months.

I have 110 hp injectors and a comp box, bla, bla,bla. Before I had to back down the fueling level and give it throttle slow. Now I can run the comp box all the way up and the truck drives smoother than ever before and respondes to the throttle without hesitation, it just shreds the rear tires.
Greatfully,
Bad Dad
