TRANSMISSION TUNING
This feature is controllable only within the on-the-fly menu, after the on-the-fly programming has been down-
loaded. The downloader offers 3 different transmission tuning options to facilitate added horsepower
and to make the driving experience more enjoyable. The descriptions below offer our recommendations
of use with each of the three different options. Once a download has been entered, these transmission
tunes are adjustable on-the-fly.
•Aggressive: For quick and firm shifts. This application will benefit those who use their pickups for drag
racing and competition pulling. The firmness and quickness of shifts will increase significantly over stock.
This application works well with high performance aftermarket transmissions. We do not recommend that
this application be used while towing.
•Smooth: Enjoy the feel of a shift that is smoother than stock.This application is perfect for the non-aggres-
sive every day driver or those who tow on a regular basis. This application is most effective when used with
our power settings set from 50 to 80.
•Stock: As more horsepower is added to a normal shifting stock transmission, the internal components break
down faster.We do not recommend using the stock shifting application with any of the power settings above 50
additional horsepower.

OPERATING FUNCTIONS
ADJUSTING POWER ON THE FLY
IMPORTANT: The information on this page is applicable to all vehicles. Note: selecting the stock power level in the on the
fly screen does not return the vehicle to factory stock; this will only instruct the vehicle to operate at a stock power level.
To return to stock the program must be removed from the vehicle through the download process.
Once the Triple Dog completes the download it will display the “On-the-fly” screen where you
will choose your power setting. At this point it is OK to turn the vehicle on and drive it while you
adjust your power. To get to the on-the-fly screen simply plug the downloader into the OBDII
screen and the on-the-fly screen is the first screen to appear.
The available power settings are
Stock, Tow, Performance, and Ex-
treme (Our Crazy Larry programs are
available through an Internet Up-
grade). Use the up/down arrows to
scroll through the power programs
and press “Y” to select a power
program. Notice after you select a
power program that the downloader
remains at the On-the-fly screen, so
that you can again adjust the power
if needed. If you have selected the
download you want, you can unplug
the downloader, put it away and you
do not at any point have to turn off
the vehicle. Then, any time during a
drive you can simply plug the down-
loader back in and adjust on-the-fly.
