When climbing hills torque management likes to kick in and cause the trans to shift erratically between gears because it's fighting to go up hill. For example taking off and climbing a large hill it will go first second first second back and forth because it gets between rpms. There's a certain rpm where it will think oh I need to shift and that can be halfway up the hill. It's hard to explain but if you rode with and heard it you'd know. It's not like these older chevys like my friends have that will just blast up the hill in one gear. Torque management is supposed to keep you from breaking the tires loose but it's a bitch to drive with on sand because of the amount of power it takes to go anywhere on hills. sent from my truck in a field

Time for a tune to take that tm away!

 

On another note does anyone know if you van get a chevy center cap for the new 2014GMC all terrain 20" wheels?

My son decided to take a sanding block to the side of my wife's van. Yesterday the neighbor ran his bike into the back of it. Polishing won't take it out. Have it less noticeable thought

 

Sick to my stomach, before pics

I suspect if he got the truck or Camaro we might see him in the classified section. :lol:

Ryan, I just got out worse off on the Mazda a few weeks ago, I rubbed it by hand out the some rubbing compound, then hit it with the a random orbital with the 3 Meguiars ultimates: compound, polish, and wax, along with Meguiars sof buff red, yellow, and black pads respectively( the color of cars on the bottles match which pad to use if you forget which is which). My car is black and you can tell up close( like a few inches away ) something isn't quite right(the clear coat is more refined) but a few feet away and it isn't noticeable. My wife hasn't noticed which spot it was
