It's definitely something I have to get used to again. I understand having to stay in the powerband, which is why the computer shifts around. I'm okay with it.
Like I tried to convey, I have read, as I am sure some of you have as well, dislike and disdain for the Chevy 6.0 and I was really trying to get to the bottom of it. The fact that a lot of you have spoken up in defense of it is amazing and well received. I hardly seem to read posts about people who were actually happy or satisfied with it. Makes me think that what I'm asking my Sub to do isn't too out of line.
