**RELEARN PROCESS: Any time you reflash your TCM, we strongly recommend relearning the trans before you turn the power up, drive it aggressively, and/or tow heavy with the truck. The following guidelines will assist in properly relearning your transmission to optimize the benefits/results of our transmission calibrations. After flashing, keep the throttle below 50% on a mild tune and go through as many 1-6 and 6-1 shifts for at least 100 miles (the more the better). Then gradually increase throttle application along with the tune level up.**
