Has anyone else noticed this? When I start the Dak first thing in the
morning it seem sluggish to take off. Just happens when its been parked
overnight. Runs fine in about 30 seconds.

I tried to email hypertech and all the emails bounce back bitching about the
domain not existing?
I'd sure love to see some way to change the characteristics of the shifting
on this thing provided it did not hurt the transmission. We need to keep
tabs on this as I am sure I'm not the only 4.7L auto Trans owner who would
not mind tweaking this thing a little.
