It started in '98. '95 and older don't have TQ management at all -
Hydraulic controlled transmissions...not electronic. 96 and 97 are "bastard
years" as they share some of the same components but are "trial and error"
years (yes...that's what we call them at the shop).

Subject: RE: DML: Torque management-4.7l auto
I was actually thinking more along the lines of is there really a torque
management program in the PCM for the older engines. Maybe some one
(Bernd) out there knows. I didn't think there was that much communication
going on between the trany and the PCM on the 3.9 & 5.9 engines.
I know the 3.7 and 4.7 have the newer computer controlled trany but thought
the older trany was based off older designs.
Some one edumicate me on this one.
