Re: Overdrive downshift,, can it be delayed???

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN!!!!!!

pisses me off when it does that,,, feel like I just shot 1/2 gallon of fuel out the pipe every time.

I think it has more to do with the cruise control loosing MPH and doing what it has to, to make it up. I was watching the speedo needle and once it drops more than a needle width VVRROOOOMMMMM there goes the tach and that 1/2 gallon of $2 fuel.

I just thought there might be a way to block that signal to the tranny or at least re-set it so it would allow more MPH drop
