mjhpadi Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I was thinking the same thing, but I hate to bother Rick with this small matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Just when I thought we had this all figured out! Oh well good news is if mine showed up right after my 4+ install maybe I don't have to feel like a doofus for not noticing it for all these miles. That does not explain BPD who had it from day one. Wonder if Rick has any thought on the subject? Ha! Not to throw a monkey wrench into the equation..... However, knowing I did say "since day one"...... That's probably not THE most accurate. I would say (trying to think back) that I discovered this nifty little icon around 1,800 miles on the clock. However, my car was already tuned at that point as I didn't wait long to begin modding my SHO. Hell, I tinted my windows on day 3 of ownership. I did have a different vendor's tune, and didn't load up LMS tunes until about 3K on the clock. So umm, yea............... there 'ya go....... monkey wrench tossed. Go feast on that for a while, hahaha. :sorry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Nope' date=' I have the 4+ installed and have had it installed for quite some time...still no icon. Did you have the tranny TSB performed on your car?[/quote'] Mark what 4+ tune are you running? The 4+ tune with the higher fan settings, I don't get the grade assist icon. However I do with 4+ with stock fan settings. And my car is a 2011, and never had this feature when stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Not sure which tune it is, since it was sent to me shortly after it beccame available I would guess it has the stock fan settings but I don't know that for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhenne4 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 bpd, what you are saying is that rick is now doing all 4+ tunes with the increased fan settings? i got my tune a little over/under a month ago and im interested to know if i got the upgraded fan settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not necessarily an upgrade. I actually asked for it last year when I noticed it ran hot. Since swapped out radiators for Torries and put in a lower temp tstat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got5onIt Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yea I knew about that mode. I was talking about this "sport" M mode for the tranny for apparently non PP cars. Yea I don't use my flappy paddles due to the rev limiter being removed. Side-note: Also I've noticed that if you are above 35 mph you can't put it in sport mode on the PP. Under 35 while in motion the car will go into sport. When I read this post I was a little surprised since I thought only the top end speed limiter was removed with the various LMS stage tunes. I contacted Rick and he stated only the speed limiter is removed. The rev limiter gets a slight increase, but is still intact... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I have for sure is that I do have 2 new coats of wax after today. Just finished adding the second coat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autoroids Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 If supposedly some people have it and some don't, the easiest way to find out i would imagine is by the strategy code in your car. maybe the folks that have this option also have the same PCM strategy...

Livernois Motorsports Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 As Mike said, this is totally normal. The car going down the hill is normal. From what I understand, YES. Perhaps shoot Rick (from LMS) a PM for ultimate verification though :yo: All of the stage 4+ tunes have the fan on more than the stage 2 & 3 tunes. Also, we don't remove the rev limiter in any of the modes. -Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I cannot wait until I get my Livernois tune. ^^ Also, Rick, I don't mean to post off topic, but can you take a look at my idle question thread - it seems like you are the man who would know if I can do what I want on this. http://www.ecoboostownerforums.com/showthread.php?534-Idle-adjustment-possible-without-a-tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrylu Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Ok back to the original topic. I came across a '10 SHO on the lot at my dealership the other day when I picked up my '13 fender vents. They let me start it up so I could check for the mystery "Grade Assist" car going down hill icon. Guess what ..... it wasn't there. The build date on this SHO is 02/10. Of course I'm assuming it didn't have a tune, but I think that is a safe bet. It just came in off of a corporate lease. I'm thinking stage 4+ is at least a factor here. Hey the grade assist addition is a really fine little side benefit, if you have it. I don't think I had it pre tune and now I do. Just my luck I guess. Some others with 4+ don't . It would be nice to know why some do and some don't. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drthv8r Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I have the Stage 4+ tune on mine, it's an 09/09 build. There's no icon on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
