Re: what do i do with the torque management? Nutshell: Tq management retards timing (I believe) when torque spikes to a crazy number. I.E. during a WOT shift that tries to break the tires loose.
Different people will say different things about it. Some reccommend setting it to a higher number, so its not eliminated, just takes more to hit it. And some will tell you to ditch it alltogether.
I would personally kill it, and re-enable it during rain/snowy times, but thats just me.

Re: what do i do with the torque management? I wouldn't kill it all togeter if you got a stock tranny. If you have some tranny work done though, kill it.
It does just what glitch said. It pulls timing during the shift to keep the engine from burning up the tranny.

Re: what do i do with the torque management? I dynoed my truck with and without TM and the dyno charts really showed where TM kicks in. Without TM, just before a shift, at WOT, the hp/tq spikes up crazy high and then the truck shifts. WITH TM the hp drops like 9+ hp, instead of spiking high and then shifts.
I have a dyno chart at the link showing these spikes. The red graph lines are without the TM. Oh yea I was using the Diablo tuner to remove TM.
