Just Got An '07 And.....

Is everyone with the manual 6 speed tranny experiencing a lot of turbo lag?

Turbo lag

I have felt like mine lags since I got it. Not being experienced with the CTD, did not know what is normal.

I had an 06 and it did seem to have much less lag. They are both g56 trucks with the same ratios (ad) in the transmissions. I have the the same programmer on both trucks. Is it the torque management?

Mine won't spin the tires. Are they suppose to? My gas HEMI would. I was a little disappointed with the CTD actually when I first got it. Once it gets up on spool it's scoots out. I figured with the same HP and more TQ I'd be able to. Guess not.

Good tow rig though.

It just feels like I have to mash the pedal to get it to start spooling. I guess I'm just too used to the ol smarty

They have torque management so if you're giving it alot of power but not going anywhere it controls wheel spin

Slight lag, but tolerable. Like stated earlier, it's part of the torque management system.
