    If we eliminate the stock Engine ECM that probably is the one that controls the transmission, we need a separate transmission controller, like for example USshift sales for the FORD auto transmissions.

    I have never heard of anything like that and you can't just eliminate the ECM.

    I mean...someone was going to post it eventually...:p If you want to change how the transmission shifts, et al. You're going to have to wait until one of the tuners cracks the ECU/TCU.

    Thanks for all of the input.

    Please if someone understands what I asked and care to answer it will be appreciated:

    Question #1: What is the 2021 Tundra 5.7L Transmission code?
    Question #2: If this one has been already been used by earlier models or platforms, maybe someone knows of a transmission controller for it?

    1) AB60E/F
    2) Nope. Tuner.

    Awesome, thank you, my doubt started with this code as it is in the Tundra since 2007 and using Google I saw many other newer models like the A760E/F and thought it should be one of the newer versions...

    AB60E = 2WD, AB60F = 4WD

    A760E/F is for the 4.6L. Not necessarily a newer transmission (except in the Tundra). Probably the same transmission used for the Lexus application.

    If you have a Tundra, the transmission code is on one of the stickers on the driver side door jamb. I believe it's on the white sticker, down along the bottom edge.

    Correct E=2WD and F=4WD and thanks for the clarification on the "newer" codes, I will use AB60E or F for our controller quest, thank you!

    The transmission is controlled by the ECM. There is no tuning capabilities/nothing available to modify any of the software components of the ECM 2021 trucks.
