Looking at my invoice it says: Recall 16007 Sensing and Diagnostic Module reprogramming. It seems to me like it would safe to reload my ECM and TCM tune. Right?

I had the recall done today and I am pretty sure I lost my tune. The throttle feels much less sensitive was the first clue. Can I re-flash using my Autocal, or does that negate the point of having the recall done in the first place? Is there an update tune that incorporates the recall?

I've been researching this some (because I'm a nerd). What they are saying is theoretically true. GM uses a hashing algorithm to compute a checksum of the tune. The hashing function they use is most likely a 32 bit key space which is over 4 billion values, but with a big enough input size, eventually all hashing algorithms will have duplicate keys. What that means is that it's possible to have 2 different tune files hash to the same key, and thus not be detectable by the version checker. However, it's not a simple thing to construct 2 inputs that hash to the same key, and it still has to be a valid tune file that does what you want. I'm not sure how big the image actually is, but I'm pretty sure it's less than 4GB, which makes it a lot less likely. So, long story short, I'm skeptical that it can be done. Here is a link to the patent if anyone wants get nerdy. http://www.google.com/patents/US20120245788

Drove down to Houston and back for some tuning via Blackbear. Set a new record on the way and just barely beat it on the way back.

Speaking of 1911's for carrying, I got one of these on the way.

Howdy neighbor, I've shot there 100's of times. That's pretty good for 15 yards, most people have a hard time just keeping 'em on paper at that distance.

I have tried to own at least one of everything. I had an M&P 40 and an M&P Pro in 40. I got frustrated with the trigger and sold them. I bought my Wilson Combat CQB used. Saved a good chunk of money and no waiting. Very nice guns.

If it wasn't for hype, bankruptcy laws, government contracts, and illegal arms sales, HK would have gone out of business already, but they're pretty close last I heard. I agree though, the Glock Perfection thing is BS. I own at least 12 of them, so I would know.

They're actually pretty good guns, just seems like marketing department got too involved with the design.

I hate Springfield's update to the XD. I would never buy anything with the words Grip Zone emblazoned on the side of it, unless it was a baseball bat. This here is the Trigger Zone, and that's the Slide Zone, the mags go in the Magazine Zone, and the bullets go out the Bullet Zone.

Unplug it.

I just finished reading 49 pages of this. Not to beat a dead horse, but about this CVN thing ... If you know which algorithm that GM is using to compute the checksum of the file, then it's definitely possible to construct an image that will compute to the same checksum. So if all GM is doing is comparing the checksum of the old and new image, then I can believe that you can flash the ECM without it being detectable. They would need to use a signature algorithm like MD5 to really catch this, or even better (from a security viewpoint) signed binaries.

Installed mine today.

Alright, y'all talked me into this skid plate package. eBay gave me a $20 off coupon too.

I love having a clutch for doing fun stuff, but I will only buy automatic for daily drivers from now on.

My wife made me turn the bass down because it was too loud.

Still getting broke in. I put 93 in on the second fill up and gained 2 MPG. May or may not be the cause.

FNG here.
