Well guys I traded off my 2007 Sierra so now I have an autocal thats only a few months old that I no longer have a use for. I am asking $475 plus shippingThat price is with it ready to go just like a brand new never used unit. The only difference is it will only have 7 tuning slots vs 8. That is per Justin from blackbearperformance. I welcome any of you to email him and verify this info. So to state again this unit will be ready to tune with no more additional money having to be paid to blackbear.

 

Thanks,

Matt

If Justin would retune it for me for free I might be interested. You should get the specifics on how he would handle that. See if he will chime in on it.

This is correct, the seller is essentially buying the tune for the buyer.

 

When the unit is purchased, it will be ready to go for the buyer.

I really want one of these. I just need to sell some tires I have laying around. I thought I had a buyer lined out this morning but they bailed on me. Ive got $200, now I just need to find the other $275. Hopefully I can scrape it up before someone else does.

 

PS. Why only 7 slots? Just curious.

The AutoCals come with 8 slots available. Since he had his truck tuned with it, one of the slots is taken up.

 

Will this work for a 2010 5.3 ?

 

Yep.

So, the original tune for his truck cant be erased or overwritten? How does this affect the number of tunes I can put on it for my truck? I know the standard is 4 with 4 updates right?

Four different tune files, four out of process tune updates or any combination of the two available at no additional cost.

 

This is from your AutoCal page on your web site. Not totally getting what it means. Can you explain it a little more please.

 

 

And as I understand, there is no need to buy addition licenses for other vehicles?

 

 

The AutoCal initially has licensing and tuning for one vehicle only. We will provide up to four tune files for that vehicle or four tune updates for modifications or any combination of the two. Tunes for additional vehicles do not fall into this category and will require new tune purchase, but may use the same device.

 

The departure from our entirely free re-tune policy is a necessity due to the significantly increased availability of updates. We need to ensure that our update policy is not abused which would ultimately yield a slower response and turnaround for all customers. Any updates outside of the specified allowance would have a nominal fee ($15-30). We reserve the right to modify that policy as we see fit and will notify all affected parties. For instance, we may alter it to allow unlimited free updates but limit the frequency that such updates may be received so as to reduce the impact on all other customers.

 

 

My last post was deleted but was writen with reference to this statement a few months ago. I understood it as only one vehicle could have the autocal linked to it at a time. unless you purchase a new license.

 

If Justin is saying this one is clear for purchase great I am interested. Please confirm. Thanks

This unit is clear for purchase and use on another vehicle, according to Jenna.

 

It will then be all yours. :lol:

 

Start the negotiations. :D

Each AutoCal can tune up to 8 vehicles, but you have to purchase the additional licenses and tunes for anything beyond the initial one. Since the seller already tuned his vehicle, one of the 8 slots is taken up, but he is purchasing the license and tune for the buyer.

Just to be clear, the Autocal acts as a mini storage device that can upload and read programs from your ECM and TCM. You can swap tune files to and from the Autocal at will with a computer. But it has limited internal memory. You can potentially store thousands of tunes on your home computer. But you can only store 4 at a time on the Autocal. Only 3 Tunes can be stored if you have a 6 speed due to the tune file size.

      OCI, not when but why?

      It really doesn’t matter to me. Making a blanket statement that can be refuted will be. As I pointed out the information is out there. Hey google.

      My area is one of the most affluent areas in Texas. And yet affordable housing is close by. My family business pays top wages and turnover is very low. You can’t but people in a box if you want to succeed the opportunity is there.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      It was previously working, but the continually running compressor threw me for a loop. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that a 26 year old AC system had lost some of its charge and could be exhibiting low charge indicators, so I thought I had it licked. Add some refrigerant to get the low and high pressures in range like on the old 134 systems.   I learned the continuously running compressor is normal, and that I need to know how much is in the system, as well as needing to meter what goes in. I'm only used to working on older R134a and R12 systems that aren't variable displacement. This is how we learn...LOL.   Long story short, I had a 20% off coupon for a new Jiffy Lube that opened nearby. I took it up there yesterday and they did an evac/recharge using their brand new machine from Mahle. Had a good conversation with the guy, they loved the car and I was out of there for $159 plus tax. Digitally measured charge, exactly 1.5lb of refrigerant went in.

      OCI, not when but why?

      In most areas of the country, wages have trailed CPI increases over time (let's say, since the 70's) and things like housing, energy, and food have vastly outpaced wages on the whole. Can't ignore that, it's very real.   That isn't to say there aren't ways to live in ways that mitigate some of that, including moving to cheaper areas of the country. In KNut's neck of the world, median housing prices in "nearby" Dallas are more like $500k. If you're raising a family and young in a successful career, your economic opportunities are probably going to be better living closer to Dallas than Cornhole. A 3 hour (6+ round trip) daily commute probably isn't tolerable for most folks. Grumpy mentioned economic migration; but we've seen what happens when people populate and grow an area. It becomes more expensive when economic opportunities come to roost.   One thing different now from back in the 70's is our quality and standard of living has changed. Healthcare is light years better, for example. But it's also much more expensive. And we have communication and information/tech tools that folks in the 70's could never imagine, and they're accessible to people of just about all incomes. Cars are light years safer, faster, and filled with tech advances. Homes are larger, more energy-efficient, and more luxurious on the whole, from starter homes to luxury homes.   Seattle was once affordable. My folks came here in the 70's with a lot of other people from California looking to escape uncontrolled sprawl, smog, and rising prices in the Bay Area. Seattle and the surrounding area has grown considerably; The home they bought for, I think it was $70k or $80k in the late 70's is now worth $1.2M today. The same house.   So while there have been obvious boosts in some areas of quality and standard of living, regarding opportunity, that's a bit more nuanced. It's really not possible for young people to get started in similar situations in areas of the country that have become "HCOL" (high cost of living). There are many more areas than before, which is to say they exclude younger workers or make their lives significantly harder. They have to commute farther and longer to afford to live in the area. They have to take outsized risk, take on more debt, significantly delay family planning. Or, they could move somewhere cheaper, but there's usually a loss of economic opportunity that comes with that. Even for the same job, it may pay a lot less in a LCOL.   What I don't like are Boomers with phones thinking they have all the answers and outright saying that if people stopped paying for their cell phone that they'd be rich. It's as stupid and misguided as people who think they'd only be rich if taxes weren't so high. Sorry guys, Elon proved you wrong on that one, I guess you're just lazy and blaming your own situation for the reason you're not wealthy. Mobile communication is basically an expectation in a modern society and workforce and it's often cheaper than having a copper landline these days, so... What's your point?

      Ac not keeping up

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      My 2008 started exhibiting similar symptoms, wasn't 'cold' enough. I went through a pretty extensive diagnostic process for a DIY'er with limited OBD access. System evacuation and recharge included.   Noticed one day the passenger side was cold (I'm never over there so took awhile to notice).   Pulled the drivers side blend door actuator out, disassembled it and cleaned it out. Put it back in and did some kind of reset and it fixed the problem.   Long story short, it wasn't the A/C system at fault, the blend door wasn't moving to full cold position.
