I just installed my P3 into my '11 following some great instructions. They're a bit hard to find, so here's the link:

The only difference I found during my install & the instructions is that the red/black wire from under the master cylinder & the 40 amp fuse were already installed from the factory.

I agree, pics, or this thread is just freakin' stupid.

I guess you guys will have to call me stupid. I didn't have the proper screws to mount it towards the center of the dash. Right now it's more or less between the bottom of the steering column & above the accelerator. IMO it's not as accessible as I would like.

 

When I move it to the proper position, I'll post pics.

I just did the same install today. Those instructions are wonderful. The only question I have is, does it stay on all the time, or does it have a power save feature?

There is a power save feature. It'll shut off after about 15 minutes.

I mounted my P3 just to the right of the steering column, almost under the ashtray. I also unplug the contoller and keep it under the jump seat when not in use. Figure out of sight, out of mind of thieves...

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.

Video Platforms: She has contributed to PragerU, where she has hosted videos critiquing government mandates on vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Core Positions Anti-EV Mandates & Fuel Policies: Fix regularly critiques government subsidies and mandates for electric vehicles (EVs), framing them as impractical and burdensome to the average consumer. She advocates for consumer choice and supports traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Economic Analysis: Her commentary often emphasizes the impacts of fuel prices, inflation, and federal regulations on drivers. [1, 2, 3] Political Alignment: On her public channels, she actively supports deregulation, "drill baby drill" energy policies, and the removal of government restrictions on auto sales and manufacturing.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Wouldn't swapping out the original AFM/DFM parts for a complete Delete Kit be the best route to go if one could afford to go that route?

      It comes with directions but yes, generally, it's the same.  Also, get you the dipstick stuff to install dipstick so you have one.
