I have no idea, but I believe it comes blank and then I data log and then they send me the tunes. Really not sure how it will work and with the holidays I don't expect to hear from them until maybe the 27th if not later and I completely understand that.

So can those of you with the 4sp give me your opinions?

 

 

Do not wait, get it done ASAP. Once it is done, you will wonder why you waited so long to do it. Trust me, I was asking the very same questions and have no regrets.

 

I see by reading later posts that you have decided to do it. You will be very happy. Let us know what you think.

Quick details on what happens, justin sends you the efi live data logging tool, you run some logs with your truck as is with all the mods currently on the truck, you send him the files online, he tweaks an pcm, not your own, he sends you the pcm, you instal, run more files to get checked and tweaked, then you opt to keep your original pcm for extra fee or send it back and efi log back. Then done, lol.

It's worth every penny! My tuned ECM is headed to Justin to adjust for my larger tires. I have the factory ECM in there and man does it run like CRAP now! Even with the tuned TCM still in there. It just seems as if the engine is struggling to breathe compared to when the tuned ECM is in place. You'll be glad you went with Blackbear.

Do it, i got a power tuner, it's major fun and you can always use the hand held programmer to tone down when not towing or playing around.

Got my driving log done yesterday, and sent that and the OEM Engine log, but somehow messed up the Tranny log. I tried to read it again and sent him another read, so I am hoping that what I sent the second time was right. I however am not so sure. I'm kind of getting lost.........

      72 C10 headers question

      By mighty K20 · Posted

      FYI, I used sq body headers on my 72 and they were a perfect fit with zero clearance issues with the rods and Z bar for the clutch  I agree with post on worn mount rubber

      I do most of my yard work before 10. My summer walks are usually at Kroger’s. Inside and yes I’ll do light shopping. Usually by noon you don’t want to be outside from June to September. The mail box is a good walk. I’ll walk there about 3 times before the mail comes. My house has two floors if I feel I need to move I’ll do the stairs. I’ll walk down the lane to our rent house with clippers trimming branches along the driveway. There’s always something to do.

      There is a sign at my chiropractors office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Sound advice.    On a 65 degree day (F) I can still work pretty darn hard (I'm 72). On a 85 degree day with a good deal of humidity it takes me three days to do what in took at 65 degree in three hours. If I work to muscle exhaustion (back) it will take me days more to recover. Taking breaks to prevent that is most useful. A lift belt has been very useful in preventing both.    Minister was giving a talk the other night where he was speaking of age and he used a clock to illustrate the human lifespan and it's ability to task. 1 to 45 was the second hand, scurry about. 46 to 70 the minute hand. Slower but...71 and up the hour hand...Hummm....until that talk I felt more like the minute hand. 😭   Then he says, the most useful hand on the clock is the hour hand. Without it you can't tell time. (Hour of the watch). I felt a bit better knowing we over 70 are useful. 🥹

      I still do oil changes on our 2 vehicles and my motorcycle. I have a robot mower for the yard but can't use it in my backyard because my wonderful dog keeps digging the guide wire up so I have to push mow it. Not much of a walker especially during the summer, just to hot. I will ride my e-bike almost daily which helps to keep my knees and hips loose and helps with my balance. That's my story an I'll stick with it. We have been in the mid to high 90's with a feel like temp of 105 to 109 for the last month with no rain. We finally got some rain which cooled it off but were still stuck with the humdity. I do pace myself and that's why it takes me 2 days to do something that used to take a couple of hours.   Peace

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      @newdude great info, thank you!   So opening the thermal bypass valve early (or all the time) would cause temperature to rise more slowly, but above 194F there would be no difference from normal operation?   It seems like the only practical ways to bring down the peak temperature would be to improve the oil-air heat exchanger in some way or increase fluid capacity?
