Got home from work and the box, from Jessi, was there. Real busy but had to see what was up. Took my laptop with my scanning software out to the garage with the new PCM. Figured I would have a SEL or security light or something. Changed PCMs. Truck started right up. No codes. Only had time for a short (5mi) ride but here are my observations:

 

I never knew how rough my idle was it is now real smooth.

TM is gone I now control my throttle.

Slight knock at WOT about 4000RPM

Oil life is tied to PCM. Original PCM oil life at 85% new DIC reads 32%.

I was in closed loop but none of the test are complete so I guess it is like a new PCM with no passed memory stored. Have to get some cycles on it before inspection.

My fuel trims are real close to 0 old PCM was running much richer.

 

Very happy. $160 Best bang for the buck (plus I now have an extra PCM)

 

This is a heavy work truck. I didn't order a performance tune.

I ordered:

TM removal 100%.

e fan turned on to operate like factory 05s (Jessie also sent the pigtails)

speedo changed for 265 tires

max lowend torque (I don't ever go fast)

max fuel economy using 87 gas. (I go though about 40 gal a week)

 

I will know more after a week of work and some trailer pulling.

 

(Thanks to Eric for the pcm. BTW Jessie gets USPS shipping for 7.70 somehow)

I'm glad to hear your results on your tune. I can't wait to get mine in here in the next couple days. Glad to hear you like it so far though. Everyone seems to be satisfied with Jesse's tunes.

How the heck does he do that ?!!!? I've been charging $10, been costing me $14 :seeya: So I had to jack it to $15 :loser:

 

He must have tuned the Postmaster :D !!!!!!

Did you email or call Jesse? I figure he is pretty busy. I emailed him a few days ago and haven't got a response yet. I guess I will give him a week then call.

I called (the number is on his website) because I had so many questions. He answered his own phone and was very patient and informative.

Oh... now I know :thumbs:

 

Cuz, unlike me, who digs around for a the right size box, not too big, do my thing and pay $14, Jesse uses the free boxes at the PO... the ones with guaranteed $7.70 shipping for any weight....

 

:D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dumbass :loser:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh well, I stocked up today :D

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
