I recently installed a custom Programmed PCM in my truck. I noticed a difference in the idle immediately. 1-2 hundred RPM higher. The truck shifts at a much higher rpm. I took it for a run and throttle response and seat of the pants feel is dramatically different. It seems to be fast!! I believe that much of the available torque has been freed up. I am very happy with this mod. It was very cheap as well. The turn around time was excellent on the order. I had mine in less than a week from the time I ordered it. I emailed them several times and they replied within several hours every time. Overall experience is very good!! :mad:

That's great to hear!

 

I wanted to get one for my truck, but since I live in Canada, they don't want to deal with me. :mad:

Thats a bummer!!! What if you sent it to someone in the states and they sent it from their U.S address? Or order a whole new PCM, have it sent to someone in the states, and back to you!

I wanted to buy a whole new PCM instead of sending mine in.

They won't ship with USPS, just UPS, which would cost me a fortune (see other thread regarding UPS).

Perhaps if I can convince them to send it to me via USPS. It would be slower, but hey, no big deal waiting a couple of weeks. Since it would be a new PCM, I would still have use of my truck.

hmmm.....

:mad: Sounds like a good plan, if you have any problems let me know, i'd like to see how that works out. And if you do need someone to mediate the shipping, let me know also, I'd be glad to help you out!

I sent them an email asking if they'll ship a new tuned PCM to me via USPS.

I'll let you all know what they say.

When I ordered mine from them they told me that all they ship is USPS. It was only $7.70 to ship it one way. I ordered my tune from him and didn't send in my PCM. Within a week I got my new pcm in a USPS box. The USPS has several boxes that are prepriced for all weights.

Just got an email back from wait4me, they'll ship to me via USPS.

So....I'm ordering a tuned PCM.

Looking forward to it! :D

Okay, when it comes to PCM's and VCM's and computers in general i'm a bit naive, can someone please enlighten me as to the location and removal/installation procedure for the PCM on a 96 chevy 5.0! :cheers:

Hey pwall,

 

Why don't you get a Wester's Tune? They are rated as one of the best and they are located in Alberta.

Do you have their web address?

I found a website, but they seem to be based in Texas, so most likely not the same Westers.

Update:

wait4me will send me a PCM via USPS...it'll take a little longer, but I'm in no rush. Approximate cost $158 US plus shipping.

 

Westers (which resides in Canada) wants over $495! :banghead:

 

So, I'll be ordering from wait4me.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
