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.

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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
