Straw that broke the camels back...Time for a tune!

[Mark20]

I drove a 2 before getting the tune in mine. To me, the 2 felt like the extra "umph" that's there when they shift in the mornings when the truck and the outside temps are super cold. I didn't get the 2.

Exactly what I've been feeling these recent mornings.

Awesome, thanks for the comparison because now I know exactly what you are talking about. I dont know that I'd want a shift firmness #2 if thats what its like. I do a fair share of city driving and that would get annoying. #1 it is!

As I have been reading for the last few days, everyone seems very pleased with the tune. A few have even talked about an increase in mpg's. I am wondering if any of you have any real data on your increase? My envoy is a family hauler, so I am not needing the performance (although it sounds like a lot of fun), but we do drive between 18-19,000 miles a year - most of that would be interstate. I am just wondering if anyone has seen the 1-3 mpg increase that they claim to get from pcmforless? Thanks.

PLEASE, JACK STANDS AND CHOCKS WHEN UNDER A RAISED VEHICLE.

Lost a friend years ago when his car fell off the jack and crushed him a week before retirement.

Same thing happened to a kid way back in highschool in the 80's. Oil change with a bumper jack and he was crushed.

well you wont notice the mpg increase right away but after a few tanks you will!i went to florida and thats 1500 miles and i only spent less than $300 on gas wich added up to like 21 plus miles a gallon and cruising at 75 mph!with the tune!

Do you know what you were getting before the tune? I average between 18-21mpg on road trips with the cruise set at 70mph. As I mentioned earlier, we drive this envoy alot and a 1mpg increase would cover the cost in year, a 2-3mpg increase would more than pay for itself (and is what i am hoping for), especially if the price of gas sails north of $4 this summer. Thanks.

get that tune ASAP Im changing mine over to PCM as well my local guy is good but hes more of a snake tuner big Viper And Cobra guy hes alright with the LS

Ok I didnt see this the other day, but I LMAO'd for about a good 5 minutes after seeing this post/video and just want to tell you that youre a total dickcheese for making me feel like a total weenie

I ordered the tune!! I went with shift firmness #1, 87 octane, delete fan codes so IF my fan clutch ever goes bad (original replaced under warranty at 48k miles now at 153k) then I can go e-fan or at least the new non-electro visc clutch, I also chose CAI - I think Im going to make that DIY one or at the very least, buy a used volant one!

Oh I did the loaner program. How long until I get my loaner PCM? Im really really excited now :wootwoot:

I predict you will get the loaner PCM when the delivery driver shows up at your door.

You know, I lay in bed watching a George Carlin live rerun and thinking about the tune...

Was I supposed to mention somewhere on my order sheet that I wanted the torque management removed or is that something that pcm4less does automatically when tuning our pcms?

I dont tow much anymore and if I do its probably less than 1500lbs, maybe 1x a year. Is that worth mentioning?

 

[marshall@pcm]

We remove more of it if you don't tow.

This vette servo looks hard to install anybody got pics? Very interested in this...

The tune is in the future for me for sure.
