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.

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

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.MichEnvoyGuy said:

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?
