Installed my Black Bear tune...

Freaking awesome... My truck can scoot now.

Idles smoother.

RPM drops when I take it out of gear.

Still has it's random hesitation and power loss... But I bought a TPS for it :lol:

Took out aftermarket fuel tank installed by previous owner that he put under the bed and cut the boards on the bed and steal for the boards to get to the fill nozzle while the fuel gauge stuff on the tank was almost toching metal with a hot wire and a loose ground. Going to install a 40gallon tank in the bed and fix his mistake(on a 63 chevy stepside no dought)

Why buy new when you can restore?

Dennis, when you push in the clutch, did yours idle down quickly or did it hang there? How did the tune change it?

I've read a couple places that if I were to remove my ECM, shake it, and hear something rattle around that it can't figure out the idle or something. Which kind of makes sense. I still need to find vacuum lines. I'm gonna replace the PCV valve while I'm at it (a whole $1.70).

It idled down right away with the clutch... If I pulled it out of gear without the clutch, as in to shift without the clutch, it would take way too long to make it practical...

Justing got it bang on... It holds for about 1/4 - 1/2 second before dropping... Just right in case your going to down shift instead of up shift :thumbs:
