It's not heaven . . . it's Iowa!
I really think you'd be the perfect candidate for AutoCal then. Justin can send you tunes from anywhere on earth. You could put a different tune on every day if you wanted :)

You only get four out of service tunes with the Autocal for the time being. It makes sense why though.

I had an EFI Live tune and it's never been right from the start, and I'm tired of taking 90 minutes trips to ECS to have it done. I have 35" tires, 4.88 gears so Justin would have to be 100% certain he could tune my truck and not have warning lights light up on my dash.

I just lost me entire EFI live tune because the dealer replaced my PCM out of warranty claiming it had an internal short.

The ABS/SES lights pop up due to the gears/tires being out of range of OEM. It is a crap shoot as to whether or not the tune will take care of it, as a lot lies within the eBCM. If your previous tuner was able to turn those lights off for you (provided they didn't just disable in the tune), then it shouldn't be a problem.

Previously, the SES light dod NOT come on It was the Emergency Parking Brake light and the ABS light. They would both come on after I drove for around a mile.

It took the guys at east coast supercharging almost 3 years and about 6 trips to get rid of the lights. They never came on for the next 4 or so months, had my transfer case replaced, and they came on a few days later. So not sure it was attributed to the tune, wouldn't seem like it would be. :dunno:

You betcha
Just get an autocal and be done with this madness. I'm only using 2 tunes for my autocal, but he's spent a ridiculous amount of time just perfecting my ECM tune due to my crazy mods. I would not get anywhere near this service with a different tuner. I probably drive the guy nuts.

Def going to do it, thanks everyone. Just hope Justin can tune it so no lights come on. It's a matter of getting the tire size to gear ratio just right. I'm sure he can figure it out. It's actually a good thing I have a brand new PCM, now I can start from scratch.

Just sucks now that my speedo is off, at around 60mph it's nearly 25mph off.

If it can be done, Justin will get it done.
