Quick question

[buckshot85]

Do I have to send my ECM/PCM in before my tune? Or can I give it to yall at the time of the meet?

Tunes are done on site. Justin is a tune wizard.

Yea I'm excited about it but, nervous lol. I've never messed with my ECM before. I just have to see if my local GM place will do my Relearn or if they can or not. I know they mail us the new ones ahead of time.

If yOu do the remote tune, you can do the relearn with a laptop. If Justin does it in person he'll take care of that.

I dId mine in the garage in a mater of a few minutes.

You'll be happy!

What's this "relearn"? And which software is required for that?

So All I really need to do is show up. I was just looking at the site and it was saying they would send out the units ahead of time so we could do the security recrank. I didn't know if I drove to the meet with it in or what. lol I just made my deposit I'm sure I will get some info from him as well. I just dont want my DD to not go lmao

When I got my Sierra done the process went like this:

Paid and put my deposit down towards the tune. They sent me a new ECM (engine) and TCM (transmission) with instruction on how to do the security relearn. Did the security relearn and then a while later drove to the meet. When I got to the meet Justin asked a few questions, did the crank relearn and we drove around a bit while he tinkered with some more stuff. I kept both sets of computers so I could throw my stock ones back in if I needed to go to the dealership to retain the 5yr/100k warranty.

My dad got a data logging tune that just required driving around with my laptop and then e-mailing the data to Justin. He then sent new modules down to put in the truck and the software used for the data logging can also perform the crank relearn.

They include all the instruction that you might need

Also, FYI: if you have the 6 speed auto the TCM is in the tranny and can't be swapped out but if you do an in-person tune he'll just reprogram that one.

A good tune, such as Black Bear is the best money that can be spent on a GM.

I am still irritated that I didn't get to meet up with you after you drove all the way to Wichita and I was busy with work

Thanks for the info Matt. I was worried about driving around with the new ECM. So you dont need to do the crank relearn till the tunes I assume?

 

[daddy]

I don't think you need to do the relearn at all if you are doing the live tune. I believe the relearn is only sometimes needed when you swap in a new ECM.
