cares Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I thought all the hype on the reprogrammed PCM was that 'hype'..but.. I just finished the quick 20 minute install and HOLY SMOKES.... it sure does liv'en up' the truck.. This is the most noticable mod I spent money on in a long time. Thanks to all the Forum members who suggested this is a 'must' mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I CORNER Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Bryan Herter's tune on my 1996 Impala SS (close to stock) added at least 30hp over what a Hypertech could do with better mileage, better response, and much improved shifting choices. With the quirks that I have noted in my 2004 SSS (ie. fails to downshift when needed, downshifts when not appropriate, flat spots, and relatively poor mpg), I can't wait to get 1 of his tunes in my truck!

adams2003 Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Sounds great, I just bought a pcm for brian last week. Should be here any day now, cant wait to put it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costabilo Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Sorry I can't help sharing, I installed my PCM today. Very few miles so far, but I have already noticed big improvements. I'm sure it will get even better as it breaks in (it did on my GTP when I got a tuned PCM). I will also say that I would recommend this to everyone, especially with the ability to update with future mods . Well by the end of the week I think it should be the best test when I can see if any MPG and performance increases were significant. Judging by my initial exsperience I think I will be very happy -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodbine Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 ON THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEW PCM HAS ANYONE HAD TO PERFORM THE RELEARN PROGRAM OR DID THE TRUCK START UP ON THE FIRST TRY? I TOO PURCHASED A PCM FROM BRYAN AT PCM FOR LESS, WILL PUT IT IN THIS WEEKEND. THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSminneapolis Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 i had to do the relearn with my last updated PCM. just follow the directions if your truck doesn't start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costabilo Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I believe it is a security feature with the fuel cutout. Once the new pcm was in place it didn't stay started until the procedure was performed. I went with pcmfor less because its a fair price, are a supporting vendor, came recomended, and of course custom tuning is better than any handheld programmer IMO. I don't think there is a whole lot of difference from programmer to programmer for my needs, and people should choose who they want to go with for their own individual reasons. -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
