SuperStock Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I have seen dealers do some un godly things. Break shit un purpose just so they can get paid. I had one by me replace the door actuators for my vents which cuts off air flow under warranty. I go to get my truck back and they now only broke my steering wheel, but the glue that is used to put the dash back together, that was all over my interior. I avoid dealers at all costs for reasons like you experienced and what I went thru, and have seen first hand. uh uh uh that sucks they did that. I'm just glad Art (Wickedowesix) was there to help me diagnose and fix my actual problem and Ray (chpspecial) for the crank re-learn.

zippy Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Good to see the crank learn fixed the missfire problem. I run into that frequently showing a false missfire condition and have seen people spend huge amounts of money to fix what should have been handled in the beginning. I tell every customer that I send a pcm to that they need to do a crank learn. Anytime you change computers, swap your camshaft, change timing chain, or pull the motor apart a crank learn needs to be done. I know my post sounded like me being a dick, but the point I was making is that what you had there didn't sound like it was the fix. Too many people on here read a post like this and will start not only thinking that is the fix for theirs as well, but also start answering other posts as if they know what they are talking about saying x....x....x... is the fix because they read it somewhere else. At one time we had a transmission builder on here giving transmission advice on a daily basis and yet couldn't get his own to hold up in a 14 second truck. Once I seen you had a modified pcm it only seemed logical that a crank learn likely wasn't done. It's a shame your tuner didn't tell you that when you bought the pcm and even more the dealer didn't try that as a fix. Good to see Art and Reynaldo stepped up and helped you out. They are two of the nicer guys on this site with some knowledge to add to the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'99slobird Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I saw this post and couldn't believe the estimate! Even if that was the problem that is a ridiculous price. Glad it worked out for you, great that people on here are willing to help a guy out:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all the reading I did and research about the misfire I never came across the crank relearn, honestly I had no clue what is was prior to Chpspecial helping me. After a few messages and short drive later Ray fixed my "random misfire" with a crank relearn. Now my tuner is no longer my tuner anymore, after countless number of phone calls and emails there has been no real response. Luckily I still have the factory pcm that came with the truck and I am having chpspecial tune it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chpspecial Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 It's a process where the pcm learns the harmonics of the entire engine, if you swap pcms and/or change a camshaft the harmonics change, causing false positives for missfires and knock. This is why a the process should be done after a cam swap or pcm swap Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
