From what i'm seeing it looks like i'd have to send my PCM off which would mean downtime for the truck. Is this correct? Also wandering what the average turn around is on something like that?

My edit is locked to my PCM thought isn't it? If i get a different one back i wouldn't think my edit would work any more.

I think allen locks the pcm before he sends it to you anyhow, so edit would not work anyway. I think he does it to keep people from stealing his tunes.

That sounds good farmtruc. I doubt i'd be making changes, lol, ur the expert, not me. I don't wanna have it locked, in case i throw a code or something. Hopefully i'll be givin' u a call soon when i get a little money in the hobby fund.

Got my new tune last night. Put it in and drove around with EFI Live hooked up.
I asked for 50% of tranny TM removed(have 100% engine TM removed), so now instead of seeing 27* to 30* of timing through the RPM band, then -10* of timing through the 1-2 shift, I see anywhere from 0* to +7* of timing through the 1-2 shift now.
One thing I did notice is how the timing through the RPM band is aroun 27* to 30*, just as before, but now, right before the shift, it jumps to 35-37*.
I guess that is compensating for the large amount of timing being pulled through the 1-2 shift. That's why now it is 0* to +7*.
It also doesn't do that annoying CKP learn, nor the passkey relearn, I think that PCM was just screwy. I don't know. So yeah, I love this new tune.

Oh yea, one more thing, the e-fans don't come on. I almost **** my pants when I saw the temp. go up to 212...215...I quickly turned on the A/C so that it would trip the fans.
I wasn't sure what was wrong so I went back home and checked all the wiring. It was fine.
I put the original Nelson tune back in, guess what, the fans turned back on.
E-mailed Allen, just waiting to hear if he forgot to turn on the e-fan activation on the PCM. I don't think he did.
