    Smart man. Don’t make the mistake I did...doesn’t look that “cool” when your paint is all jacked from thrown rocks

    People behind you will appreciate it too

    Mat,

    Thank you for donating to such a great cause. I've had friends die of ALS, and one friend is living with Muscular Dystrophy. This touches me a lot. Thank you Sir!

    Haha
    Stats do not lie
    My favorite thing even as a kid I remember would be to get off the plane in Redmond and the smell of those juniper trees Would hit me
    I love it
    Then I remember coming home and the first thing you here after you get out of the airport are people screaming cursing and beeping at each other “welcome home “
    Everyone is so nice out west

    Yes as soon as we have all the files prepared, and we will let everyone know when that is by public update.



    ECU IDs: 04B02 and 04B03 Performance and GearLock Tunes are released by Flash Manager.
    - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REDOWNLOAD ANYTHING.
    SIMPLY GO TO : HELP > UPDATE in FLASH MANAGER MENU


    If anyone has any issues please let me know by ZENDESK FIRST!



    Thank you everyone! We are very happy to give this donation to MDA.ORG
    Appreciate it everyone.

    Sorry if this is a duplicate post. The image I included on the first post was huge, and it seemed easier to just delete the post than to try to fix the image.

    I've used both 87 and 91 base. My truck is completely stock except for a Leer cap with Thule rack bars. 91 base is significantly better than 87 base: smoother acceleration, more low end power, quieter engine, less shifting, and better mileage. I'm a cheap bastard, so I normally refuse to buy premium gas; however, the performance and drivability difference is enough than I've decided it's worth it.

    Oh yeah, I just took a trip down to the New in WV with a whitewater boat up top, and the truck got $%^&ing 24.5 mpg. This was a route with steep mountain back roads as well as hilly 75mph interstate sections. Before this, the best mileage I ever saw in my truck (on 87 base) was 23.5, and that was on a trip to Columbus (flat basically) with the roof rack removed, so I'm sold on the 91 tune.

    I know I am late to the 1.05. I own a purple dongle. Do I need to re-register the software again? i.e. emailing the sytem ID, name and order number to Matt.

    thanks. Can you confirm with purple dongle do I use PCM Flash Utility to flash or P5 flash utility for flashing the tune?

    pcmflash

    Now that all ECU version are available for download,
    April will focus on some internal fixes (like 04B30), development of what's coming later this year.

    Also Rafael is in the hospital at the moment, so we will catch up with everything as quickly as possible.

    Several orders will ship next week, but recent ones are still on back-order list.

    Thanks everyone. I'll be mostly unavailable on the forum through April.

    The updated software is just kicking my butt.
    I ran PCMflash and it brought up this screen asking me if I want to download an updated version.

    Capture2.jpg


    If I say yes because it seems like the right thing to do, it took me to this other foreign website which i have no idea what's going on.

    Capture1.jpg


    If I say don't download, then it took me back to an old PCMflash software that I have been using. Is this what I want? I am so confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Bitchin’! Thanks for the honest review. Nothing wrong with being budget minded. I hope to retire early too :thumbsup:
