    same here, nothing shows after downloading and installing everything. You should have to do NOTHING other
    than plug em both in, run pcmflash and the dongle code will pop right up. Tried the entire process several times
    on 2 different laptops and using 7 different usb ports.

    I also had this problem, what worked for me is after you download the pcm flash right click on download and press “open in file”. There you will see a lone file, I drug that to my desktop and got it to work. Before this I had to download the pcm flash each time to get the dongle to work. This may or may not work in your case, but now mine works.

    I don't follow, pcmflash is an executable there's only 1 file, the .exe.

    I assume you mean the compressed file that comes down and the exe
    contained within.

    ah, ok makes more sense then, I support a MAC dept as well
    as a windows network so I'd imagine there's an issue, not sure how
    it will be fixed other than sending out new drivers again and then we
    get to wait some more!

    Be sure to disable Windows Defender or whatever other virus detection software you're running whenever you attempt to download or run pcmflash.exe

    Just a follow up on the P0607 code with CEL and TRAC OFF light I had on 1.02C. I reflashed 1.02C and then selected Clear DTC per @OVTune's instructions and all is good so far after 160 miles on the reflash. I found out also that my girlfriend had put 5 gallons of 87 in my gas tank the night prior to getting the CEL. Not sure if this was to blame. I will update if the CEL shows up again.

    Thank you!!! I just had to catch up on 30 pages of posts to get this comparison. :cheers:been running the 91 shift A for awhile... love it and didn't feel like reflashing. What's your load out look like? I'm heavy, on 285/70/17, and 4.56s. Thanks again!!!

    No problem! All stock aside from 265/70R16 Falken A/T3W tires which are only slightly heavier than stock. So, additional weight and larger tires I can only assume would increase the seat of the pants power loss on 87.

    Same - saved me from getting annoyed w/ the loss of power. I don't mind the extra at the pump for the fun of the giddy-up on premium. I am considering testing out Shift C just to see if 1st is a little less abrupt. It's still great in every aspect but I do wonder if I would "miss" the aggressive 1st so long as the shift FROM 4 to 5 and 1 to 2 are still smooth. Would love some more comparisons on this as people test them out. I know one member mentioned it was slower feeling...

    There's some amount of irony in this, but I digress :)

    PUMPED FOR M/T ON THE DYNO TOMORROW!

    Serious question, is the test mule running stock intake/exhaust?

    I hope so, good baseline for most ppl. But alas, we'll take what we can get :thumbsup:

    well if that is the GUY... then his profile says he's got TRD intake/exhaust so should be close "enough" to stock as the intake doesn't do a TON from what we've seen and the exhaust seems to be more sound than massive improvement in flow...
