ECU Tuning

Post by paintballrocker »

How many of you retuned/reflashed you ECU after putting on 33's. My truck seems to "search" for a gear while on the hihgway.

Most used a programmer to correct the speedometer. Adjusting the shift point helped mine too. I know that it is only designed for WOT, but I did have success.

The Corvette servo, billet fourth and longer pin are another thing that I and a couple others did.

I also added a switch to unlock the converter. That would bump the RPM a few hundred on a long hill.

Would that be doable with the blazer tail gate switch? :idea:

Yes, however to keep things short and simple I put it in the knee bolster. That is closest to the switch and wire to be tapped.
