Good day all.
As some know, I have capability to tune and reflash OBDII vehicles via TunerCat II.
Services I'm willing to offer are changing your PCM VIN to the correct one and turning off your security system.
I'm working to find the abs in the PCM to turn it off, but am currently unable to do it in the program.
There is no cost to my labor (thus no cost to you) nor intent to ever recover any of my costs for the software/hardware purchase. I bought it for my own use and education and am willing to share it, au gratis.
Don't ask me to give you the program, it's proprietary and I don't own the rights. Giving it to you is piracy.
Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars compadre. I won't be a part of that in any way, shape or form.
You also need proprietary hardware to use it so it wouldn't be any good to you if I did anyways.
If you want to spend roughly 1000+ bucks, I can point you in the right direction to buy it but then you're on your own (although I may start some "tuning tutorials" on the site once I'm comfortable to do so, don't hold your breath though
).
So, what are the nitty gritty details?
1. you have to pay to ship it to me and return shipping
2. I currently only have the capability to load a 1998 L65 program for you, so that's what you will get after reprogramming to your vin or turning off the VATs. If you want a 5 speed or another year, you need to by the VDF for your truck from Wester's Garage (99 bucks) and provide it to me to flash your specific cal.
3. This is not a business, turn around will be as quick as I can get to it but don't expect it to be done the day I get your PCM. If you want to express ship stuff that's fine, it's your coin. I will do my best to get it back out to you as soon as possible. But I do have a "day job" which takes priority. If turn around or down time is a big deal to you, I would suggest you buy a spare PCM (16216588, available on ebay or a wrecking yards for around 75-150 bucks) and send it to me instead of turning your truck into a "planter" for a couple weeks or more...
4. There is no warranty on the work, implied or other wise. It's an "at your own risk" deal. I will try it in my truck before returning it so you will know if it is working or not before I return it to you. Shipping losses are also at your own risk, but I will send it your preferred shipping methods (ie: what you paid for) and provide a tracking number (if you paid for that service) once it's out of my hot little hands.
I have been in contact with the forum moderators, they are fine with this offer as I am not selling anything. Cost recovery or otherwise. I receive NO money from this, you only pay your own expenses (IE: shipping, PCM cost, VDF, etc).
I'm not doing re-flashes for "tunes" that I have developed because (IMO) I become a seller at that point and that violates forum rules.
Plus, there's a couple guys on the forum you can buy "tunes" from already. Not looking to step on their toes.
So, worse case scenario you pay 50-60 bucks for round trip shipping (more or less, dunno), 150 bucks for a used PCM, and 100 bucks for a VDF for 250-300 bucks total with absolutely none of it going into my pocket.
Could be cheaper for you to buy a case of beer and head on down to your local GM dealer with a TECH II. Your choice.
There ya go, the offer is there if you need/want it.
I'll request you post your "order" here in an open forum as well as PM-ing me so we can keep this process transparent to the Moderators and administrators on the site.
PS: please; no ranting, bellyaching or grandstanding in this thread about "he's selling and not a vendor!" or "this isn't fair!". There's an OT forum for that kind of stuff if you feel you have an axe to grind. This is basically just a favor being offered from one guy to another and has already been cleared and sanctioned by TTS staff.
