Wow find another tuner.... Holy crap thats some craptastic customer service there!!!

Taylor Bickett

So would black bear performance send me a tuned ecm? Obviously i would have to pay for the whole thing at once but possibly send my stock ecm after I'm done and be reimbursed? Like a core so i would still only be charged 250 (or whatever it is) all said and done. I doubt this is a thing but I'm going to call tomorrow and see.

hey wolf, gonna be doing the swap and delete in a week or two. just trying to get my knowledge in check lol. I am good on everything except for the A/C of all things, am i gonna have to remove the condenser or can i just move it out of the way? i dont want to have to get it evacuated and deal with that bullshit. Or are the connectors valved so it doesnt leak when you remove them?

Also have you ever done a trunion upgrade? i seen a video that a guy did it with a bench vise and a couple sockets. i dont have a press in the shop so i may have to go that route. and do you have to soak the lifters in oil for a day before you put them in?

Leave ac in place just pull radiator and fans cam will come right out.... No trunnion upgrade yet, planning to on my l92 im about to build though...

Taylor Bickett

alright good deal.. i wish i had an l92!! lol how much did you pick that up for?

Have you had any experience with texas speeds mail order tuning? I have been trying to get ahold of black bear performance all day yesterday and today, i also sent them an email on monday but havnt heard a damn thing.. I might send my ecm to texas speed so i can at least drive it.

Ive dealt with tunedbyfrost in the past and he is really good, have no experience with tsp....

As far as how much i picked up the l92 for, lets just say it was really really really inexpensive..... Its going to cost me more for the water oump gaskets than i had to come off of!!!!

FWIW I have used BB twice with great results.
BB did a retune on my 06 at no charge. They just did my stock 5.3 runs great now. I thought I'd have to change the engine it was such a mutt. Now after the tune I'm happy. S/C needed now & maybe a cam in the near future.

i did the trunion in a vice with sockets and it worked great.

Taylor Bickett

BB finally got back to me. And tunedbyfrost looks like they only do gen 3 trucks.. oh well.

Choda, how long did the trunion upgrade take? it looks super tedious, but simple.
