I did this once before, without writing down the settings, and it took me about a month or two to get it back sounding good!! But, it's worth a shot. I'm still waiting to hear from James at RWTD to see what he says before I do snything major or drastic though.
Thanks

RED53GMC, thanks, I didn't think of the "easy" way...I'm so used to the hard way!!! LMAO
01 SIlverado.. Cool, ALthough, you prolly won't have any problems unless you're running the predator. If it's not hot where you're at, run it up to the limiter in 1st and 2nd for me without the clutchf an or e-fans, just to see what yours does.
YOU KNOW I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING!! My e-fans are installed, but I don't have the VSC wired up, I wonder if this will all "go away" when the VSC gets wired up and the ECU recognizes that Electric fans, or some type of cooling fans are installed? Hell, there may be a snesor somewhere that recognizes the weight of the fan or the fan bolt is missing and it intentionally knocks down the revs to avoid potential overheating.... I'm just tossing out piles of **** right now guys!!! But does this sound credible, or just "Yeah, I just flushed the radiator in my 69 VW Beetle" Bullshit?

I will def let ya know how it runs without any fans on, as long as it isnt raining... which it is supposed to for the next 3 days! I really hope I dont run into any problems with wiring, thats the only thing I am worried about. If I have probs, I am sure you guys can answer them in minutes!

When I got my transmission replaced the guys that did the rebuild disconnected the battery. When they hooked it back up they didn't hook the power up for the fans. I only drove about 5 miles back to the house like that and didn't have any problems because it was cool out. I also didn't have any rpm fluctuations.
Hopefully the deal you're going through is something simple and will get figured out soon.

My shifts points stayed fine when I tossed on the E-fans... on the 99 Z71 and this 01 Z71. So sounds like something is queer with the PCM or related to it temp wise or someshit like that. 
BTW... if you flushed the radiator on your '69 Beetle, would you be interested in my oceanfront property in Arizona?

Would it help to load the stock tuning back in and then throw the pred tuning in after that. I had to do this to my cousins truck once. It was a hpp3 and his girl put the cheap gas in and in ran like crap and didn't want to idle. After I put the stock back tuning back in it ran fine. Granted he had to run the cheap stuff out of the tank but in your situation it sounds pred related. Sounds like it just went queer!
