valet mode?
i got to thinking last night about having to ship my truck across country next year. now my 02 excursion has a 6 position chip and its shift on the fly. one of the positions is a valet mode that doesnt allow my truck to exceed 25mph. i have heard horror stories of car shippers damaging vehicles and beating on them and was wondering if its remotely possible to add a valet function to a 2000 silverado pcm.

yeah i honestly cant afford hp tuners any time soon. i was just wondering mainly if you could have a switch like my sexcursion. oh well maybe ill buy a second pcm and have a 25mph speed limiter installed before i hand it over to the hauler and switch them out when i get it back.

I have been wondering this myself, more so for when my wife drives my truck.
I know it sounds crazy, but I have wondered about running 2 computers on a power switch. Shut the truck off, flip a hidden switch, and be on a limited tune or a hot tune.

You can have a custom OS flashed into your current PCM and valet mode triggered by grounding one of the PCM pins. If Wheatley uses EFI Live, he can do it and all you need to do is install a switch and tap a wire into your PCM. The valet mode would enable additional parameters for speed and rpm.
