(EDIT: Forgot there was a tuning/diagnostics forum, please move)

Hi all,

Just wondering what an HPP3 would do if I went to reprogram my truck with it and the dealer had flashed over the last program I installed. I brought it to them for an oil change a few months ago and got to thinking they might have updated it, as it just seemed a tiny bit different when I got it back. I didn't ask them to mess with anything, but who knows if there was some TSB or something that they applied

My 5900 RPM shift points are still present though, so maybe I'm just imagining things.

Anyway just curious as to whether the HPP3 could potentially freak out tonight when I try to reprogram for larger tires. Maybe I should go reprogram it in the parking lot of the local GMC dealer.

(And yes, I know I should be running HPTuners/LS1Edit/some-other-real-tune and changing my own oil...HPP3 was a gift and I'm currently garageless!)

Thanks for any input!

 

Don't worry you're just imagining, your rev limiter would have kicked in before you hit 5900 if they reprogrammed you

 

Ditto, all though the dealer does like to reflash the pcm at any given chance. Im still pissed about them reflashing my wait4metune when I came in for a crank relearn with the mods in my sig. I shoulda got suspicious when the tech sent someone in the break room to ask me what size motor that thing had in it, as you can imagine it barely ran on a stock 6.0 tune with 42lb injectors and a cam.

 

Ouch. I could see being _slightly_ angry about that!

Thanks for the info, reprog went just fine. Though I'm going to have to do it again because tire size is slightly off from handheld GPS. For the record BFG 285/70R17 = 31.5" measured tires size for a hypertech. (32" is just slightly too big). Sure would be nice if HPP3 told you what size tires were currently programmed in so you could just adjust relatively.

 

That is when you say (from now on out) why do you want to f**king know, just do the relean so I can get out of here. Don't forget to watch them do everthing.

 

Not sure what you mean by the BFG 285/70R17 = 31.5" diameter. The BFG website says the diameter of that tire is 32.8" or 632 revolutions per mile and that is what I get if I calculate it. O well maybe just another mystery of the hypertech programmer.

 

I get 32.7 for the tire diameter.. Using the unit conversion in HpTuners.

 

I guess you don't know to many mechanics. If someone came into my dealership and talked to my mechanic or a service adviser like that he would get tossed out on his ***. If the mechanic didn't kick his *** first! If you didn't tell the SA you had a custom program it's you're own fault. The tech probably thought he was doing somebody a favor. Why you dropping the F-bomb? You probably talk tough on the phone too.

 

LOL. If you said that to any of the service guys I know, they would either kick your ***, tell you to find anothedr dealership, or charge you triple for everything.

I got my relearn done for free, and I always get hooked up when I got to the dealer.

 

**sorry, off topic**

Hey Dirty, Do you have any track times on you truck?
