I may do this one day.

 

Skinned knuckles come from the limited area you have to work in. If you look at hte diagram I provided earlier you can tell exactly how it attaches and how to take it out. The bolts are somewhere between 12 and 14 mm, just use a box end wrench and check the 13mm first. Some guys go from underneath where they can see a litlle, but my truck is too tall and my arms too short for me to do that. I just pull my air cleaner, cover the throttle body with a rag,and lay a piece of plywood on top of my engine to lay on. Makes getting to the CPS, oil sending unit, and cap and rotor very easy.

 

That is what I needed. I knew where the dang sensor was but I can't figure out how to get it out. I like you plywood across the engine idea. I probably try that tomarrow. Thanks

 

Thank God fo being 6'2" with long arms...

 

My truck is stock height, so for me it was much easier to reach up from underneath. I also have the stock cat removed and have a y-pipe there so that might giveme a little more space to reach up past the exhaust pipes. I've takenthe sensor out from the top and the bottom, it pretty much sucks either way.

 

The flash is what it is. Dave will customize it for $, but 99% of people who send thier box up there get one of the three flashes that they list on thier site. In other words if you have a cai and get the M1 flash you will get the same thing as someone who orders the M1 flash hat has betterheads, a cam, M1 or modded intake, exhaust, etc. Once flashed, the pcm will adapt to whatever new mods you do. Just like the stock flash will, only your timing will be way more advanced and the fuel tables will be way more liberal.

On the other hand, Tom Foxwill take one of a bunchof base flashes that he has and tweak it here and there according to your mods.He is way more conservative on timing though. He will set it whatever you want, but he willtry to talkyou down if you go to high.

I have a Tom Fox box, and a B&G box. Tom Fox nailed the fuel delivery, but timing only makes it up to ~31*.After being reset, B&G's box takes a while to get the fuel maps right, but it gets up to~40* advance after 1800rpm. The B&G box is faster.

Tom Fox is a good guy to talk to, and will take the time to explain some of the parameters and how they interact. Things likehow your pcm retards your timing when your iat sensor has hot air going past it.

 

I forgot to mention- Anyone thinking of getting a flash right now may want to hold off for a bit. Apparently B&G has been working with SCT on new flash tuner software for our trucks. It is about time someone did this.
