Thumbs up finally, there is a higher power

just got my truck back from dodge, they had to wipe my pcm clean and start from scratch to reload all the software. cost me $85. for some reason it was covered under my 7/70 warrenty. truck received new updates, tune was able to load and away we go. only problem i have now is i cant drive my truck. we are expecting 14 inches of snow and at the rate it is falling at 2 inches an hour. wont be until monday before i can rip around. and hopefully i can get to the dyno before years end

when the tuner first locked up my pcm i had to send it to sc. they were able to unlock my pcm with there program but messed up other stuff, that only dodge could fix. i had 6 communication errors that would not clear or reset. the dodge electrician had to wipe my pcm clear and reprogram it. while my pcm and tuner where at sc. their engineer was able to update my tuner and store the aggresive tune that i already had in their tuner, so i lost nothing. the engineer had to rewrite the program, and i gained a nitrous tune also.

sooo with the coop between Dodge and SC, would you say your happy at this point? After Christmas I am looking to get a tuner, not sure if it's this or the cortex but watching very closely!

yea, finally the headache is done with. i need to return superchips rental car and go have some fun. but we just got hit with 14 inches of snow, so it will be awhile before i can really get to use the tune, but we will see what the dyno says

Superdak, thats awesome. I know it's been frustrating as hell, had to be kind of scarey too, thinking your pcm was toast.

You keep talking about an agressive tune. Did someone flash your pcm earlier? Who did the agressive tune? Just curious.
