    Copy PCM to swap in a new one with Tech 2?

    @mattbta I got the VCX Nano in from VXDIAG. Wondering about returning it, I cannot figure out how to get PCM hammer to connect to it. The tool came with software but instructions are dismally bad. They don't match any of the folders, no auto installer, etc. etc. etc. I think that aside I got it...

    Copy PCM to swap in a new one with Tech 2?

    Thanks @Tonyrodz I started building the Hands Free Calling and Bluetooth connection to stereo. Then life got the best of me :/ I think I have a thread somewhere for it. I'm a real estate broker by day, former consultant in aerospace industry, and really would love to get to what I actually went...

    Copy PCM to swap in a new one with Tech 2?

    @mattbta that's awesome. I use HP Tuners quite a lot. Years ago I built my own adapters for ALDL / OBD1. It was a lot simpler then. I was even working to hack the older ECMs. I wrote a bunch of code to do it. I had no clue about PCM Hammer or Tuner Pro. Really cool stuff. I probably should have...

    I am going to use PCM hammer to clone it. https://github.com/LegacyNsfw/PcmHacks/wiki

    Copy PCM to swap in a new one with Tech 2?

    @mattbta I contacted OBDx and asked them they said I could clone a PCM with PCM hammer and their adapter supports it. Further research looks like the OBDx adapter is more versatile, supports more protocols. However, I went ahead and bought the VCX Nano for the included Tech 2 Win license. Thanks...

    @mattbta oh cool, yeah I spotted the VCX Nano on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/VXDIAG-Multiple-TIS2WEB-Diagnostic-Programming/dp/B01NACTAY8 Not sure if this works the same way? It has both Bluetooth and USB https://obdxpro.com/product/obdx-pro-gt-obd2-diagnostics-and-tuning/ Guy at junkyard...

    Copy PCM to swap in a new one with Tech 2?

    @rockola1971 you're quite possibly the internet's best kept secret when it comes to working on vehicles! Dang thanks for the tip. Curious, what's the thing about a Tech 2? Is it simply a bi-directional scan tool or something fancier / custom? I couldn't sleep last night so was up till 2 AM...

    2011 Chevy Tahoe “Tug issues”

    My first assumption was the same as @NickTransmissions transmission isn't locking up after gear shift. Closely monitor your fluid and transmission temp if you have gauge for that. Heat kills transmissions. In my opinion, what happens over time, is the valve body wears out especially if fluid...

    Copy PCM to swap in a new one with Tech 2?

    This actually isn't for my Truck but think it's the same process regardless. It's for my 1999 C5 Corvette. I think the PCM is shot (bench test isn't passing long story). I am going to buy another PCM I know I can either (1) buy from somebody who can program VIN or (2) buy license for PCM I buy...

    Where to buy crimps for big three upgrade?

    Dang I get a sense of what you did from your photo but cannot exactly see. You grounded where the red BAT box was before. Would be easier that reaching down to the side of the block. My mind wonders why they made the chassis ground in such a precarious place (front drive body mount / core...

    Where to buy crimps for big three upgrade?

    It just dawned on me, I'm going about this the wrong way. My buddy had a Volkswagen Beatle. Basket of worms that car, but aside from that. I noticed it had a terminal block. All the systems connecting to Battery+ under the hood were routed through a terminal block, kind of like that red box...

    Where to buy crimps for big three upgrade?

    Gotchya, I see the post extenders. Those will work for time being. I kind of hate all the extra hoopla on the cables. I like a nice clean crimped setup. You've not had any issues with heating at the solder joints? From what I understand current travels on surface of conductor, is why battery...

    Where to buy crimps for big three upgrade?

    Awesome thanks @Tonyrodz I'm sitting here kind of amazed. It looks as though one person did this Big 3 Upgrade and everybody online copied it then made tutorials off it. I may need to come up with a custom way to do this so it's proper fitment for our trucks. It appears as though people are...

    Where to buy crimps for big three upgrade?

    I think I may need to convert to a top post style. I cannot for the life of me find the factory style crimp connectors for several 0 Gauge wires. Most all the tutorials I'm seeing leave quite a lot to be desired with their custom battery / charging cables.

    Where to buy crimps for big three upgrade?

    This is probably on the forum somewhere but I cannot find it. I need to buy crimp terminals for big three upgrade. Specifically this: GROUNDS: Engine block and chassis grounds replaced, need to splice them together and have a single terminal to battery post (side post) Battery Positive: I...

    Broken Lower Control Arm Mount

    If I had unlimited budget (kind of like my engine build haha) I'd have tons of the Baseline Overland stuff... Your rig looks killer :) My trick to budgets... don't add up until project is done. Then cry haha

    Broken Lower Control Arm Mount

    Dang dude! Love the stance of your truck. What size wheels and tires are those? From looks of your previous pictures you're not lifted...? Also I LOVE the baseline overland stuff. However, darn you must be rich! Their stuff is super spendy! I've been considering modifying the factory bumper on...

    Junkyard windshield

    @Rocket Man does the GMT800 chassis have some sort of alignment marks or pins so the windshield will go on straight? I think I get only one attempt to "squish" the new bead of urethane when I'm installing the windshield.

    Junkyard windshield

    Thanks everybody... Really appreciate the conversation and help :) I'm going to give away what I'd never do again haha... 1. Changing tires w/ tire iron. I cracked a rim. Might be feasible with a commuter car, however, no way with aluminium rims and 10 ply / load E tires. Then I tried a...

    Junkyard windshield

    So I hand built (myself) a custom 2500 ton drivetrain for my Tahoe. Honestly, the most financially sound decision would have been not to do any of it. That aside, $380 at my current income is easily a weeks work in a normal year. This year it's two months work no joke. Business is dismal and I'm...

    Junkyard windshield

    @Mean_Green darn I'll have to check into that! I didn't know regaurdless they might cover a windshield. Brings me to bit of an off topic. I may want to upgrade my insurance to full coverage but not sure. I have about $15,000 into upgrades in the truck and my labor doing them. My catastrophe...

    Junkyard windshield

    I'll ask the glass company I do business with at work about a windshield although last two I bought were $300+ unless I got a cheaper glass which was under $200. It's my understanding that factory glass is some of the best? I've been studying up on it, the hardness part so far looks to be...

    Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look.

    If anybody has installed glass before knows part number compatibility let me know. I cannot seem to find a catalogue to show what years have the same windshield.
