96 tahoe tune?

[atis]

I thought that only 2001 and newer trucks needed the crank relearn....I thought I read that on BB's website.

"Customers that utilize the Scan Cable option will be able to perform this procedure on their own, provided that they have a laptop available to use. This is a potential savings of up to $100, depending on dealership rates. This does not apply to 98-00 Classic Body style trucks and SUVs. " -FAQs at BBP website

crap... so what scanner should I buy... I have been planning to buy one anyways so this will just bring it to the forfront of next 'toys"... I need one that reads both GM and Ford and both OBD 1 and II. Any suggestions?? (I have 3 Stangs (91, 00, 06) and the Tahoe and I work on them all)

I have a 96 2dr with the 5.7L. I got my BBTune not to long ago. I did not require a crank re-learn!

Check with BlackBear first though, they are super helpful and will answer all questions first before getting you the tune. I opted for the extra computer ($60) so I could keep my original as a "just in case"

no crank relearn for the 96? sounds good, and i think im gonna go for the extra computer too.

i just got my email with the order form in it. anyone have any suggestions for anything? like octane level, shift firmness, torque management, or special requests? what did you guys pick? did you like it?

No worries. I had the same questions back HERE.

IIRC, I picked 87 octane, firm shifts, 75% TQ reduction, O2 delete, and EGR delete. I left the other options alone, which means that they will fill in the blanks based on thier experience. My thinking was why try to guess on options because I don't know what they mean when they've done this a million times. Let them decide what to do. I have to say. I'm very happy with the results of thier experience. You will be too!
