And more....
I started off with the PPE HOT tuner.... liked it, didn't give me the gas mileage I was looking for. Was able to program gear ratio and tire size.
Sold it to a friend for 400 bucks. (800+ unit) and bought a Diablo T1000. Wasn't overly happy with the quality (seemed cheap plasticy case) but worked well, gave me over 20mpg on the highway. Was not able to program gear ratio or tire size, had my ABS and BRAKE light come on.
Bought an Edge CTV programmer. Basically, in between the first two but the light came on with it also.
Went about bought a economy PPE tuner (only 3 levels cause I was going to trade it to my buddy I sold the HOT unit to since his truck was stock and could only use the first 3 levels anyways)
When I went to reinstall the PPE tuner (economy) I realized I had put the unit "back to stock" meaning it had a stock program, I did not uninstall the economy tuner.
Got it, traded it back for the HOT unit and my brake and aBS light was still on.
Soooo, now, I had to spend another couple of hundred bucks to have the economy tuner reflashed so I could send it back and give it to my buddy.
Turns out, the EBCM went bad in between the first PPE and the Diablo. (who knew?)
I replaced it and while I was doing so, I reprogrammed the ECM to reflect the VIN number from the donor truck.
And now that it's all said and done and I have everything working, I'm going to go back and buy the Trinity again.
I've got more money in shipping and reprogramming than I do in any tuner.
