    Thumbs up Vx Programer

    Just talked with My buddy and he said that they were slowly but surely working toward the GM V6 programmer.

    As most of you are aware, I drive a GMC Sierra 2000 w/5.3L V8.

    Airdeano (my buddy) sent me one of their tuners for my truckso that I could experience the improvement.

    Here's what is available and will be in the VX tuner if possible.

    1. Speed limiter- Stock --130 mPH -- Z-rated tires

    2. Ping Control (timming) 0 (stock) -- +5% and -5%

    3. tire height from 25 to 44 inches in 1/4" increments

    4. engine tune --- stock , economy, TOW/RV, and Hi Performance/off road

    5. axle ratio

    6. Shift points -- leave stock, economy, TOW/RV, & Hi Performance/off road

    7. Octane level -- Regular, middle, Premium

    8. Speed ometer calibration -- Yes/No

    9. Shift firmness -- Stock, Economy & TOW/RV.

    I installed it in my truck, took 7-1/2 min start to finish, and set it up according to instructions.

    I set the speed limiter to 130 MPH (Tire rating) and then got 55 MPH of that in 1st gear before the shift at 5800 RPM.

    It pulls hard from 1500rpm til I run out of intestinal fortitude (guts, gonads, what ever).

    I did have to move my seat back a notch to keep my speed down.

    I hope it was OK to dangle a carrot while letting you know that we were still working on the ECM tuner.

    Yes!! the booklet I have for mine includes a table of the DTC codes and their meaning.

    You can read and clear the codes with this programmer.

    Sounds like a great upgrade; any idea what the final pricetag will be? Ballpark?

    under $400.00 is the target.

    I can get chips and programmers for most Ford and GM trucks and SUVs now. Including the diesels. They are all in that price range.
