Hello everyone, thanks for the interest in the PCM GP. I've come up with some information for you guys.
GP Starting Date: Tonight 3-19-04
GP Ending Date: 1st of April
Current Pricing:
99-00: $375
01-02: $425
03-04: $490
10 orders: 10% off
20 orders: 15% off
30 orders: 20% off
Based on the demand and GP list on the other thread, it looks like there should no problem getting the GP to 20% off. That would be $300, $340, $392.
I will be accepting payment on the 1st of April.
I'd like to list a few features as well.
-Dual octane tuning is available and has always been available. Dual octane tuning allows you to take advantage of both sides, economy and performance.
Options for dual tuning range from 87-93.
-A Performance 93 tune will give you the most gains. Expect a nice drop in your 1/4 mile times and possibly better gas mileage to offset the need to run lower octane.
-When 93 isn't available, 91 octane offers similar results. A great increase in power and great drivability.
-The higher octane the PCM is tuned for, the more performance you'll see. For those who run 87 octane, you won't be left out. A custom 87 octane tune is far superior than a stock tune; so expect great results.
Torque Management: If this is in your special requests then this is for you. TM is supposed to prolong the life of the trans. If this is removed completely, your trans may fail. However, if you have a built trans, this is usually removed to keep the truck from falling between shifts. I've seen stock trans with no TM last a long time and I've seen built trans break with TM, so it's your call. If not mentioned, I'll perform the normal trans tune and leave about 30-40% TM in the PCM. This is still a nice feel over 100% TM.
Before PCM's are sent out, I flash it with GM's latest calibration which includes your VIN and all options. Then the PCM's receive the custom tune based on your modifications and requests.
It's no secret, not every tune goes perfect the first time (most of them do though). This is with every tuner out there, you know who they are. So, I'm going to ask you guys to check your service number. You'll need to view the top of the pcm. The PCM is located next to and below the battery. Remove the plastic cover on top of the PCM by releasing it from the two tabs. Then, unclip the metal clip holding the PCM to the mount. The PCM is now free. The service number will end in 4896, 411, 605, 242, 106. I stock the most common PCM and the 411 should be compatible with all 99-02 trucks and the 605 for the 03/04 trucks, but somtimes that doesn't happen. This will help get your tune right the first time. I should be able to send you a 411 PCM and it should work the first time for your 99-02 truck but thanks to GM about 1% may not. ( i know the little secrets that are supposed to make them work, but sometimes they just don't).
When your PCM is installed, I ask that you return your core within an acceptable amount of time. I do offer the option of keeping your PCM for $120 extra (in addition to the cost of the tune).
I'll need the following to get your tune out:
Name
Address
Phone
VIN
List of every modification to the truck(except appearance)
Gear/tire size
2wd, 4wd, ext. cab, reg. cab?
Engine size
What octane? Dual?
Do you tow, how much?
Fan control yes/no what temp is your stat?
Any special requests.
I usually cover the cost of regular shipping. If you prefer to get your PCM faster, add:
$10 for 2-3 day shipping
$20 for guaranteed 2 day delivery
$30 for overnight
All Texans out there. I have to charge sales tax for you guys 7.875%. Please don't forget to add this to your total.
I accept the following, check (i'll have to wait until it clears), money order, paypal, and by the end of next week visa / mc (I'll have a replacement by then).
No purchases will be accepted after the end date of the GP. I will be having another GP later this year.
Like any GP, I'm going to receive a lot of questions, feel free to email me anytime and I'll get back to you the same day.
I'll be adding to this post as needed, so please check back for updates.
Thanks to all you guys out there that are choosing a Nelson Tune, I appreciate it and look forward to speaking with every one of you.
thanks,
allen
