Low cost upgrades/modification??

[jeverett]

yeah, this is a dumb question, but How long does the ECU take to reprogram itself? Would a 90 mile trip be enough?

[rshooch]

yea 90 should be enough time i usally wait a coulpe of days but then again i dont drive 90 at one time.. just make sure u drive normal NO playing cause that will change the effects on ur air fuel mixture in the ecu.. u will notice a perfomance drop but dont worry about it its just the ecu reprogramming its self

[jeverett]

Well good deal, I'll un-program it, and reset the ecu before I leave this afternoon. Maybe this is the reason I haven't seen the results everyone talks about with my FIPK...

[okie-chevy-man]

Sounds stupid but did you plug your MAF back up?

[jeverett]

yeah, i did

[okie-chevy-man]

and you reset the ecu by turning the key hitting the as turning off etc...?

Ok a while back I anounced that I had cut out the bottom of the air filter box. Once I got done playing I checked my milage and it increased just one mpg to 19mpg in city. I havn't tried it yet on the highway but I will let everyone know what the result is.

Good Morning.. I am now 90 miles away from home, after resetting my ECU, and then reinstalling my Hypertech, the only place I drove to is Zaxby's. I'll be driving about another 100 miles today, so I'll definately notice if there was a difference. I do know that while stock, the truck seemed to get better mileage, but I haven't tested to prove so.

[okie-chevy-man]

well, hope you figure it out soon. you sure are racking up the miles

[Phix_06]

HEy does anyone know where I could get a brush guard with headlight guards for cheap???? I had a close encounter with a heard of Elk yesterday.

[jeverett]

e bay man, i found a brand new chrome westin for $100 once

[jeverett]

Believe it or not, i got 16.1 mpg on that tank. Just luck? Let's sure hope not.

I'd sure like to know how your getting 320-340. You must have a 4.8L

[bowtieguy]

i have the 5.3L and i am getting any where from 375 to 388 a tank in city.

[jeverett]

I have the 5.3, and I drive like a bat out of hell most of the time... Where I live there isn't even a stoplight the town is so small, so most of my driving is crusing back roads. I usually average about the same even if i get a call in the middle of the night and have to run 80+ to the FD.
