PCM for Less - Page 3

Are there any downsides to the PCMforless programming?  It doesn't sound like there are any other than the security thing.  Is there a way that I can get one reflashed and keep my original but just make it plug and play?  And if so what would the cost be?  I checked their website and to me that was confusing.  My nearest dealer is about 450 miles from here so I really don't wanna have to go there for anything unless I have to.  Thanks.

My recommendation is to call Alvin or Kelly  and get the particulars on how this works..

The Security relearn is something you might have to do for the LOANER only...no big deal if you have about 30 mins to wait on the process...My loaner PCM didn't need to do that..it started right up with no problems..I drove around with it for a week till I got my original one back all tuned up...NO DOWN SIDES at all...Believe me, I was very skeptical at first too..but these folks have a complete 100% satisfaction guarantee...Or they refund you 100%..That type of guarantee is unbeatable in this type of service anywhere...Give them a call, you won't be sorry.

Alright....I've been reading/studying this posting and i think I'm going to have to try this PCMforless thing.  I'm not going to lie....I'm a little apprehensive, so i'm going to continue to bone up on it a little more before I dive in.

Ah quit procrastinating...You won't believe the improvement it makes unless you see for yourself...Now give Kelly a call.

Another satisfied PCM for Less customer here. Fixed a bunch of issues with the upgrades I did, and the performance kick is definately noticeable.

What issues did you have that the PCM fixed?  Just curious...I've been thinking about getting one.  Do you have to have most of your upgrades (such as tires/rims, engine enhancements, etc...) completed prior to getting the PCM installed?

Not according to what Kelly tells us..they will program the PCM with the understanding that you have a Cat-back and Intake mod (if that's what you plan on doing, otherewise they'll tune it for a stock system)..then when you finally do..the PCM will respond to it ..

Speedo and shift points were way out of whack with my 35's. The truck drove like crap, and now it runs right.
 

That's it...I'm getting the darn thing.  There's just so much to buy and not enough time and money. 
 
exhaust
tires/rims
a new ipod mount
PCM for less
Embroidered headrests
 
I just can't keep up.

Don't forget to budget for a new computer keyboard when yours wears out from all your posting!

This keyboard is 6 years old and is just as good as the day I got it.

Well???..Did you order your's yet??

Not yet....I'll let you know when I do.

Just wanted to say Thanks for all the opinions on PCM For Less!
I've been on one of the other Hummer forums since Nov 05 and now
I'm interested in getting the PCM tuned.

Kelly had provided a link to this forum and in one thread had
mentioned that Dennis was somewhat skeptical in the beginning,
but now was a believer.

I just wanted to read everyone's thoughts on the tuning and all
the posts have just reinforced that the tuning is the right thing for
me to have done.

I'm having 315's put on this coming Friday and from all the posts this
tune should be really great.

Dennis, I'm assuming that while you had the temporary core you just
drove your H3 without getting the CASE relearn - is that correct?

My dealer is 3 1/2 hours away one way, but we do have GM dealers
in the city.

Thanks from Montana!

Thanks Dennis for your previous PM!
 
Sent my PCM in Monday morning by express mail. PCM for Less got it Tuesday morning and got it back into the mail system Tuesday afternoon. It arrived this morning, Wednesday, by express mail. I reinstalled it in this evening. Super fast service!!!
 
I have the Adventure with Toyo Open Country MT 315 tires and dual exhaust. I have 37 psi in the tires.
 
I filled up the gas tank and went out on the interstate and did 62 miles came back, filled up again and had gotten 14 mpg. Just wanted to see what the initial mpg was, pretty happy getting 14 mpg with 315's on the H3!
 
The H3 shifted great going up hills and there was no lack of power. Didn’t go over 75 as it was night and there had been two Highway Patrol vehicles at the place where I filled up, so I knew they were around. Compared the speedometer reset to the GPS and it was good, happy with that!
 
Initial impression very pleased!  Thanks Alvin and Kelly for a great job!!! 

Hey John..glad you like it..I'm very pleased..The performace inproves too with a little more time as the PCM adjusts to your driving style...I like the scat it has in city driving, between stop lights
