I just yesterday finished the process with the final pcm. I followed the loaner program, instead of trying to get someone to do the CASE process. With the loaner PCM, I did experience more power and quicker shifts, but the engine did idle a bit rough (which is now gone now that the final PCM is installed).
I have also installed the k&N CAI and am really pleased with the responsiveness of the engine/shifting. The only downer is the noise the intake makes when I step on it.
Its well worth it, and very easy to do.

Okay, I got it in tonight. I only drove about 10 miles from one base to the other, and didn't get it up over 50 m.p.h. It was an easy install, the ignition on, ignition off, the spin around on your toes seemed like it took the most time. Tomorrow I will have a chance to check it out more and check if the limiter is gone. The thing definitely gave it more zip going from a standstill.
Questions:
1. I now have 1053 miles, but now the "check oil" is being displayed. Did you get this after swapping the PCM?
2. I didn't get any other errors or faults such as "check engine". It might run just a hair rough (but smooth as butter compared to my older car). I assume the CASE relearn should and needs to be done. Did you get a "check engine" light?

Do you have the LOANER PCM or yours reprogrammed and ready to go? My loaner had the Check Engine light on, but they said they take that off on the loaners. It could have just been a mistake.
Mine also had the Oil Change notification, but then again, that is specific to the PCM, so you probably just have a loaner PCM that has alot of miles on it.

Hi PCM Gang,
The PCM I installed was/is supposed to be the core exchange. Therefore, it should be the one programmed for me and is installed to stay. Here is the PayPal invoice:
Item Price:  $199.99 USD Total Shipping: $15.00 USD Total Handling: $99.00 USD Total: $313.99 USD
The H3 would start without going through the security relearn. My directions said "most of the time you will need to perform a Security Relearn". It was kind of scary because after install you have a dead truck, but then after the 35 minutes of relearn then you get to see it work.
I sent an email off to Alvin at the same time I posted the questions to you guys, but I haven't got an answer back yet. I let you know when I have something.
Have a fine H3 day.

How long does it normally take Alvin/Kelly to answer an email?
