98-00 Vortec V8/V6 beta

[HyeSpeeder]

Finally got around to it.
Pid List
I also went into the chart and i added a sensor (Maf Hz) since i could not add the pid and the graph showed activty but no numbers were showing.

I attached my stock file if anyone would like to take a look and mod a few things feel free.
I have k&n intake and Flowmaster Exhaust If you guys know a few things that would make the car go faster and more power or anything Plz mod it for me Thanks.

I can't get the crank relearn to work on my 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 Classic. Everything works except this. And also can't clear the check engine light codes. Any ideas?

[Bill@HPTuners]

sikgmc, what codes are you getting that you cannot clear?

Hyespeeder, I'll let Chris know about the needed scanner parameters so we can get them added.

[sikgmc]

I can't clear P1336. Im not sure if the crank relearn is working.

[HyeSpeeder]

Thank you

You guys are great awesome support.

HyeSpeeder,

Thats for posting your stock tune. The stock GM timing table looks very conservative, actually my first thought was pathetic. If my 5.7 tune is similar I really want to get access to the PCM. Can someone post up a 5.7 tune?

Bill,

I e-mailed support saying that the old beta software couldn't locate my PCM. I assume it's because my 97 is different, but is there anything else besides the fuse (the cable can get power from the the OBD2 plug, so I assume the fuse is good) that might cause the "unable to locate PCM" error? Thanks.

Its because its a different pcm more than likely that we don't yet support...I'll see if we can run some tests to see if its something we can/will support.

Here is a stock tune from a 1998 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 5.7 and 40l60e.

Here is a stock tune from a 2002 GMC Sierra 3500HD cab/chassis box van we use for work. It is old body style with a 8.1 and a 40L80E.

[HyeSpeeder]

How come theres no way to moniter knock retard?

[HyeSpeeder]

In the histogram theres no way for me to log the Mainspark vs Airmass Vs Rpm

[sikgmc]

HyeSpeeder-does the crank relearn work for you? It seems to but I can clear the check engine light or the P1336 code.

[HyeSpeeder]

I have cleared codes it seems to work .
I will unplug a sensor tomorrow and make the light come on and see if it clears it.
For the crank relearn i can check it out but will it mess up my car if it attempts to relearn but dont go all the way through.
Whats the purpose of the crank relearn

[sikgmc]

I installed my 3rd Westers PCM a few months ago, and now my truck is telling me I need a case/crank relearn. This makes sure the crank sensor is sensing the piston position at top dead center I think. The sensor can become off over the years and hurt you performance a little.

Thanks!!

[HyeSpeeder]

Whats the 3rd Westers PCM ?? sounds intresting

I will try the crank relearn today .

[sikgmc]

3rd pcm was just more adjustments, but I'm really not happy with it. The 1st pcm he sent me many years ago was much better. But then I changed my gears and tire size so he sent me a 2nd. It was so bad that your neck hurt after driving from the shifting and me speedometer was off by 25 mph. The 3rd wasn't much better so I bought HPTuners. Now it shifts like a dream!!!!

[HyeSpeeder]

Iam kinda new to the tuning stuff. I dont know too much yet.
Is there anything simple that i should do to my stock tune to make the truck feel more powerfull and faster or if you could please look at my stock tune and tweak it up a little i would appriciate it Thanks.

Hey guys hows it going on this new 98-00 vortec tuning?

I have a 2000 Olds Bravada with the 4.3L, and im building a 98 L31 to swap into it later this year, and woudl love to do some tuning on the V6, i have a volant CAI, marine 73mm TB and TB spacer, accel 300+ ignition and coil, elctric fan, 160 tstat, edelbrock headers, dynomax ultra flow muffler, i also have an 05 non egr intake that i plan to swap over and woudl love to get rid of the egr in the pcm, and also control the efan with the pcm as well and adjust the tire size.

Im going to send an email with my vin and hopfully be able to get this for my ride.

I'll take a look at it tomorrow and see if there are a few things I can change for you. Increasing the PE rate helps out a lot. This lets the truck get the fuel it wants, faster. So when you step o the gas, there is no lag. And simply adjusting your transmission shifting can make your truck feel quicker and stronger too. I'll get back to ya......
