can I flash a 2001 OS to my 2000 VCM??

[S2H]

I am just wondering cause I want to get rid of that dam second ve table.. and to get a few other small things that they changed in 2001...

[Keith@HPTuners]

Yes you can, if you have support for both vehicle types.

Although the better option is to spend 49$USD and get the 1bar SD enhancement for your vehicle.

That way besides only getting the primary VE you ALSO get dual spark tables that work
(Although the Enhancement is for SD ONLY )

is there anything special I need to do?? or can I just flash away...and update the 2001 file with my current stuff???

[EpOcH]

You use the rewrite entire VCM option in the VCM flasher because the operating system numbers will more than likely vary.

Youve got support for that later year ?

Yup, and copy over most if not all tables i would assume, i've not been game to go down that path yet as bad things(tm) can happen if you miss some tables .

So, If i have support for 1999 and 2002 I'd be better off having my VCM reflashed to the 02 and tunning with it?

[S2H]

by the way... I had a successful conversion

could you outline the steps that it took to do this?

More than Zero

I believe it goes like this

Get a stock .bin for the year you want (provided you have a license for that year)

Open VCM Flash
Use the Advanced -> Rewrite entire VCM

and that's it... remember though to make sure the year you're flashing to is compatible w/your PCM ... I know 99-02 F-Body V8 OS's can be swapped around. (I'm running an 02 OS on my 00 PCM)

Of course when doing this follow the appropriate precautions... car battery full, laptop full, screensaver off, power saving features off ... etc etc
