Wasn't anything I said was it??

I know nothing!!!

 

Too bad, I would have liked an answer to the last question I posted. It appears there is a split developing in the information circulating on this subject, and I believe it is at the core of why some find this new process difficult to accept. It's not the process itself, rather it is what its capabilities (or limitations) are. I've grown to accept that onefastlride's reflash speaks for itself. I also believe he and jmimac351 are trying to deliver information that is useful, tempered with some reasonable admittance that the process cannot compensate for any and all mods thrown its way. However this is in direct conflict with **** who continues to post that the reflash can and will adapt to any and all mods, no matter what. That's simply too difficult to believe without some evidence from a credible source. Hopefully Nate's upcoming testing of his setup and updates from onefastlride will prove the process worthy of all the debate. I'd certainly be in line if it works.

 

I don't think he said that. He, as well as many others, encouraged people to use common sense.

I thought we went over this? A reflash will not be able to adapt to going from a 2 lb. pulley to an 8 lb. and a 150 shot. Just not in the cards.

 

Yes he did. He posted it right here:

That shows you how misunderstood he is. Imagine the problems this is going to cause some folks when they attempt to do the impossible.

Concerning a reflash, a dealer can detect the last time the pcm was flashed. Pretty soon we'll start seeing people with their warranty denied based on this fact. It happens EVERYDAY in the GM world.

 

At least you folks understand that a reflashed PCM isn't impervious to stupidity. So I expect no more ridiculous "what if" scenarios from the peanut gallery.

 

Yes, but if it really came down to the proverbial crunch, you can always have your PCM updated at a dealership with the latest files, doing away with your old reflashed programming.

Dealerships update PCMs very often with other service work. Some tech monkey spends the 10 minutes it takes to update to the latest files from Ford when you take it in to rotate your tires, do an oil change, etc. Unless there is a national database that they can cross-reference with on when each time the dealership updated your PCM, I don't think this will be a big problem for warranty issues.

 

Actually, he has said it more than once. In the most recent thread that was moved, he responded to a member who stated that one must pre-disclose all mods to Mark before the reflash is done, just like when you have a chip done. **** told him that was not the case with the reflash.

I'm not looking to point out who is right or wrong, I simply want to make sure we are all on the same page as this progresses.

The customer base will be built from those of us who are willing to listen and even question the process as we learn to trust it. All I want is to make sure the capabilites are not "over-sold" ........

 

A) **** does not represent reflashing PCMs.

B) The one actually in contact with the reflasher (Mark) has told everyone to include as many details about their mods, driving habits, weather, geo locations, etc. He basically told me to put as much info about my truck and how and where I drive it as possible...even things I would consider unnecessary.

 

You are hired ... You can be my head researcher...

 

Who knows, some of the info may seem unnecessary, but if it helps him build you a highly responsive profile..........guess there are no really little details when it comes to the alternatives of a bad tune.

 

Aside from the '99/'00 Lightnings with an update from CUX1 to CUX2, and the '03 Cobra from QUD2 to YDH0 to YDH1, the '01 and '02 Lightnings (CXN1 and ABU2, respectively) haven't had any.

As for "record keeping", OASIS keeps track of everything done to the vehicle warranty wise (as long as it is entered). Although not a Ford, GM owners are getting questioned, given a hard time, and some are even having their warranties denied, for having a performance flash under GM's nose.
