Thanks MGD!

The first action you take (rather, the Xcal2 takes), is to copy the stock tune file from the PCM to the Xcal2.
Next step, if you are gonna be loading a new tune, is the PCM reserved NVM space is erased, and the KAM is cleared (where the adaptive strategy stuff lives).
Next, the selected new tune file is written - a straight file write, with attendant sanity ( CRC, whatever) checks to ensure a reliable write.
Now - if you wanna load yet another tune - it's just a repeat of the erase/write/check process.
They're really just files - in a different format, but still just files. Bit for Bit replacement.
Kinda simplistic, but there it is.

Well, it's been a few days and have been running the 87 perfomance tune and have been very impressed! Noticed as the more I run the truck the better it gets. Shifting is smoother, truck is running smoother and acceleration is awsome!! So far I am 100% pleased with this tuner and very happy I made this investment for my truck. Would HIGHLY recommend this tuner to anyone who is looking to purchase one!

I've been watching Gotts2BMe case his was 30th June so I should be 1 week after him!!!
Im not complaining but surley if they are this popular and there seems to be a good demand, their P.R. skills are good (they do answer the phone and Anita sounds
HOT ). . . . . . why not get rid of this Hick-up in the system???

Now I do feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas. What kind of tunes did you guys order. Since I am not going to be doing a lot of towing, I just went with a 87 performance, 93 performance, and a 93 economy. I have a feeling I am never going to use the 93 economy tune though. What other good tunes do they do?
