Hey folks,
A few weeks back I had my tuner on my desk, and it seems to have walked off . Whether lost or tossed, I am most likely going to need to replace it.
I have a few things set on the truck currently, 91 tune, speedo fix, and firmer shifts.
What would I expect to happen when I get a replacement? I don't have the stock tune (it was saved on the i3) Am I stuck with having to get a replacement PCM/TCM as well or can a new i3 default or remove other settings? Or can I DL the stock tune somewhere if needed.
My new Monster trans has firmer shifting so the firmer shift tune is not necessary (in fact feels like a hammer in 2nd gear)
Appreciate any insight, and guidance.

What vehicle is this specifically?

Its a 2001 Suburban LS 1500.
No backup unfortunately. Made 2 changes and put it on my desk.

the early GM scan be tricky to get back to stock.
Better chance of doing it with a P2 than the i3 honestly, and even then it may require a dealer visit to get flashed back to stock.

Thats what I was concerned with. Guess I'll try once more to rip apart the house, then if necessary bite the dust and get an appt at the Stealer.

Re: Lost i3 Tuner
is that 2001 old enough to where he could get a ecu from a junk yard that wouldn't need the relearn pin from the dealer? I wasn't sure if finding a ecu from a junk yard would be cheaper than having the dealer reflash his. I know my GM dealer charges 250 for a ecu flash. I asked before I bought my i3 in case i messed something up lol.
just a newb here who's never tune a fuel injected car before. A relic from years long passed when tuning was done with a few turns of a carb screw and few inches on the distributor and smelling the exhaust and listening to valves tap under heavy load.

Re: Lost i3 Tuner
Most any pcm change here would require a reflash to get the VIN in there and make VATS work.
