It wasn't changing to a Stealth V tune that was the problem. I used to be that any time you put a new PCM (or even the same one with a new tune like the one from Stealth V) that you would have to do a crank position re-learn procedure to sync the PCM to the engine. This needed to be done with a Tech II (or EFI Live or HP Tuners...)Wasn't there a problem after changing the computer to a stealthv one that you had to go to the dealer to fix with a tech-II?? I've been wanting a stealthv extra one myself, but i think a crank or cam sensor had to be reset with a tech-II???? Now i can't remember, but i know something had to be done after the swap?? I think it was causing a no start condition?? Had this been worked out? Someone set me straight on this because i forgot what it was that had to be done.. It was more than just enetering the vin.
I have an extra ECU but you need to do a CPK after the swap. I have EFILive and love it.Wasn't there a problem after changing the computer to a stealthv one that you had to go to the dealer to fix with a tech-II??

When you switch them out do you need a crankshaft relearn?I have two - one w/ StealthV and the other w/ std Magnusson
The service manager at the dealer I use knows about the mods I've done. At the annual inspection, the car draws a crowd from the service techs to see what I've done to the car this year. My drivetrain warranty is gone anyhow.
When I bring it in for inspection, I put the maggie pcm in - just in case something gets screwed up.
Nope. Just install and go.When you switch them out do you need a crankshaft relearn?
Sweet- thanks for that info.Nope. Just install and go.
I had the nav update done (twice) and never had the tune changed. However, since they hook up the Tech II and mess with the non-engine portion of the PCM it would certainly be possible that the mechanic could reflash the engine tune. Bottom line, if he/she does the nav update correctly it shouldn't have any effect on your engine tune.They replaced my nav because of the buttons. Now the car doesnt go into competitive driving mode. If i have them fix that, will they mess with the pcm? I have since put the maggie on and have their tune installed. Are the nav unit and pcm on the same system?
I got EFIlive and didnt really notice a difference. Im all stock save for intake, wheel hop kit, Kooks LTs, and Zoomers.If you get EFILive you can pull out a copy of the stock tune and save it. You can then flash in changes or put the stock back in for dealer visits. Only takes a minute with a laptop. No need for spare PCMs IMO, plus getting to ours is a mother from what I saw.
No disrespect to the StealthV tune but if you are mechanically inclined and can work a PC you'll appreciate the tune that much more if you do it yourself. If you have the LS6 the EFILive prices plus a wideband sensor won't run you much more than a 3rd party tune. Do yourself a favor and at least read up on it at the efilive.com website you can even download a copy of the software to play with.
