do you know if they are producing a model for the 2.4?

jabartram · 04-26-2004, 11:57 PM

Just got an Email reply, they are sending me another PCM to try, as the first one gave me idle issues, so i'm crossing my fingers!

jabartram · 04-26-2004, 11:58 PM

Nosweat I have no idea at this point? there is a link to their site in one of my posts, you can email them and ask?

Thanks Jabartram. I hope everything works out. Keep us updated.

2.4 one is in the works. Tey are start off with the j-body and older n-bodies first.

Installed my second new PCM, it started the first time with no SES light! test drove and it's shifting at 6000 now, what are the factory shift points? it seems to get to 6000 quicker!

jturkey69 · 05-01-2004, 09:47 PM

how firm are the shifts?...mine shifts around 5700...not positive cuz the indiglows could be off a bit

jturkey69 · 05-01-2004, 09:50 PM

how bout the temp guage??..any lower then halfway?, top speed limiter?

jabartram · 05-01-2004, 09:56 PM

don't know about the speed limiter, temp guage is lower but its very cool outside right now, front blew through earlier!

Is it programmed to skip-shift like the Grand Am version?

jabartram · 05-01-2004, 11:19 PM

Don't know for sure, exactly what is skip shift?

jabartram · 05-05-2004, 03:14 PM

I've driving on my new PCM for a couple days now, I do have an SES light for the 02 Sensor circuit, code 0135, so I'm sending my factory PCM up and they are gonna program it, the 03's seem to only want to work properly with the exact hardware part number, the one I have now is in the same series, but there were changes in 02 sensor settings, so that is the up to date so far,

I do like the performance, it shifts at 6000, has the 3-1 skipshift ( which I don't really understand this, so I don't know what to look for?) has a 2 minute low speed fan on time after key off,

I think it defaults the fuel timing settings when the SES light in on so I'll let you know, more when I get Factory PCM reprogrammed!

I wonder if the PCM that you have would work for 01's and earlier then?

jabartram · 05-05-2004, 03:23 PM

The first one I got probably would, it was from an earlier year! if you decide to get one take a pic of your VIN and PCM data tag and send to them it makes it much easier.

thank god my shop ships UPS free for me, this will be 3 PCM's I'm shipping to them, but It will all be worth it in the end!

I guess the question is though are they going to work on an '01 Alero or not. I don't seem to get responses from them... not sure if they are too busy or what.

kou5oku · 05-05-2004, 05:46 PM

^^^^ its funny you mention that. Me too.

I've sent them like 3 emails requesting information.

NoSweat83 · 05-05-2004, 07:32 PM

I have not recieved a answer either. Hum?

05-06-2004, 01:10 AM

Well I have been in contact with jason at dhp, so I will let you all know if he knows anything about this or anything. ( Well thats if he gets back to me in a timely matter) I hope so.

05-06-2004, 02:46 AM

I talked with them before and they said they are more then happy to fly out to your house granted you pay for flight costs and hotel plus labor

They'll bring all the tools needed and everything.

Its loookin good for us 3.4 alero owners
Heres the reply I got from jason at dhp

Within a month we should have v1 for Aleros. The biggest issue we have with that car is the fact that the MY03 Alero's are very hardware part # specific. Most of this is due to the fact that GM decided to change 02 sensors and their related circuitry within the pcm. This results in us having to flash the EXACT part # that the MY03 owners have in their vehicles.

Translation: Hard to find cores for such a "new" vehicle when we have to match exact part #s. I am definitely doing my best to round up as many as possible for when v1 is available for you though.
