diablo tuner = dead PCM

[Hellz]

so after spending the weekend to think thigns through..

i pulled the PCM/ECM today and will box it up.
i already submitted a RMA request, so hopefully that will get approved tomorrow (monday) as they are closed on the weekends ( not sure how a business like this does not have 24/7 support)

spend the $99 and get an upgraded tuner out of the deal and just be out of a vehicle for the next 3 or so days. atleast i got the wifes grand am to cruise in...

i think i will look in to a spare PCM from a junk yard or ebay.
if i get a PCM from a wrecked H2, do i still need to get it flashed to my H2?
wouldnt mind the thought of having a performance PCM and a stock one for whatever reasons.

on the positive side...the H2 is at 1/4th a tank.. so thats about $100 i saved not having to fuel up.. and gas went up $.14 cents friday to $3.69 here.. on average i spend about $100 on gas a week.. so i guess it works itself out in the end.

i think i might pull the grill and go get it line-X... might finally do the door sills as well with a roll on application of bed liner

Good time as any to get 'er done. You know you can buy that line-x material in a spray can which might make it a cleaner install.

Let us know what happens with the ECM.

what kind of prep work needs to be done before using?

If it were me, I'd degrease the area first and then use a gray scotchbrite pad to scuff the area. Mask it off and spray several light coats. I think you'll find it'll stick like crazy if you do that.

well couldnt find lineX in a can, so i bought some dupont bedliner instead.

will get it cleaned up and take care of the door sills first to see how it turns out.
im just a little worried about the color matching before i do the grill. i dont like how bedliners turn a grayish/ash color after awhile.

LOL...you can't get "Line-X" in a can. It's Duplicolor or Rustoleum spray-on bed liner.

Here's some threads with info on the product:
