Ya, there is not a lot of reason for the campers to get up here yet until this snow stops. It's like february up here yet.
I took my truck to mitchell to get some stuff monday, but I didn't get after it at all to test it. Being so cold yet I'll just wait til it warms up for any more wot test runs. I'm kinda scared to do anymore anyway means I hit 39lbs of boost before.

I don't know if you remember in my thread, but I had a "surge" with the cruise on when I was coming home with the truck from the trans ordeal. When I went to Mitchell the other day, I took interstate part of the way, and the old highway the other part. On the interstate, I noticed the surging, I had the cruise set at 72-73. On the highway, the cruise was set at 55, and I noticed nothing. On the way home, I took the same route, and didn't notice the surging on the interstate. I'm not positive it wasn't, the wind was blowing about 40 right against me, but I didn't notice it.
I can't remember, do these PCM's "learn" anything? I was wondering if maybe it learned something having to do with my transmission, but I have no idea.
Glad to hear your truck is fixing itself Glenn. I like it when that happens! My fuel gauge has never been messed up since that one time. It was like that for a month or so iirc, then just fixed itself.

I mentioned this surge to Jonathan and this trip I haven't noticed it. But, like you say, the wind was blowing so I can't be sure its gone completely. The surging before was mostly on level ground without a wind.
I was told that our PCM's do not learn but the SD's do. I don't know if that's true or not.

Im happy for you Glenn. Glad it worked out for you. And it looks great. Still puzzeled about the boost being low. Hopefully your trip will be less stressful this year knowing all your ducks are in a row.

Thanks for the clarification on the pcm learning Glenn and Travis. I thought that was the case, but didn't remember for sure. Travis, I remember you mentioned the tuning in my thread, I was just wondering if it could be anything else. I have a hard time understanding how it could be the tuning when I never had it before, and I never send my chip in. Maybe it is, I just don't know. It's not a bad surge, just a slight one. I guess I'll have to see how it works next time, and go from there.
Where is the RABS on my truck?
Sorry for the hijack Glenn...

X2 on that. The RV park seems to be huge, I can see in the center of the pic a motorhome (maybe a Coachmen) and maybe another rig far away in the right of the pic. Your rig continues looking awesome. 
thanks Glenn.
thanks Glenn.

I'm not sure what they change in the tuning to correct the surge. I'm sure it has to do with too quick throttle response and the cruise isn't as smooth as the ole foot on the throttle. Idk, just a guess.

I wish I could Aaron! It was 90* today and pulled some good hills and the temp seemed to be OK. Runs really well but I don't want to sound like a complainer but like I told Jake last year, I have to see it to believe it. I haven't seen it. When people talk about pulling, I don't think they are talking about the long steep hills. On the short steep hills, yeah, what Jake said holds true.
Its probably still tuning but much better then it was.
