Installing DP Tuner

Half way through the job. Had to remove my inner fender guard to access that 10mm bolt on the back of the PCM. Cause my all my Aircon stuff and fan is located where your brake master cylinder is. Have the PCM apart and Im cleaning the connector. Can I leave the PCM out over nite cause its 8pm, dark and Im over it for now.

PCM can stay out. No different than if you pull both battery cables over night.

Thx guys. All sorted. Installed, truck running, no SES light and the high idle code works a treat. Havent tacken it for a run yet. Still have Riffraff's OCR and Maytec diff cover to do. BTW for future reference, there isnt enough cable for a right hand drive.

How did you handle this? I'm sure Jody can and will make you a longer one if possible.

I agree. Figure out how much more cable you need and get with Clay if that's where you got the DP. I'm sure Clay and Jody will come up with something that will work for the guys who have the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Dont worry m8. I mounted the usb port on one of the spare holes on top of the plastic PCM cover. Just when you get a flood of Aussie orders after I tell every one bout the DP, keep it in mind. You need a good 5 " to mount it nest to the OBDII port. Our dash is one complete mold until you get to the fuse panel. So it cant be removed.

That's cool, but you have the best tuner, might as well have it done right, even if you drive from the wrong side. lol

You got that right bro. A "BIG" diference to the Edge I had. Instant power and great gear change. I have only run the 80eco for now.
One quickie. Im only getting 18PSI boost @ 2700 rpm. Is that right. And no I dont have any boost leaks. I have gone over her with a fine toothed comb and just about changed everything in the process.

I see 58 pretty often, lol

Anyways, jody makes a longer cord already, when he put th f5 in the gauge thingy he then made a longer cord for if you put it in a guage pod above the rear veiw mirror or the pod below the dash, I think it is 6 or 8 feet long actually, i had one back when i ran dp
