How To P59 Gen 3 Tuning + Truck Norris Tune Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video, we breakdown the issues of the previous tune and I go through how to read and flash a P59 2003-2007 Classic GM Truck without bricking the ecm. I also show you how to diagnose a failing DBW throttle body.

    Thanks for the great info, I pretty much work on just Gen 3 and 4, new to tuning and never heard of removing those fuses. Might be why I have bricked a spare PCM, keep them coming

    Love the content man, I just picked up a Mpvi3 a couple months ago and have been learning since. Also couldn’t the delayed start also be a fuel pump check valve failure, my truck I have to wait on ignition for a couple seconds then it will start. If I just put the key and and turn it over it does exactly what that truck did, and if I turned it right after starts right up. Not saying your wrong either. :)

    Thank you! Yes, fuel pressure issues can cause the delayed start, but this one is for sure the cam sensor. That pop at the end of cranking tells me that. It’s hard to hear on video but I think I have a good video of it doing it in tomorrow’s video.

    Matt, if we are tuning these p59 computers and just writing new files, what precautions do we need to take to ensure “bricking” doesn’t happen.

    Been learning alot from your videos but probubly would take me forever to tune half as good. Was wondering how much you would charge to make and sent me a tune file for a 225 cam, 3000 stall, long headers, cold ram air intake, stock new 4l60e, engine is an lm7. That is if you do offer remote tuning.

    In some P59 applications it does help. I have an XS Power charger that’s specifically designed for flashing ECMs and it helps. I also don’t have this issue in P59 Corvettes, P59 GTOs, and P59 swapped vehicles. I have this issue specifically with 03-06 trucks. The more power options the truck has, the worse it gets. I don’t have the issues on a RCSB base model truck with manual windows as much as I do with a crew cab leather truck with power everything and Bose. I also have this issue more, the newer the HPtuners interface that I use. MPVI3+ is wayyyy worse at doing this versus an MPVI2 or MPVI.

    That's hilarious. My green plug on my ECU was filled with oil. Got an lm4 out of an 03 trailblazer ext from someone on Facebook marketplace and it came with the harness and PCM and TAC module and everything. I ended up going with a standalone harness from HPI. Anyways. I unplugged the PCM and the green plug was filled with oil. I was very curious how that even happened. I've started my engine a few times on the stand and the oil pressure sensor isn't leaking or anything. Interesting though.

    It’s hit or miss honestly. MPVI1 cables didn’t seem to have an issue. MPVI2 and MPVI3 interfaces have issues more often than not. I would rather show everyone this way that way they are aware of the issue and the best procedure versus having them risk bricking their ECM.

    Hey man I need help I have a 2005 gmc Sierra cammed and good heads and built 65e, it’s on a mail order base tune currently but for some reason when I start it in the morning it drives perfectly fine but when the thermostat opens and gets to temp my truck will shift to 2nd gear and stay in 2nd no matter what, only way around it is to pull over and restart it then it shifts super hard but shifts through all the gears like it should except I can’t get it to stay in 1st gear over like 10 mph even if I have it in “1”on the column shifter it will just shift to 2nd which sucks for burnouts because it will light up in 1st gear for 1 second then shift to 2nd where as before I could spin them through 1st for 20feet then shift to 2nd and keep spinning But only thing I could think of is my battery not giving the tranny enough power because I don’t think the battery I have is the right size but currently I have no codes except for my cats being gone. Sorry so long thanks for your help if you see this man.

    It is highly recommended to have one even if you have one just in case. I just linked one in my description that’s $35. But no, it’s not required. You just have to read on Low Speed and make sure you have a battery charger on it. Also you will want to disconnect any aftermarket wiring.
