VATs may be your issue if you wrote a file that was not original to your truck. There will be a fault code logged for this if you look at active faults with a scan tool. If this is actually the case a passlock relearn must be completed or you can just disable VATs within the bin file before writing the file to the PCM. Here is a link on how to perform the relearn. Used the passlock procedure. Do not use the passkey 2 or 3 procedure. www.cardone.com/content/Products/PT77-0011.pdf

I probably didn’t mention it in the video because that was a 2004 I was working on with but on the 99-02 you need to find the Auto_Recirculation_Option table and uncheck the box for it. Factory settings use pin 33 to control the recirculate door. Unchecking it changes settings over to fan control from that pin. That would be high speed fan though not low speed. You would then have to replace the a/c high pressure 2 wire switch with a 3 wire high pressure sensor and wire it to the pcm pin 45 in connector 1 and the pins 14 and 80 in connector 2 to get the fans working fully functional with the A/C.

I noticed in some of your saved tune files there are notes about "lean cruise". I'm using HP Tuners (currently trying to un-brick my P59 after trying my very first flash that failed), and I know HPT doesn't let you mess with the settings to enable it... I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction for enabling this feature, as it's one of the main reasons I'm beginning to learn tuning. PCM Hammer plus another tuning program? Any insight would be greatly appreciated (and a video would be even better!)

Here is the link to the lean cruise patch. It only works with the 7603 operating system so if your pcm is running another you would have to swap over. Once you open the bin file and the patch xdf you apply the patch the save the bin. You will then have to do an entire write with the new bin file. Once the entire write is complete any changes to the lean cruise stuff will work. pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7762

I basically save a base file before I make any changes. Then I save a file every time I make a change. Usually rewriting the previous file works but I have had to rewrite the original file first to get it unlocked then rewrite the previous file. If it’s a stock untouched pcm and you haven’t even been able to get the file read and saved it may be an issue with your OBD tool or a power supply issue. From what I remember you must be a certain point just over 12 volts.

Honestly my stock truck came factory with a fan clutch and after installing electric fans I went back and just dropped the fan settings down several degrees. Fan 1 I set the low to 210f and high to 215f. I set the Fan 2 low to 215 and the high to 220. I just type F to C in the google search and a conversion calculator pulls up at the top of search list. Just enter what temp you want in F and it tells you the temperature in C. Just play with the temp settings if need be. If you find your fans stay on excessively you can always raise the temps back up some.

I run the mechanical fan now but if I ever switch I'll have a good idea what needs to change now! I do plan on adding vintage air to mine so I suspect that I'll have to let the system know its on, and then to increase the idle a little. I'll cross that bridge when necessary though.

The motor was in rough shape so I sold it to recoupe some of the money I spent on the setup. It worked out good overall since I have a spare set of 862 heads, pcm and full harness, and that intake from it still. So flashing blue/green and blue/red you can use your same bench harness right?

Nice to live in Tennessee I'm sure, beats this cold weather up here. Can't imagine living in the UP. Now that I know universal patcher doesnt need the xdf files I'm assuming removing vats from any gen 3 pcm should work, right? I'm on the same page as you, I want to tune for best fuel economy though I think my truck should do outstanding. With the 4l60e and a 2:73 rear gear, it turns under 1900 at 80 mph but I don't go faster then 75 so its even lower and feels good. It doesnt down shift climbing these tiny hills we have here.

Just to change the VIN you would be better off using either PCM hammer or LSDroid instead. Also if you are having trouble disabling VATs just open your bin in Universal Patcher and search for VTD which is the vats setting and disable it. No need for an XDF if you are using Universal Patcher. I have a small video on it already.
