As far as I know there is no available laptop or PC software available to
manipulate the programming of the PCM.
Only a company such as Superchips makes a programmer, that can reprogram the
PCM with a set table of adjustment.
Thwe Superchips programmer can also double as a scan tool to pull and erase
the code if one comes up......
We have them at www.muscletrucks.net for $319.00 plus shipping
or you can purchase a scan tool at AZ for $150.00.
Laptop software for code retrieval is available at:
the e-mail address for sales is sales@obd-2.com
this includes a cable for connecting the laptop to the diagnostic port under
the steering column, and the required software.
All you need is a cheap laptop computer and your in business.
