Passed!

Cause they changed the programming.

Handling is not a programming issue but a suspension issue. Any reprogramming will have zero impact on how the vehicle handles.

Mine passed too and has 39k on it. I had already switched oil as soon as the notices started coming out. I am kinda bummed bc I had planned to add the supercharger kit to it but now have to play it safe and not go that route.

I'm still throwing my whipple on next month. Took it in to Stevinson and the SW said there was no extended warranty for mine, "warranties after the recall get handled on a case by case basis"

I pass 5 other GM dealers to go to these guys for my service but not anymore.

You gotta break 50 mph before you can talk about handling tho. Mine handles differently when the Randge module was installed, it handles differently when I'm in tow haul mode, it handles differently in 4x4, and it handles differently when I'm banging on the paddles at higher rpms. All of which are controlled by a vast amount of electronic sensors, ECU programming, and driver inputs........change the parameters, get different results.......engineering 101!

The suspension is not electronically controlled. I guess it depends on what you consider "handling" to be. To me, handling is 100% suspension related and has nothing to do with the ECU, TCM, etc.

Yeah, we definitely have a different perspective, cause its the chassis, its the axles, its the bearings, its the driveline, its your tires/wheels, its your seats, it's your steering stem, steering wheel, and its your steering linkage.....and on and on.

I guess I've drove and modified so many things in my life, I've come to realize even the simplest things can change how a vehicle performs. I never rejetted a carb or an reprogrammed an ecu and didn't feel a difference in how the vehicle "felt" or "handled".

I can guarantee you my truck handled differently when I left the dealer after the new ECU and reflash, especially with the DFM module removed. The transmission also has to relearn the if the ecu has changed at all. But now it just feels "normal".

You "feel" everthing if you're that guy. If you're not, thats OK too.

There is a HUGE difference between "driving" differently and "handling" differently. You made my point above as what you're referring to is the drive and not the handling

I knew exactly what he was asking and it sure as hell wasn't about shocks.
You're one-dimensional....... I'm not! I know a lot of guys that have tunnel vision just like you. It's my job to step back, look at the big picture and put it into perspective for those that can't.

Look at my first post after I installed the DFM module, it was specifally stating the difference in handling and feel.... for the better because it affected the programming. Exactly what he was asking. Yes it handles differently when the programming changes...... it always will and shocks are just a part of it.
