Default pcmforless for 94

I am going to have my fans reprogrammed to come on earlier with my 160 t-stat. Is there anything else I should have reprogrammed along with the fans? Thanx for any imput-Jim

Do it yourself for the cost of sending it out. Buy the cable, Tunercat can be used for 30 days free (you just need to buy the 20.00 profile). So for 50-60.00 for the cables and 20.00 for the profile you can do it yourself. Then if you need to do anything else in the future you can just pay for the tunercat license and do all you want.

By the way if you have a 6-speed I'd ask them to disable the CAGS skip shift at the same time. (or you can do it if you go with my suggestion)

I haven't done any reprogramming since last year but will be going out to do a few things in the next week or so and will take screenshots for you to show you how to lower the temp your fans kick in and post back in this thread.

160° thermostat is too cold. Do not go any lower than 180°.
