Default Gear change reprogramming?

I have replaced my 2.73 gears with 3.42 gears. I now hit the rev-limiter before upshift. The PCM needs to be reprogrammed. Living here in Iowa " fly-over country " I do not know where to get this done. Any ideas?

You may want to look for a preowned handheld tuner...I'm fairly certain your issue can be remedied with one of those, but you may want to search here and do some fact finding on that first.

any local speedshop that has tuning capability should be able to do it.

also, a Diablosport Predator handheld will make necessary changes.

Mail order tune or superchips tuner is the cheapest way. I bought a superchips for 149.00 at the bay and programed mine until i could find a dyno tune facility. If you buy a used handheld make sure it has been unlocked or it will not work on your car

ECS mail order tune. I think they are still $150.00.
