Should I re-install the Steve Cole programming???
Just got the car from the dealer after they installed a new PCM. Trouble is I have the 3.42's and it was flashed back to 2.73 gears. Will it hurt to drive the car with the factory programming untill I decide if I want to go with LS1 Edit?????

It won't hurt it, but it might not drive perfectly. I think your mileage on the car will be off, if I am correct, you might be putting more miles on your odometer than you actually drive. I have a PL right now and just added 3.42's to replace my 3.15's which are 8.5 % differentcve so for every 100 miles I drive I put on 108.5 miles. In your case 2.73 to 3.42 is 20% so you will add even more. I am not 100% sure on this, but I think that is correct.

The early PPLII were not locked
Maybe someone knows when the cutoff date is ?

Install it... :yesnod: So your car can drive like before.
If you get LS-1 edit, just get it flashed back to stock before the editing.

ahhh HOLY HELL Bob :(.........that sux :smash:
I've had the PL for almost 2 years and actually almost forgot about the "lock out" issues.....may not be able to pick the car up tomorrow, but we'll know early am what the scoop is :)
If need be, I have it reflashed then start fresh with Mike's tuning :)
