It would appear clear, but would show up the minute I turned the key, even without truck started. I tore everything apart looking for it. When I went to the dyno he said the code wasn't present, even though my handheld (innova 3130c) showed it present, and permanent. In the manual it doesn't explain the permanent thing either. I'm curious also. Since the tune I haven't had it occur again. Just the other issue.

Oh, and if it's not too much trouble, would you post your video? I would love to see it but am not as socially advanced as you. I don't have an Instagram or Facebook acct. that is just more stuff to distract me!!

I need to get HPTuners so I can really see what is going on. My daughter's boyfriend did the instagram thing. I'll try to figure it out so I can post a video.

So...I bought HPTuners...the same program my tuner uses. This allows me to use the scan feature and send it to him, and he sends me back a modified file to install. Makes tunes fairly painless and is teaching me about controlling it myself...for future projects.

I can highly recommend this....regardless of what program is involved...LS1Edit, HPTuners, EFILive, etc. HPTuners wasn't too expensive either (my tuner also sells them and gave me a discount)...around $500? Now GM tech II is a different thing altogether.
Thanks for the input. I need to get the HPT also. Do you think your tuner would hook me up with the program also?
