so whens the 2010+ vb coming out??:lol::spin:

it was a joke..... feel like i has to explains on teh intranet

How do you guys with Nexus 7s find the battery? does it stay charged, or slowly deplete over time? I'm finding that I need to plug mine in every few weeks as the battery drains slowly to 0. Not sure if this is normal, or if I should be looking at getting tasker to kill some more processes when I turn the car off. plugging it in is a pain as I have to pull apart the dash

You have a charger hooked up to it using the 12v plug so it's always charging when the cars on

thanks, took me some time to think about how it works:lol: i know the rear has clutches but never thought about welding it...

i understand how it works now:)

I think it is time for a 2007+ valve body update. We haven't had one in say, months.

Great... Cause you brought it up it's delayed by 2 more months:lol:

This is the part where I'm at right now. I might just take it to a machine shop and see what they say . One of my neighbors came to the door and complained about the noise I was making .

just say, ok i'll wait till you are sleeping:lol:

^ my signature:wub:

are you jelly??

wait... saw you have an 08, the hard shift is fine. its actually good cause you want hard shifting and your engine/trans speed is the same for that shift. It shifted hard because its 1st gear and possible high rpms. the shift was hard to 'ensure' its in gear and wont slip

unless it was one of those funky times when your still on the gas and downshifted and the car didnt rev match and clunked into gear....

noob question

how do you tighten the steel straps? There seems to be some play and cant get them super tight like zip ties

my non straight cutting, feels like the steel straps can slip off over time

edit:nevermind, i actually took time to read farfrumworks post:lol:

I bought a cable/zip tie gun from harbor freight for $9 and plastic zip ties w/ metal locking clips, we'll see how that goes. the gun supposedly can put up tp 90lbs of tension on the cable tie. the cable tie i bought supports 50lbs of tension/preload - one of those:lol:, and the gun does not work w/ stainless steel ties

Is the TSB you mentioned 16-72-07? How long did the whole process take for you and how much did the stealership charge?

I was still under warranty and this was done like 1.5 years ago, so i dont really remember:lol:

really it doesnt take very long. pull in the car to the bay, plug in ssm, read and flash, test drive it, then you drive off

the TSB said .5 hours, so no more then 30min (when they take in your car, if they are not busy)

So let's say they charge $90/hr, half of that is $45 for the flash. IF this doesnt fix it, ask if you can bring it back later to reset the tcu learned parameters. Some are nice and say bring it back and we'll do it free of charge (since you already brought it in) some may be jerks and charge you a second time

Bring in the TSB, knowing information IMO makes them less of jerks (never had a jerk problem though :/ always had good experiences with dealers). I brought in the TSB, explained what was going on, and was super simple and fast:) no BS talk to me or fluff info added

I have a 08 LGT and have a harsh shift from 2nd to 3rd gear. Read about some members bringing it to the stealership for a TCU Reset and relearn. Any comments on the results?

There are 2 'options,' depending what is required from the dealer

1. There is a TSB on this harsh shift, and the update may or may not fix this problem. If it doesn't, dealer will require the car to be brought back for more inspection after putting a few miles on the car.

2. If (1) has been performed, the TCU will need to be set to 'learn' this will erase all programmed data.

I can say from experience, #1 did not work, and #2 worked. Well... #2 worked because there was a error code but no check engine light.

shift it over to manual mode and when cruising, manually downshift, pay attention when you command the downshift, you are going to feel or notice 1 of 2 things:

when it downshifts to the lower gear, it clunks/jerks (like you stab on the brake momentarily)

or

when you downshift, the engine revs during the shift then is in the lower gear. if you are not on the brake, it will feel relatively smooth

if you still dont know, post a video on here with the downshifting. one of us can figure it out

1st one is the current model ClimberD can do the mod

2nd one ClimberD is still working on the mod

Dude are you stage 1 or something? Super slowwwwww. Good shifts thooooooo. I finished my cereal by the time you hit 80

naw we're just used to seeing gt40 and naaaawwws w/ these 5eats:lol:

I wondered how you came by my email address since I hadn't given it to you.

when you click on the username, you can send PM or send email

Was more trying to be funny.

 

I'm watching doccrowley's video and drooling over what you can do with the 08+

dont worry ours will be better;)

Hey maaaan hold out for hexmods. I just dynoed my stock 5eat with a 20g and it was fine. Just lay off the wot shifting. Im holding out till its avail

:lol:theres not many places to WOT since theres a stop light like everywhere:lol:

wont even get past 2nd gear:lol:
