: LMM PPE race tun problems!
gotboost 12-08-2007, 11:11 PM Can't keep the tires from spinning! it's awesome! spins 38.5" pro comps at 30mph like you're on ice. Bad ass tuner. So bad that I am lowering my truck just to go faster! anyone in the market for a 12" cognito?
thanks Dan @ PPE:D
NBMSS 12-09-2007, 03:05 AM Glad to hear good info on the PPE. I just ordered one and will be installing it Monday. Wish I could help you out with the lift.
Dan@PPE 12-09-2007, 08:27 PM Nice........
How much for the lift?????
gotboost 12-09-2007, 08:35 PM Nice........
How much for the lift?????
cognito 10-12" lift with the following options:
-heavy duty 1.5" cognito front swaybar
-optional cv front driveshaft
-dual fox brushed aluminum remote reservoir front shocks (4 front shocks)
-fox rear shocks
-12 billet blue anodized fox shock reservoir clamps
-pinion angle shims
-brake lines
-torsion bar keys
-atlas 9" rear springs
I am keeping the weld in idler pivot assembly and the pitman support, keeping the rear u bolts, also keeping the cognito upper control arms, keeping the allison shifter bracket (just an older gm bracket to for the cv front driveshaft to clear the shifter linkage)
4 chrome kmc 20"x10" rockstar wheels with different centers (threw away those ugly plastic centers they come with)
4 pro comp 38.5x14.50-20 x terrain radials approx. 70% tread left
can provide pics of the parts on the truck now, we are removing the lift the weekend of december 22. lift will be ready for pick up or ship then, prefer pick up. Cash only if picking up, if shipping bank check. no paypal.
$4500 gets it all, possible partial atv trades, we are an atv salvage.
Located in Masontown, PA 15461, about an hour south of Pittsburgh, Pa, 20 minutes from Morgantown, WV
Dan, when is a LMM turbo going to be available?

Anyone else run this tune???
lbbest 12-09-2007, 10:11 PM Dan,
I just loaded My race tune and I'm still throwing two codes and the CEL is still on HELP!!!
gotboost 12-09-2007, 10:15 PM Dan,
I just loaded My race tune and I'm still throwing two codes and the CEL is still on HELP!!!
I am in the same boat, light is still on and no remote start:mad:, but the performance is AWESOME:D
Dan@PPE 12-09-2007, 11:50 PM What codes are you guys seeing??? Please post them and the version number on the boot up screens.
gotboost 12-10-2007, 12:04 AM What codes are you guys seeing??? Please post them and the version number on the boot up screens.
mine was version 2.31, code was 0650 malfunction indicator lamp control circuit, any ideas on that Dan? I don't think it has anything do with the dpf, the dpf codes are programmed out.
gotboost 12-10-2007, 12:11 AM figured out my code, nothing to do with the PPE! the PPE does it's job and does eliminate the check engine light. my code is from me messing with my cluster (took it apart and put some playdough over the damn abs/brake lights since they come on with the lift and 4.56 gears) time to find a new cluster.
Dan@PPE 12-10-2007, 12:25 AM Dan, when is a LMM turbo going to be available?
When do you want it????:D
gotboost 12-10-2007, 12:30 AM When do you want it????:D

lbbest 12-10-2007, 12:54 AM I have version 2.31 11/25 and the two codes are 2455 and 0546

Meeko 12-10-2007, 03:39 PM DAN, I was filling out the paperwork to send off the tuner for the upgrade and the update form says the serial number is on the back and mine doesnt have any numbers on it. What should I do??

Man thats a very bad problem. Does PPE do tire swaps.

We offer NO warranty on tires...... LOL
Days Chevy 4x4 12-12-2007, 06:44 PM Hmm... My Maxenergy does not seem to do the things you all are talking about here... How Much$$$?
JunkTruck 12-12-2007, 07:44 PM I also just installed the PPE level 4 " offroad tune" on my "off road" truck with a magnaflow exhaust straight piped.
WOO HOO
I want to go to level 6 but the tranny will probably cave in or explode.
PPE did right by me. They did everything they said they would and I am completely satisfied. I cannot say enough about this company. Great customer service, and this excelerator is awsome.
Dan and Doug are top notch.
Remember order before midnight so you don't forget.
fire0021 12-12-2007, 09:17 PM level 6 there is no level 6 tune tht i know of is there new one ? my tuner goes to 5 only
06Dmaxpwr 12-12-2007, 09:34 PM level 6 there is no level 6 tune tht i know of is there new one ? my tuner goes to 5 only
You can get an update with the new levels up to 7 levels. You just need to send it in along with a small fee. From what I hear it is AMAZING....... Talk to Dan he will get you taked care of.
I might just have to add PPE again to my pile.
bblldogg02 12-13-2007, 08:06 PM Dan ....Do any of the tunes for the LMM give it any better millege?
Tigeman 12-14-2007, 01:32 AM The lvl 1 and 4 seem to give the best mileage. In my experience the lvl 4 gives the best.
I don't know about any of the race tunes though.
shredder 12-14-2007, 10:51 AM Running my lmm on the race 6 and will need tires soon. Thanks Dan. Do you guys think we can get a group buy on tires ?
07 LMM LTZ 12-14-2007, 06:12 PM What kind of mileage is evertone getting with the PPE tuners. I'm only getting 13mpg around town I wanted to see if the programmer would help.
gotboost 12-14-2007, 06:52 PM 12.9mpg with 38 1/2" tires and 4.56 gears running the balls off of it
bblldogg02 12-14-2007, 10:01 PM I am getting about 19mpg on tune 1 and loose about 1mpg on tune 2....have tried anything over that yet! Anyone else any input!
fire0021 12-14-2007, 10:15 PM level 4 will net ur best mpg . well as long as you keeo your foot out of it
lbbest 12-15-2007, 11:37 AM Dan,
Thanks for the help yesterday the tuner should be there monday

At 30 MPH your spinning tires that are 38.5. Im calling BS. Unless your doing it on ice or a gravel road. While its raining Ok Ill buy that.
I have 37 inch tires. Now dont get me wrong I have a QUAD. I have tried all tunes and at 30 MPH roll cannot get the results your talking.
Must mean Quads are no good. Should of bought a PPE:rolleyes::rolleyes:

since winning an argument on the internet is like winning the special olimpics I won't even get into this, junk your QUAD and buy a ppe.:cool:
squaredaway2 12-16-2007, 10:51 AM I wont argue just bring on the video.:D
gotboost 12-16-2007, 10:56 AM sure, come film it, some people have a life and aren't trolls on forums

The Quadzilla Stealth II on it's highest setting for the LMM's gets you to about 400 rwhp and 800 rwtq or so. Very nice improvement over stock. That PPE race tune he has is closer to 500 rwhp and 1000 rwtq. I'm guessing the extra power makes a difference.... :D
Jody
squaredaway2 12-16-2007, 11:16 AM So now I get called names? And I have no life? Im a Troll. HMM
Im just stating my Quad and Lmm with smaller tires will not do this. I have a hard time believing your results.
So if your only response is to start calling people names. Maybe you should step up and prove your results.
Hell Ill go buy a PPE today.
lbbest 12-16-2007, 11:49 AM I would like to see it too and I HAVE a PPE, I'm sure that the suncoast makes all the difference in the world to getting the power to the ground.
JunkTruck 12-16-2007, 12:30 PM I haven't tried spinning the tires (too expensive) but this tuner is worth every penny to me. I was getting 15-16 mpg hand calculated as a "on road" truck. Now as a "off road" truck on the same trip I get 18-19 mpg on level 1 at 75 mph. Also I am in Fl and the roads are all flat.

abcdefg3 12-16-2007, 12:37 PM JunkTruck,
What are the six levels? Thanks
abcdefg3 12-16-2007, 12:38 PM Camcojb,
Thanks for the info on the quad..Saves me the dyno...
ps. everyone needs to take a timeout
fire0021 12-16-2007, 01:02 PM um who says tht the ppe tuner is 500 rwhp has it gone on the dyno yet just curious becuae the the level 5 tune i tested ran 420 rwhp 740 or so tqo i know there is a 6-7 tune suposadley but havent herd any results form it yet
Tigeman 12-16-2007, 02:09 PM Fire,
I saw your dyno post the other day and was a bit shocked... as we already had one member post up his results of his PPE and his LMM. On LVL 4 alone, his results were 441 hp and 878 torque ... w/ the DPF intact.
http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=194838&highlight=PPE+dyno
Obviously different trucks are gonna produce different power w/ the different tunes, but man that's a big swing. Guess that's where the dyno comes in.
fire0021 12-16-2007, 11:27 PM honestley i dont think 440 with the dpf could be made with tht tuner on level 4 i know those where the dyno results tht rbp got when they tested there exaust and ppe programer on level 4 tht was with no dpf i made 3 pulls with tht level 5 tune and it made 420-422 on all 3 runs and tq pretty much stayed the same. soo duno theres only one lmm i know of right now tht has made over 500 rwhp and 3 others tht are 496-499 but all with efi tuneing. not saying it cant be with ppe just havent seen it yet
jrad12381 12-16-2007, 11:53 PM Who got the 500 rwhp.....they may be my new hero.ahahaha....hopefully I will be there soon, very soon.
marksrt43 12-16-2007, 11:58 PM honestley i dont think 440 with the dpf could be made with tht tuner on level 4 i know those where the dyno results tht rbp got when they tested there exaust and ppe programer on level 4 tht was with no dpf i made 3 pulls with tht level 5 tune and it made 420-422 on all 3 runs and tq pretty much stayed the same. soo duno theres only one lmm i know of right now tht has made over 500 rwhp and 3 others tht are 496-499 but all with efi tuneing. not saying it cant be with ppe just havent seen it yet
Your PCM must be "dirty" I know PPE's tunes will not load right over other particles left by others, and you will for sure not get the max power / benefits in that case..............
jrad12381 12-17-2007, 12:10 AM Ummm Im going with the difference in dynos and dyno operators.
Tigeman 12-17-2007, 12:15 AM So your saying Bartman is full of crap huh?
Perhaps we should point out that a dyno can be made to read however someone wants.
Which works both ways.... could be made to make one tuner show weak #'s or even read way high.
What was your stock #'s? That should be our reference. As 420 on LVL 5 sure seems way low from all the other LMM's I've seen dyno'd. Most I've seen are averaging 420 on lvl 4. And the fact that your tranny is built should def. mean your putting the power to the ground. I'm just wondering if your stock #'s are lower than most. So far 6 of the LMM's I've seen dyno'd are averaging 310 stock. Lowest I've seen was 305 and the highest being 335.
marksrt43 12-17-2007, 01:04 AM PPE told me that if you have had other programmer type products previously installed in your engine computer (PCM) prior to installing their tuner you may not get the full power output from your truck, since some of the other progammers may not put the PCM back to completely stock even though it says it did...
They said if you think this might have happened you can always go to a GM Dealer and get the truck truely reprogramed back to stock at a GM dealership.
fire0021 12-17-2007, 01:11 AM dirrty pcm hugh ? so if i i have the same eact tune in efi its still the tune ? or dirty ecm and no i have nothing to gain or loose by posting false numbers thts why i gave every thing i tested 3 runs. i dont know wht my tuck dynoed stock because with all the tunes i was testing i forgot to run it . but if tht where the case tht my tuck dynoed low then my numbers would be even better then the 496 we hit. i tested on westecs dyno where mcrat and alot of others test there trucks. so if your refering tht we changed our numbers to suit some agenda your wayy offf. i would of change my own numbers to read well over 500 not the honest 496 we put down . jrad pm sent
marksrt43 12-17-2007, 01:18 AM I don't know about what issues your efi programmer could have caused,
I would say your best bet would be to call PPE and they could maybe help you with your situation...
Tigeman 12-17-2007, 12:28 PM dirrty pcm hugh ? so if i i have the same eact tune in efi its still the tune ? or dirty ecm and no i have nothing to gain or loose by posting false numbers thts why i gave every thing i tested 3 runs. i dont know wht my tuck dynoed stock because with all the tunes i was testing i forgot to run it . but if tht where the case tht my tuck dynoed low then my numbers would be even better then the 496 we hit. i tested on westecs dyno where mcrat and alot of others test there trucks. so if your refering tht we changed our numbers to suit some agenda your wayy offf. i would of change my own numbers to read well over 500 not the honest 496 we put down . jrad pm sent
No no no... I wasn't saying you did that at all. But what I was saying is that maybe your truck's stock #'s are really low. And that maybe that EFI live tune will put most guys well over 500.
fire0021 12-17-2007, 01:06 PM oh ok got ya could be. i do know some one else actually did dyno the same tune and did a 500+ run but they also hav a straight piped truck i still have my muffler. trappinga little hp
