I just sent off an email to Steve but thought someone here might know.

I just installed the Extreme and toggle switch. When I went to do the learn process via the instructions the truck started the first time! The instructions indicate steps 1-4 must be performed 3 times and truck should start on 4th try. I don't get any security indicator or anything. Yes, I installed the Extreme ECM and not my OEM ECM :)

How do the switch positions work? 80, 120 (middle), 200 ?

Middle is 80. I found on my 120 was down from the small notch and 200 is up towards the small notch in the threads.

I never went through a security learn process. I think that is one reason to have the vin.

Anyone got a bottle of smile remover I can borrow? :)

Just back from short test drive ...had my 6 yr old son with me ...we're both still smiling. Can here it now when the wife gets home "Mom, you should have seen what Dad/I were doing in his truck! ..."

It was a short drive ... did a couple mame and kill launches down on a country road. I think a farmer jumped off his tractor when he saw all the smoke :) My 295's bite pretty good but had no problem torching them.

What's the best way to launch without killing my new Stage V :) Power braking can't be a good thing ...it has to be a killer on the torque converter? I know I need lift pump. Looking for some launch advice.
Still smiling ...

Smile remover..................... open hood remove Xtreme ECM. :eek:

Glad you like the results, just remember it causes loss of rear tire life, broken parts, and ear to ear $hit eaten grins. :D Sooner or later you will find what the middle switch position is for but that may take a few weeks. :grd:

Well I know if I ever get a set of tires I don't like I now have a fast way to wear them out quickly. Raining now, funs over.

BTW, bio diesel throws a pretty good cloud too. Probably less then #2 though.

$2.50/gallon? That's cheap and almost worthwhile for me to drive from Oregon to Conn to fill up :) Right at $2.84 here (Oregon) right now. -:t Perhaps I will be using that middle position ... If an Extreme were available for VW TDI's I'd be driving my wifes car.
