Cm871 hammering, poor thing

[Rawze]

like waterloo said.. get yourself an inline adapter and get a laptop set up for working on that engine... it will be the best investment you ever made with it .. and keep it away from the idiot tuners who want $thousands to tune on that thng... the proper and safe tuning files necessary for the 871 are on the internet for free... he is trying to take you for all your worth!. Even if you wanted to pay someone to do it right, it should not have been more than a few hundred bucks at best for the ecm work... but even so, unless you know exactly what someone has done ... line for line in the programming, then your dooming that engine into an agonizing death.

* Replace sensors and do an engine tune-up on it.
* adjust the overhead valves and inspect the cams.
* Do the injector tests and other tests and stuff mentioned mentioned above.

* get Insite and an adapter.... copy the program out of the ecm and e-mail it to me. Walik-thru instructions are easily found on how to copy program out of ecm once you get the adapter and software up and going.. most truck owners can figure out how to do this themselves, it is not that hard. Once you have a copy of the program that is in the ecm and e-mail it to me, I will tell you exactly what you have and where to go from there as far as programming goes. Don't rule out mechanical issues, but with engine vibrations like your describing, it very well could be a programming issue. You need to at least do this as a minimum towards solving your problems.

- Who knows if that idiot changed anything without you knowing about it. - After e-mailing it to me, I can also tell you what program it has and needs after looking at what is in there. You should also post a couple few pictures of the engine cover sticker that shows the details and CPL of that reman engine.

Also.. will it do a parked regen if someone connects to it with an adapter and insite and tells it to do one?.

-- Owning a modern engine these days requires having the software to talk to it. otherwise your at the mercy of the over-priced and rip-offs out there that will take you for all your worth every time there is a hiccup.
