Status: offline I'm thinking about getting a hypertech power programmer 3 for my blazer. My friend has one he is selling so I can get it really cheap. I was wondering if these things are hard on transmissions?? I know they change shift points, would that cause any negative effects to the trans?? _____________________________ '00 Chevy Blazer, Red, 2door, 4x4, Auto Post #: 1

RE: hypertech - 1/18/2006 11:44:18 PM    ivannj Posts: 321 Joined: 11/2/2005 Status: offline Ok here's the scoop. I bought one for my blazer on ebay for 200 bucks (gots to make sure the hypertech program is installed back into the hypertech for it to work on other trucks). The Programmer 3 extends the life of your transmission by changing the firmness of the shift. As your truck is now the tranny shift really smooth and in actually makes the clutch work or slip more wearing down the clutch. When you change the frimness of the tranny it will have less slip and therefore less wear on the clutch. Also the progammer changes the shift points. So instead of changing gears at early or low rpms it will change it at a higher rpm. This will save you gas and time of your 1/4 mile. It feels like you are driving stick awesome. The programmer is the best upgrade besides the gibson exhuast. _____________________________ 97 Blazer LS 4wd 4.3l 2dr 71,000 miles E-fan, Low Drag Pullies, Intake, Gibson Exhuast, B&M Deep Tranny Pan, B&M Shift Plus, Hypertech Tuner, TB Spacer (in reply to RedBlaze) Post #: 3

Hypertech Programmers 'marry' themselves to the first PCM they update. _____________________________ Kyle- 04 Rainier My Restoration Projects Please Do Not PM for Tech Help (in reply to ivannj) Post #: 6

RE: hypertech - 1/19/2006 2:04:22 PM    ivannj Posts: 321 Joined: 11/2/2005 Status: offline Section 3 in the instructions of the Hypertech You may return your vehicle's computer to its stock programming at any time after using your Power Proggrammer plus. Once this is done, the Power Proggrammer Plus may be used on another vehicle. I took this out of the instructions to clarify any doubt that the Power programmer could only be used by one vehicle. I bough one used off ebay. The thing is when buying one used is that the program has to be taken off the truck and install the original back on the truck. In otherwords the Hypertech Programmer need to be uninstalled off the truck or it will not work. _____________________________ 97 Blazer LS 4wd 4.3l 2dr 71,000 miles E-fan, Low Drag Pullies, Intake, Gibson Exhuast, B&M Deep Tranny Pan, B&M Shift Plus, Hypertech Tuner, TB Spacer (in reply to RedBlaze) Post #: 7

Still, be aware that if the original owner did not remove it from their truck, it will be inoperative when you get it. _____________________________ Kyle- 04 Rainier My Restoration Projects Please Do Not PM for Tech Help (in reply to ivannj) Post #: 8
