Oh man I hate going to the dealer! I know there are going to try and charge me. This sucks because I cannot afford to pay an hour labor. This is supposed to be free right??

I really want this update to. Since April I have had the Stage reflash and the CEL was never illuminated, but saturday I checked my system with my friends TEC 2 and I had
P0171 and P0103 MAF High resistance stored so I want to see if this tune helps with this and the 1st to 2nd shift bog.

That's what you tell them.
And you want the latest software available cause you aren't really happy the way it is for the money you spent.

I have an appiontment Monday to get this new reflash. The tech is trying to charge me for it and I told him no friggin way buddy. This is a fix from GM not a performance upgrade. So he said in that case I need preliminary numbers and TSB numbers, the whole nine. I said no problem I will bring in print-outs and BTW you're not charging me for it.
How can they ask a customer to bring in all of this info? What kind of crap is that?
I hate chevy dealerships. Now what if I wasn't a car guy and had no idea where to find this info you know? Thank god for cobaltss.net!

thats so true, if i wasnt into cars and didnt know a thing or 2 and just got this car for everyday simple driving and occasional fun i wouldnt know what the hell was goin on, DO NOT PAY FOR IT, it is a fix for cobalts equipped with the stage kits, bring the print outs those are straight from gm!

I have a couple of questions, for distillion, Oni, Badmunkey, or anyone else who knows
Mine will be going in for this today,, which numbers are you guys giving your dealers?
I have the entire other thread printed out to take with me,, but what are they looking for?
the doc# 1861176 or was it the prelim #PIP3891A
And on the screen Oni posted which number did we need, or was it both.
Sorry if those are dumb questions,,, I haven't had any coffee yet today, lol
My brain will wake up in an hour or so I hope

take the 2 copies, omni stated the origial flash, then on the updated flash he has 2 lines highlighted that address the issues some of us have been expieriencing, that is wat i did, gave them the 2 printouts, the doc num and preliminary num,
i just came back from a coffee break, i hit it hard , no bog, no hesitations, pulls harder and smoother, i am still gonna tweak a few things with hpt, like the maf fail frequency and a few other hidden elements gm like to hide from us like torque management, but ya, if you have the 2 printouts yer good, hopefuly yer dealer isnt useless and knwos wat they are doin.
