I had my transfer case replaced and ever since ive got the car back it feels a lot different like its pulling timing...is there any way they could have unintentionally or intentionally reflashed my car back to a default setting?

 

bump

 

anythings possible thats a crappy situation. Save up and get it retuned. Though I cant see why they would even touch you ECU when replacing a TC

 

I've felt the same way a few times when i've brought mine in, no way to tell tho

 

Do you have the boost controlling flash? If so, you can probably see it on your boost gauge.

 

Yes i was tuned by Al a few months ago and i dont know whether the dealer reflashed it or my car is doing something else all together like pulling timing,or leaking boost. I have a strange feeling that its the LICP where it meets the turbo....is this spot known to be notirous for boost leaks? For the sake or argument...if i put the gasket in backwards would it cause a leak?

 

If it the lower I/C pipe you should be able to hear it. After I had the dealership change my clutch out, the lower I/C pipe was leaking bad. I used the gasket with RTV and it sealed up nice.

I know the feeling when you think your car should be performing better than it is, but your not sure. It sucks! good luck

 

if you had the rev limit raised in your flash, u should beable to tell by revving it, whether or not the flash was erased.

 

its killing me and i odnt know who or what to go to. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I think im going to try and seal it off like a few others have.

 

That's true.

 

flash was not ereased, car redlines at 7500

 

You just rev it up untill it hit the limiter?

 

that and i took it out and let it bounce off
