Good evening. Adger, I'm curious about your results with this, assuming you got yours programmed. I have a 98 3500HD, 454 with older whipplecharger. Swapping the computer out and the shop working on it says it's running like crap. They feel it's due to the stock tune not working with the supercharger. I'm looking for someone that can help my guys get this thing under control.

After I bought my low mileage 2002 8100 WD 3500 I had some serious health issues and have just been using it between the house and farm. (no racing.. 44' LQGN sitting.. Just toating the Kubota) Soon after I got it in 2016 I noticed some issues with it missing and sometimes it died. I changed to the updated Crank position sensor and all problems went away. I have made a couple long trips in it. The longest from NE Texas/SW Arkansas to Minnesota. April of 2023 I delivered an engine to Ringgold Ga. while I was there I stopped at RED and Ronnie loaded down my 30 ft goosneck with 36 SBC engine blocks and several BBC blocks. It did well going back to Texarkana. Loaded and at Interstate speeds it averaged 9.75 MPG on the way home. I had a tune that ED Wright had sent to me, but had a comuter crash and lost it.. that was just after we had lost Ed. This truck really has served me well. It is nearing 58,000 miles on it. I still plan on doing some mods to it, but I just haven't taken the time.
Alan, I was wondering if you still had that 8100 engine and Trans I delivered to you. If anyone has an update on the tuning of the 8100 let's keep this thread going?

I looked online into the Black Bear that Alan mentioned earlier in this thread. I've also been questioning others recently on this as well, and I've been hearing about 0411 PCM swap. Seems more folks prefer the 0411 to Black Bear. According to folks I spoke with today, it's more user/tuner friendly. I was advised to get a base tune, then get to a chassis dyno for a more specific tune. I'm pretty computer illiterate with these things, so having to rely on others for this project. Really hoping this gets the truck squared away.
