    Default TCM and ECM updated

    Finally made it into the dealership at 1 today. Took them a hour and a half to align it and 15 min to update with computer.

    I can tell a huge difference with normal driving, MPG's are getting better and it doesn't seem so jumpy in drive. All shifts seem to be quicker, I will be able to tell more once I drive more.

    I suggest everyone at 3k get your free alignment at the dealership.

    I waited till 6k and now I'm sure my tires are a little uneven I'll wear them down soon enough.

    Free Alignment?? The dealer never mentioned anything and I am at almost 8,000 miles. Is this across the nation or local?

    I also did the TCM update, and what a difference! The shifts are very smooth and the car is a lot more responsive when you tromp on the throttle. Look fellas, don't think if it ain't broke don't fix it.....It takes 15 minutes and makes a huge difference.
