Sounds like it was NA to me...
NA it was. Good looking car, but I've had to cross it off my list of potentials. Just thought I'd pass along the tuning opportunity to Chuck
Latest rental car tune......
Ok, while I've likely skipped one or two....Here's the latest RENTAL TUNE!
While in Arkansas recently, we rented a nice white 08 Trailblazer....
Kinda was a dog, so we jumped in the rental at 11:pm at the airport and we quickly had the engine and trans cals downloaded....
The best part was...I wasn't me.
My girlfriend Corina had watched me tune millions of cars and trucks...but the poor girl had never tried it before.....
SO, I handed here the laptop...had her do everything from cycle the key, read the files, save the files,.....and modify the files.....
I coached her a wee bit and she did GREAT. I let it be her choice for the shift firmness and feel...and with a little bit of input.....
It was off to Eureka Springs Corvette Weekend in the Ozark Mountains with a sporty white Trailblazer! I hour of pure fun in the windy mountain roads....
I think I'm gonna let her do more of this......

Very nice man, I havent dealt with the E67s and T42s in the TBs yet but I know how much a good I6 tune makes driving one that much better. Actually having it shift on time vs whenever it wants makes a big difference.

this thread makes me laugh, I'd totally do the same thing if I had the workshop version, but as it is, the licenses would end up costing me more than the rental sometimes...Ok, while I've likely skipped one or two....Here's the latest RENTAL TUNE!

Ok, here's the latest......
Ok, here's the latest....I ALWAYS ask for a GM PRODUCT when I rent cars...
This weekend I went on a tuning trip to Chicago....And I rented a......
PONTIAC VIBE
BUMMER! It had a controller that looked like an ALLISON TCM for the engine controller....and Live connected to it, but couldn't read it....even though it connected to the pcm....I got the BOOTLOADER REJECTED message.
BUMMER!
The thing was a slug and DEFINITELY needed some TQ management and shift point correction!@!@
Come on ROSS, these rentals are expensive....I've only been able to tune a small fraction of the rentals I come across!

Chuck, you are a unique individual.
Love your work.
Thanks for a good laugh.
I have a 09 Impala 3500 this week for a rental, the heavy TM is awful, shift pattern is a nucance, I can't wait to get my L67 Park Ave Ultra back (got broke into, thankfully my EFILive cable was not taken, nor anything else!)..... There are a LOT of V6 Impala's that need tuning out there....
