Are you far enough along on this project that you have been able to take it out for a test drive?

Drove it home yesterday. Started at 10:00. Had everything out by 11:15. Would have had it done by 1:30 if it hadn't been for the unforseen exhaust issue. So, it was done by 4:30

Did you have your PCM recalibrated for the new differential ratio?

How does the gear change feel for you?

Not yet. It is little quicker than the 3.15. Haven't given it a full flogging yet.

You have an automatic, don't you? Will the shift points have to be recalibrated as well?

Yes it is an auto. That is the only reason to program the pcm. Speedo will always be correct when you change the gear in a c5. Back when I went from 2.73 to 3.15, I recalibrated the shift tables. Going to 3.42 is close enough to not trip the p1870 code until I can get my friends hptuner.

I didn't realize that. So how does the PCM in the C5 determine the distance traveled per tire revolution?

The vss reads off the reluctor wheel located in the differential. Previous models and other vehicles read off the output shaft of the transmission, which is why the speedo would be off when changing gears.
