did they find anything with the wiring. Hopefully by now they figured out what's cooking the PCM's before they hook another one up!!

Aaron said he went over the wiring and didn't find any "smoking gun". Nothing really looked out of place or damaged. He mentioned that Jim spoke to some of his old GM buddies, some involved with the original design of the C5 PCM and the consensus is that the TAC module has been zapping the PCMs. Well, we'll soon find out, I guess.....
Of course, if they put in a new PCM and the used TAC module and the car STILL eats PCMs, I don't have a clue what is going to happen. I may have no choice but to give up and part the car out. Sooner or later they are going to get fed up with the car.
I don't recall if I mentioned it or not, but Jim is going to switch gears and start doing the tuning using HPtuners instead of the program he has been using. Just in case.....

Sure hope all goes well with the new tune Rich. The Ls Edit program is pretty old so maybe going to HP will cure the problem. Will be checking back on this thread to see how it went.

No. I don't recall the name of the product, but Jim Smith told me that it is a GM product that costs in the neighborhood of $3,000.

Jim didn't make it up to Thomasville yesterday, but Aaron said he will be there this evening. They have another car they will be working on in the morning tomorrow, so my car won't get pulled onto the dyno till the afternoon.

THAT (IIDY) would make a GREAT plate for the C5Z.
Iz It Dun Yet could be the title of the book that Rich has been authoring on this forum.
Don't know about anyone else, but I'm hooked by this thread, and hope to see
it successfully ended. The C5Z should be a BEAST when it's all back together. 
Rich, you should have it striped and incorporate "iZ it dun yet" into the striping!

Oh yeah, I've been subscribed since day one! Very hooked on the outcome. I think Rich is going to have to charge for joy rides to help recover some of the unexpected expenses though...

I hope that Rich is keeping all of the receipts for this fiasco! THAT would make for some
interesting reading!
