So true!

I could really tell the differnce in 3rd gear for before i had this like loss of engine power...when i did the FWI, no issues, runs great...I'm guessing it was KR maybe?? I dunno I dont have a scanner...

I think its just the hot air coming in.

I think first gear is the best. But im on a stock PCM so I guess im having the slow pickup from the 40mph lag.

that hose that your talking about, i think it brings air up from the fenderwell. gives the box more fresh air. no it does not need a filter on it.

Pictures are worth a thousand words.

nah i took my air box off ages ago, if i remember correctly, it connects to nothing...dont worry about it...just un-hook the "main" hose and snatch off the box...like i said, its no biggie...

As far as i have heard these PCM's are very sturdy and rarely have problems due to the weather, vibrations heat etc. They were made to stand up to the elements. With that being said you can always buy a PCM tray for extra protection.

What about the open wires that you can see inside the PCM, and the connectors? Maybe I'm the only one on here that has to deal with inclimate weather with snow and salt to ruin everything! Someone please give me an explanation.

funny u should say that, YES my PCM is zip-tied. nah man it looks fine, i have no worries on mine, personally.

I used 2 self-drilling screws and screwed it down to the metal under it threw 2 of the holes in the side of it.
It isn't going anywhere...

I drive my GTP year round. I probably don't get the same amount of snow that you get. But we still get our fair share. And I drive 100 miles everyday to and from work. So in the winter, my car gets dirty and salty. I have had my PCM out in the open for a couple years now, with no side effects. They are sturdy and I have never heard of anyone else having any problems either. The worst thing that happens is the aluminum gets all crappy looking. But it doesn't effect performance or operation.

The basic design of our PCM was used in several vehicles. The Blazer/S-10 had it sitting right out in the open (hence why we can use the Blazer PCM tray).
