| I bought my tuner from DHP, it was "custom" for the 96 riv. since I gotta replace my PCM for my trans install, Im wondering if the DHP tuner will work on the new PCM? My pcm will have to be from a 97-99. If it will work, how do I "unlock" the tuner to work on the later year PCM's? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Are you sure the tuner was only for 96 Rivs or was it the .bin? The only correlation between DHP and the '96s i know of is that DHP is the only tuner that works for us, and HPTuners cannot be used. DHP will work with the later year cars, and I am pretty sure that they unlocked all of their tuners before they went out of business._________________  1996 Riviera, 1.9s, 3" DP, FWI, 180, AL104s, 3.6", DHP PowrTuning...

| As far as I know, all DHP tuners work on '98-'02 3800 PCMs, and many even newer. I believe you may have needed something 'extra' to work with the '96 but otherwise you should be all set for tuning any other '98-'02 PCM. _________________ '98 Buick Riviera; Gen V 3.25 pulley, N*, VS Cam, 180 stat, Custom PCM (Powrtuner), headers & HF cat , 42.5 lb inj.

| the tuner did come with a 96 bin already uploaded, but I haven't tried using the tuner on any other car. I guess I will just have to wait and see. would hate being out another half grand just for a tuner which I already have!

Can't you find out by going to the DHP board and ask?
I don't know how all that works but I thought there was still a lot of good info and help available for the DHP.

HPTuners will not work for 96s. If you mean DHP then what you read is true, however the tuners are still very common and used by many other 3800 enthusiasts._________________ 1996 Riviera, 1.9s, 3" DP, FWI, 180, AL104s, 3.6", DHP PowrTuning... Soon: SSACs, Stage 1 TB, and a 3.4 |

| i meant that i thought DHP went out of business. so the only place to get a tuner is on the used market. is there a certain software package that i need to look for or special cables etc? |

| You'll just want to search the classifieds for a DHP PowrTuner & Keyspan USB adapter and you're all set. They show up pretty frequently. _________________ 1996 Riviera, 1.9s, 3" DP, FWI, 180, AL104s, 3.6", DHP PowrTuning... Soon: SSACs, Stage 1 TB, and a 3.4 |
