I really want to do this to my 2006 H3 Hummer but I would like to get some information. Obviously I have the I5 motor, and I also have the Luxury and Adventure Package if that makes any difference. My main concern is down time, this is my DD so I kind of need it but I have motorcycle too that I could drive to work. Would I just lose key less entry for a couple days until my original CPU was shipped back? How hard is it to get to the CPU? Anything should I know?

Hi! It is on sale, it's normally $199. Here's a link if you have trouble finding it - H3 Tuning.

Hi! If you plan on sending in the PCM, you wouldn't be able to drive the truck in the meantime. However, we do turn them around very fast, usually the same day or the very next day, so depending on what kind of shipping you choose and where you are located, you're not looking at much downtime. Once you get your PCM back you simply plug and play! It's not hard at all to get to the PCM, in fact if you want to email me at sales@pcmofnc.com I'll be glad to send you the instruction pamphlet to check out.

The tune makes a really great difference in these trucks, and you don't have to be going wide open at 5k rpm's to feel it. We make a lot of changes in the engine and transmission to help it feel a lot lighter on its feet all around. The I5 is a great motor but definitely could use a bit of help in the H3, and that's where we come in!

You won't regret it and the turn around is fast.

I had them do my '06 and '07.

Have not pulled the trigger for my '10 yet as I was waiting to upgrade to 35's (done) and a CAI install.

Need to see how/if the procedure has changed for this model year I5.

The '06 and '07 were a snap.....literally.

Ok, so I have the Right hand drive H3 V8, i'm seriously considering the PCM tune and fan kit. Have you ever done one of these? I did my left hand drive 3.7 two years back with no issues, but I'm considering using the flashing unit v.s. replacing PCM and controller.

any recommendations?

That is so cool, right hand drive!! I do a lot of export H3's actually, in Africa and Europe. I've never asked those customers if they were RHD or LHD so I really don't know! But I don't see how it would change anything that we do here on the programming end. If you want to purchase the software yourself, I'd recommend HP Tuners. It is a full tuning suite not a handheld...but to be honest the handhelds don't usually do much anyway. We can get you started with a file to use for HP tuners that would be the same thing as what we provide for our mail order tune, except you can flash it yourself. We can do it all through email, it's pretty neat!

Thanks a lot for your kind words Gunner. The only thing that changed is that with the 08+ we now have a dashhawk loaner program, where we send a dashhawk for you to do your own case relearn. Saves a lot of headache with dealing with the dealership!!

Great stuff,

Now the only question is where to buy a HP Tuner, and to go for the Standard or professional unit?

Picked up the package on Friday from the post office and quickly installed the software and downloaded the hummers stock tune. Then I was off to Gauteng to see my girlfriends, so only there did I play with the software. downloaded a stock map from the HPTuner website and compared it to mine, lo and behold 100% the same except for Vin :thumbs:. Did change the tire size and gearing ratios, just have to update when I get home tomorrow and then Test drive
