Hypertech power programer

To go that route do I have to buy a Hummer H3 3.7L PCM or can I pick-up a used "compatible with" a Hummer H3 off eBay for $60-100?

Have you noticed a difference post install? I really like this option to allow for "many" custom tunes to my weekly taste, the initial price is hefty compared to PCM so it pays in the long run(additional shipping each flash.. no disrespect to PCM as I have not used them... YET ) and also since my warranty dealership is not to "mod friendly" when it comes to claims. So the return so stock function really saves me the "you altered this so your warranty is VOID" BS. Is this the same unit you're talking about?

This is the device, I haven't got mine installed yet (VIN & Calibration is different for AUS H3 but they have fixed the VIN) so I can't comment on the results.

Let me be clear, there are just 2 performance tunes (Regular & Premium Fuel) + return to STD

You can adjust RPM Limiter, Gears, Tire size, & other parameters as well as fault codes, etc. Check the website for more info http://hypertech.com/

I'm very interested in this but I got a 3.5L...

Go to their website & enter your vehicle information to see which device will suit your vehicle. My guess is the 32501 is a generic GM Programmer & you select your vehicle on the screen to select the programme.

http://hypertech.com/

If it is not on their list, send them an email. You may be able to get them to add your vehicle just like I am at the moment. (the device captures your vehicle information & you can connect & send the info back to Hypertech for them to add your program)

Latest Update:

Hypertech sent me an email saying my calibration was available on the Internet.

I connected and it updated fine, but when I plugged it in to the H3 it went back to the VIN problem "This device is not for this vehicle".

Anyhow I emailed them back to let them know for them to fix the code.

Getting closer !!!!

RCVD an email from Hypertech saying they had an update for me online. I uploaded the update and programmer seemed to work great (The VIN it recorded was different but the programmer worked ok) I let them know about the VIN issue & will roadtest tomorrow.

 

[Chook]

Ok............ The VIN now is correct and the Hypertech Programmer now fully programs my Non-USA 2008 built Hummer H3 3.7

Sennin this should work for all South African Built H3 as long as they are built 2008 or later.

It should work out of the box, but if not you just need to email them your VIN & plug it in to the PC to upload when they say it is ready.

Yep........If you go back to Post #18 (on page 2) you will see the screenshot of all GM vehicles the 32501 does & the Alpha is in there.

That said, the tune in my 3.7 wasn't in their database but then the programmer downloaded my tune & sent it back via the internet. 3 days later my tune was added to the database. The worse you are looking at is about 2 weeks for them to put in your VIN & Tune but it is all done over the internet (no need to ship stuff around).

Thats why onine forums are evil :gaah:

I went on their website with the first link provided and couldn't find the 5.3 under their listings, so I just assumed its going to be a no go....... now I have to break the bank again while the superchips tuner is still staring me in the face on my desk :no:

Think I will first mail Hypertech and make double sure this time :giggle:

So I send a mail to tech support, lets hear what they have to say

I hope you get good news. I just bought an 09 alpha, found out that all the ones sold here are from south africa! I was really hoping it wasnt so I'd be able to get a flashpaq but anyway, huge impovement over my 06 H3!!!

This is the reply I got:
The 5.3 will not be supported anytime soon in this vehicle or in the Colorado, Envoy and others. The computer is totally different and we are still in research.

so lets keep our fingers crossed that theydomanage to overcome the problems they are facing
