on the fuse... I hate when I do that kind of crap lol

Many dealerships are stupid. Hope the second one works out for you (or the steel wool)

You mean, EcuTek?

My tuner is offering remote tuning for $450 for EcuTek EcuTek ProECU Group Buy

Yeah... I can understand that. Also, EcuTek doesn't even have the map switching feature yet, though it is supposedly coming soon. I got my tune at about 34K miles. The opportunity came up suddenly, but I wasn't worried because my extended warranty (to 100K) isn't through the dealer.

My goal when I refinance is to either significantly lower my monthly payments with no increase in remaining years on the loan or significantly decrease the remaining years on the loan with very little or no increase in my monthly payment.

remote tuning I'll stick with Uprev


even if you increase the term of the loan, and drop your payment, if you continue to make the same sized payment, more will go towards principal and you will pay the loan off faster

You're boosted... that's a little different than stock, buddy. I was just throwing it out there as an alternative to the $600 Uprev tune that gives the tuner less control FWIW, I did not get mine remotely tuned, so I can't say I disagree with you on the remote tuning - prior to my recent tuning experience with this particular guy I would have felt a little uncomfortable with the idea myself.

I guess I was speaking more about home loans. Auto loans are so much shorter and don't have the same impact. Regardless, if you increase the loan, you better do some calculations to make sure of the numbers. It's not uncommon for your refi to wind up with almost identical total payment over the life of the loan. However, this isn't necessarily bad if you need some temporary relief in your payments, and are willing to accept a longer loan term in exchange.

uprev gives the tuner full access.. they just need to know how to use the osiris software.. it's really easy to use.. im just not comfortable tuning my own **** lol ...


if you lower your interest rate, even increasing the duration of the loan, by then making higher payments its worth it
