Well, just heard back that the ECM is back from the repairer, now lets hope she works anew!
Timing is everything, and nothing works without it....

Why can't they release pricing..

I have one sitting on my workbench. They will give you pricing if you call.

Last I knew they were working out ALDL Issues, also it is listed 91-95 and there is to be a different 1990 part number.. I provided some ALDL INfo, but it seems this is a lower priority for them (and I understand, not many cars made, so not much sales potential there)

I have a feeling it will not be less than $1000.. which is unfortunate..

The ALDL issues were worked out. I believe the only thing that remained unsolved was the fuel mileage calculator and they weren't sure that would ever be solved.

There are two different part numbers. 90 and 91 and up. I couldn't get a great answer on the difference.

They have pricing. No, it isn't less than 1000. Where have you seen an aftermarket, laptop tuneable, application specific, preprogrammed ECU that controls 16 injectors for less than 1000? While I'm sure we could all wish for that, it's just not realistic. And the 1500-1800 dollar units are for engines like the LS where they are going to sell 5-10k units a year. Not 3-5.

Final price was to be 2500. I know I got a deal on mine because they were doing a run of them. I sure that could be arranged in the future.

Guess I will send my ECM to K&B and see if it can be fixed first

As a side note, the DIY Auto Tune guys told me one of the challenges with their LT-5 ECU is the connectors needed to make it plug-n-play. They're no longer available new and they haven't been able to find anyone to make them for a reasonable cost. That means they have to get them from junk yards. Luckily, there were a few other '90's GM cars that use the same connectors (but not a lot - not that easy to find them in very good condition).

If that question is for me, I have no idea (I don't even know what a '7727' is).

Perhaps you could see if those connectors fit into your LT-5's ECU. Or call DIY Auto Tune and ask them. If yes, they might like that information.

Was a general question. I emailed them to see. I need to call K&B too
