PCM Help!!! Any advice is appreciated

When I bought my pickup it had a tune on it (which is diablosport 100hp) and now I bought custom tunes and I have no way of clearing the PCM as I know of. I took it to the dealership and they tried to update the PCM and it wouldn't let them update it. My question now is, can the PCM be cleared somehow? Or do I need to get a new PCM? If I need a new PCM what PCM will work with a 01 auto trans.? I know alot of guys like the PMT1 because the trans and engine are at better parameters. Does a PMT1 work with an auto? Sorry for this being so jumbled I'm just frustrated and want this darn truck to be sound and the way I want it. Any help is appreciated greatly Thank You!!

If the PMT1 has parameters for the trans then it should work with your auto due to the fact that with a stick you wouldnt have any trans parameters because the driver is in complete control, computer cant tell or make it shift. Not trying to sound like a you know what just saying.

Re: PCM Help!!! Any advice is appreciated

Well I found out that it was a chip (the previous owner told me it was a tuner not a chip) When I pulled my pcm to see what code it was I found that it was a chip. Also found that I have a PMT2 pcm. I put my new tunes in and then later in the day when I was playing with it I blew the turbo hahaha it blew making around 30psi is all so I dont know what its deal was, now I'm debating what turbo to order any news on a 38r? If anyone is deciding on tuners I highly reccomend DI tunes they have insane power over that pos diablo, and the trans shifts really nicely I don't blame my turbo failure on them at all I kind of figured that the turbo was going to go as it wasn't boosting much, just would touch 30psi. also it surged pretty bad with just the diablo. My trucks mods are intake, straight pipe exhaust, DI tunes and now a new turbo once I decide on one. I just need to know exactly what I need for the turbo any gaskets or seals? Also can the CCV be left alone with the 38r? My future mods are maybe 238/100 injectors and fuel system and then leave it alone.
