Chevy sent me a letter saying they can improve braking performance slightly on dry pavement by reprogramming the electronic brake control module. It'* not a recall, they're calling it a voluntary customer satisfaction program. The letter says it affects certain 2006 Impala vehicles with ABS & 17 or 18 inch wheels. Since I've got a Monte Carlo it probably affects all ABS cars with 17 or 18 inch wheels. Does anyone care to speculate on how different size wheels would affect ABS braking?

I didn't think the EBCM applied brake pressure, I thought it just took it away.
I have heard rumors through police magazines that Impalas have fixed their braking problems. They used to have terrible brake distances, and this year they improved. Too bad I just threw the magazine away.
