The BIG one of cource :D

Its been a well rounded tune so far.

Leaves sports cars wondering how a lifted truck with a fifth wheel hitch in the back just walked away from them at the last stop light.

Back into the 5er and tow all day long with good towing maners and respectable EGTs.

A virtually smokless tune makes driving in town easy and no time wasted scrubbing the soot off the trailer after getting back from a camping trip.

Running empty on the hwy....hand calculated mileage for my truck still hangs around the 20 mark.

I get it flashed back to stock. A spare ECM could be done as well. Swapping the ECM is a 10min job round trip once you have done it a couple times.

If an ECM is in place that has your stock file in it they wont know. Leave any programer, harness box or reprogramed ECM in and they will see it.

Dr. Tyson to the rescue !;) Yes I have ran the Westers tune and it is very street able with a trailer ;) , However it is a very smooth FAST tune too . If you live in KANADA its a no brainer as Lyndon will upgrade for free.:rolleyes:

As for anything for the new LBZ I dont know if he has any . They are just starting to pop up in the marketplace.

Tyson and I are referring to a LB7 tune ! ain't that right Dr. Tyson !):h

thus my next question, if i dont have the ability to return it too stock settings i may be hooped. my dealer has said they endorse tuners as such as long as they are used properly. ie no boosted launches

They will endorse them till they have to do waranty work . GM will not pay for ANY work if a aftermarket device has been installed. Get a second ECM, You can buy them from Westers when you buy a tune . Does Westers even have a LBZ tune ?
