Had my tuner replaced with an upgraded one today, for Free! I Love Banks!
What an improvement:ro) more low end power. The load on the motor at idle dropped conciderably afterwards from 18% down to 3-4%. The excelleration is crisper and the best part of all of this is that I was having trouble with my truck blowing blue smoke at idle, now the smoke is gone!
I know Banks cost more but you get what you pay for.
Support after the sale:cool2:

I sent mine in monday for the update, I was getting a surge on first start for about 10-20 sec. and some light smoke at idle. Keeping my fingers crossed that I get your results.

Ive noticed that my truck blows blue smoke when the six gun is in. I removed it once for about a month and it stopped, then sent it to banks, reinstalled it and it started again. I thought there was something wrong with my truck, but its been out now for about 3-4 weeks and ive not seen the smoke, it happened for about a week with it out but its gone now. I think its the chip... Im calling banks

I'm glad your happy, but they aren't the only ones that give free update. Predator give free updates, and free upgrades, Quadzilla gives free update, Edge does as well!

Just above were the wiring enters the tuner is two banks of numbers the center last three digits should be -05B will be the lastest update ,Some tuners do not have the banks of # you will have to call GBE and go by serial #s,This would be a updated # 63716-05B 63712-06 .It is more of a upgrade than a update, You will not be disappointed.

If you request they will provide the shipping cost, just give them a Fax # and you should be good to go. That's what I did.
