Talked to Lyndon today, told him what I need. Said we tow a 32 ft. race trailer completely loaded every weekend, and it;d be nice to have somewhat firmer shifts, a little higher rev limiter, and basically better performance out of the truck. He said he can set it for a tune that will make towing the trailer a hellofa lot easier, a smoother and more occuring spark, fuel economy when you want it lol, just a basic performance tune for towing and daily driving. Said he has awesome results with trucks like ours. I should have asked him for a discount lol, like how on books u.s is like $15 and Canada is like $18 hehe.

I'm debating now! I'd LOVE for the chip, but I can get new dual exhaust for $250

i think Wester's is the way to go :D

Like I mentioned before... My buddy had Lyndon do a PCM for his '00 7.4L and the performance difference is night and day!!! He woke up a sleeping giant!!! The gains were much better than I got for my 6.0L, and I'm happy with what I have!!!

Westers is the only performance mod I have on my truck as far as the engine goes and it has given me incredible performance. If you want the most power out of your engine a Westers is the only way to go in my opinion. With the money back gurantee you can't go wrong. I can tell you and exhaust is not going to make the difference a Westers Custom tune can. Give it a try I think you will be surprised.... :D

LOL I know its more power than a new exhaust. I LOOOOOOOVE the sound of the exhaust right now, I just want dual out instead of single, looks :cheers: lol. But we're prolly going to have the 5th wheel hitch installed this next week or two, my dad'll probably send me down to have it installed. So once we get thr trailer and our old one sells (which we put up for sale a week or so ago, TONS of ppl interested!), so once he has the cash he said he'd look into it and call Lyndon for further info! I don' know Shaners, I think he'll forbid me to drive the truck if the gains are as good as your friends! I'll be doing waaaay to much :D:thumbs::thumbs:

 

I'll keep ya'll informed

I went with the 91 hot tune on my 6.0 and was worried about towing. They said hot tune for performance driving, but i also said i tow once in a while. Well when i got the tune in i tried towing.It pinged at first but after 30 miles or so it stopped and i noticed a difference in power. I have a 24ft transporter and i haul a 78 3/4 ton suburban so total weight is around 11000lb and as long as i use the tow/haul mode i have no problems at all.

If it's a choice between the Westers and exhaust, that's not a choice, get the Westers. It's the one performance item that really works every time. Get it! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.
