I have this programmer but I got it for the main purpose of turning off the afm. So I didn't really pay attention to any real performance upgrade with it. I did up the shift firmness with it to the towing firmness setting which was the lowest setting I think. Most everybody here will tell you blackbear or other tunes but for me the hypertech did what I needed.
I know everyone will say it's not my truck but a man who delivers all our nuts & bolts to my work place has a 2014 gmc cc 4x4 5.3 with around 175,000 miles now. It's his personal truck as well as work. Only thing he's had fixed is the blend door arm in the hvac broke.
The hose will collapse if it's just regular vacuum hose or fuel line. That's what causes the whistle or noise. As soon as I got some strong 350 psi hose no more noise.
Thanks for the info. I really don't want to lift it any as its a 2wd. I wouldn't mind lowering it just a little maybe a 2/4" drop. Of course I'm not that up to date on thsee trucks as to what size fits without rubbing.
