My good buddy at work has a 2000 K2500 excab shortbed with the 7.4L/Auto and 4.10's.

 

He has never been thrilled with the "power to the ground" that his truck had. He was impressed with what Lyndon Wester did for me with a special tuned PCM.

 

Just recently Westers became available for my buddies truck, so for his birthday he treated himself to a new PCM.

 

I rode in his truck today with only about 30 miles on the still learning PCM. All I can say is Holy Crap!!! Lyndon told him to expect approx. 35HP and 38 ft lbs to be released from his choked down factory tune.

 

All the added power and the removal of torque management has turned his once lame Big Block into a fire eating dragon!!! His truck can now do a tire burning powerslide on dry pavement like it was a sports car!!! Before it could barely chirp the tires... I have a feeling he'll be buying new tires in the spring!!! :seeya:

 

I guess Lyndon has to chalk up another satisfied customer!!! :eek:

He paid $395 for it... I'm guessing there is probably some shipping involved too...

 

I've heard great things about his tuning for the late '90s OBS trucks, and I can tell you now that it really freed up my buddies 7.4L.

 

We pulled out on the road after lunch yesterday, and he stabbed the throttle from a roll and when the posi kicked in the truck slid sideways with both rear tires screaming!!! His shift points and firmness are also much better.

FYI... ALL Wester's prices include UPS 3 day Priority shipping to your door.

It took 2 weeks and a day from the time he ordered it until he got it.... I think it got held up in custums or got lost!!!

 

Heavyduty guy, the 6.0L was improved alot, but no-where near what my buddy got out of his 7.4L. My throttle response is better, and the shifting is much improved. Best of all the torque management is all but gone. I'm very happy with the tune that Lyndon gave me!!! Plus the extra MPG is a nice bonus.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
