Did you miss the Wester's Group Purchase from last month but still want to give your truck a nice power increase? This is your chance to save some money on this programming! We're offering 10% off and free shipping for all Wester's custom programming that is ordered through Sunday, March 28th!

 

Benefits include

 

30 day free trial, you don’t like it, Westers' will either modify it or you can send it back and owe nothing!

Lifetime warranty (no cost or fees)

Lifetime updates for all future mods ($45 shipping and handling fee)

Lifetime full price paid credit toward your next custom tune for your next vehicle ($45 shipping and handling fee)

No vehicle downtime! You will receive your recalibrated PCM before sending your core back. Want to upgrade this for other mods in the future? No downtime here either! The same thing can be done for this too.

 

Horsepower Gains

Customers have been seeing about 24-34hp from the 5.3, 28-50hp from the 6.0 and 25-55 horsepower from the 8.1 motor. This spread depends on how aggressive the tuning is along with other modifications that are done to the vehicle. Fine tuning for other mods will sometimes make more of a different than just running those with the stock programming.

 

More info can be found in the Truck Ignition / Computer section of our website.

 

PCM cores -

 

You will need to send your factory PCM into Wester's after you install the new computer. We will do a "core authorization" on your card to cover this computer until it is returned. The authorization won't be an actual charge, but it will hold the money for us in case the core isn't returned. The core amounts are -

 

Most computers up to 2002 - $175.

2003 - $350.

2004 - $450.

 

This authorization will be voided after your core is returned.

 

Orders can be placed online or by calling 1-877-4-TBYRNE (1-877-482-9763). We will need to fax or e-mail you a form to fill out for the Wester's programming. This will have to be filled out and faxed to 1-508-679-5159.

 

Have a good day,

Tom

Can you shoot me an e-mail with your name so I can check on this for you? Most of the computers were shipping in the order that they came into us. Order numbers depended on when they were completed with the custom forms sent into us.

 

Thanks,

Tom

The Westers' programming probably has the longest list of info out of any other product that we carry. I don't think they list that much for their product.

 

You asked for the website address. That is linked in my signiture.

 

Here is a quick rundown of the sale prices for the 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 and 8.1 trucks -

 

westersGM99-00 1999-'00 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 and 8.1 Wester's programming $386.99

Ok... The info that I need to help you with this is what you would like to see from this upgrade? Do you want all out better performance? Do you want to focus on fuel economy or do you want a mix of both?

I would like a little of both.

I do have spintech exaust and a kn kit.

I have 35 inch tires also.

I would like to stay with mid octane and hopefully ok mpg when not in the peddal.

I also haul a trailer 24' enclosed once a month up some pretty good grades.

 

1=Are all of the setups the same?

2=I here the Tune has to learn your truck so dose that mean it changes when Im hauling the trailer verses empty and taking off from a light with my foot in it?

3= I thought there was like certain performance options like a Towing one,

One for just fast out of the hole,One for stock trucks, One for trucks with exhaust and intake set up.

 

 

I guess Im a little confused with my options as far as performance options offered.

I know there are hundreds of things to change in the PCM but what is an effective upgrade for the truck i have described.

Thanks

I would go with the 89 octane tune and note that the truck is used for towing so the program can be based on that.

 

If you would like to order a program we will send you a custom programming form to fill out and send back to us. This will provide Westers will the mods that you have done to the truck along with your vin number, tire size, gearing etc.. You can note the programming option that you would like to go with and also list what you expect to see from their tuning. This gives Lyndon a feel for what you need when he put the program together. Each vehicle needs something different so this will be custom to your truck.

 

Alot of customers report that their trucks feel faster as they put more miles on them. This is the computer adjusting and learning for best performance.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions that will help you with this.

 

Thanks,

Tom

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It’s at the point of amusement. I’m retired I have time. It’s fun seeing people try to convince me I’m using oil. I’m buying oil at the prescribed time. It gets drained and new goes in. Do I add in between, no. My oil doesn’t even get dirty in 5k miles. I don’t even see any drop on the stick. I check in the same place. All is well.
