Another Westers/6.0L update


Recommended Posts

Posted

Wow. What an incredible difference !!!!

 

My truck had no issues- started right up, rough idle for maybe 3 seconds, about 5 seconds after that it settled into it's new (and kick-azz) lumpy idle. Between the Volant and Westers- my truck sounds killer :D !!!

 

Went for a 20 mile shakedown, ran like a beast for the get-go. Nice firm snappy shifts, a whole new level of throttle-response, my mpg went up AT LEAST 4mpg :eek::D !!!!!!

 

My truck went to hell after my bigger-tire install- all is cured. Speedo is much more accurate, tranny shifting like it should, lock-up working normally again.

 

Y'all, I can't shut up to my homies here at work !!!! I got one guy with a 99 Silvy that now is going to order one. Unreal- everything everyone said it would be and then some. Lyndon- you da man :P !!!

 

Now- my one issue. At 55-65mph, steady-state cruise with tranny locked, shouldn't it unlock with nearly any throttle application ?? Mine won't unlock at all. I'll press harder and harder, when I reach maybe 60% or so throttle, it drops into 3rd and takes off. Not a major issue and maybe it'll work itself out with miles (only 50 or so right now), but it that normal ??

 

Anyway- WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D:D:D:D:D:D:D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

CAN'T WAIT TO DYNO :thumbs::lol::lol: !!!!!!!

 

smoke :cool:

Awesome! I just got my tune for my truck, not a 6.0L, but my gains were about as noticeable... It took mine about 200 miles to fully learn the new shift program, it is a totally different vehicle now. Like you said, Lyndon rocks!

Congrat,s , had the same fealing about my new westers

tune for my 6.0. Runs like a raped ape. Only one problem

with mine, it won't kick into torque converter lock-up

until around 55 mph. Not a good thing when most roads

around here are 45. Guess i'll call Lyndon and see what he

can do. Have fun with that new tune and start saving for

new tires soon!

:crazy: Waiting for my chip from Lyndon. Suppose to come in this coming Wednesday. Have a airaid system on it already and wanting to put a cat back system. Anyone know which one is best ? Don't want it too loud.

So do you get a new chip when you buy one or do you have to pull yours and put your truck out of commission until your OEM chip is re-programmed?

Wester's sends you a replacement PCM that you swap out for your stock one. You only need a 7mm socket, a screw driver to pop the latch and about 10 minutes to do the swap.

Alright, I won't say "I told you so!"

I'm glad your as happy as I have been with My Wester's tune! Give it some more miles to learn. The TC lockup is part of your huge gas mileage increase, 4 is very good!
