Thanks, Everybody seems to like Nelson's Tunes, and I have talked to different people about there tune's and allen seems to be the most knowledgeable in what is the best for a daily driver.

The more I think about it I might have to get new tires, these factory wrangler ST's are the worst tires on the market as most Goodyears after half life, don't get me worng they good for dry roads, but when the road is wet watchout for the bar dich.

but this TQM is driving me nuts, and unsafe when pulling out in traffic. Here is a thought if I get the Tune before the tires and the road is wet it would be the same, I push the gas and no go! but this time the tires will be spinning, LOL LOL :cool:

Go with Westers, it has really made a noticeable SOTP difference, and I can now get scratch from a start . Pulls hard and strong. Great people to deal with also.

Give Bryan at PCMforLess a call also. His customer service is excellent and so is the price, especially if you send back the core. He's doing something custom for me to optimize the performance of my new camshaft and also fix the false knock problem I'm having due to my 99 PCM's interpretation of the valvetrain harmonics. You can check out the website to the left, he's one of our sponsors.

dont do a westers tune unless you want a conservative tune.

 

 

 

I doubt that Wester's would be considered conservative. I have the 93 octane tune, no torque managemnt, RPM shift points raised, no speed limiter, timing increased etc etc etc. Either you have some bad experience with him or are way beyond my knowledge level about the difference. He did a great job on mine.

My 93 Octane Hot Tune works great on my 6.0L HD... I would not call it conservative, but I will say that Lyndon is concerned about the vehicles he tunes for and I see nothing wrong with that; in running a business you have to be. Lyndon can tune as radical as you want. You just have to let him know what you want and what mods you have done. No matter what though, a custom tune works wonders for these trucks... :flag:

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
