anybody have the settings for an 05 yukon xl denali 6.0 awd, I just bought the powerprogramer and the only thing i have done is put 22" wheels with 305-45/22 falken tires. no other mods, I wanna know what I can do to boost the perf. without going to extreme kinda like a light mod.

There isn't anything extreme about the power programmer, for "safest tuning" I would not raise the rev-limiter or shift points. (Essentially the engine will not rev any higher than it does stock). If you program for 91 octane you have to use it or it will ping pretty bad. Don't prepare to be amazed at the new found performance.

The "performance tune" for premium gas really doesn't do much IMO. I had one for a few years before getting a custom tune. I raised the rev limiter, raised the shift points, raised the top speed, increased line pressure for firmer shifts, and changed to the proper tire size for accurate speedo. I really liked the improvements from those changes. I used to beat it pretty hard and I have 166K on it now so I don't think raising the rev limiter hurt anything. I think I set it at 6100 or 6200 IIRC.

 

I was reasonably happy with the Hypertech. That is until I got a built trans and a custom tune :mad: Can't imagine going back to the Hypertech now.

I only purchased the hypertech to correct the speedo and odom. is there another way to do this with out spending $350 on the hypertech.

    • GM's are stainless and have a fairly robust powder coating, although, still not worth $850 in my opinion. They will hold up a lot better than their cheaper steel aftermarket counterparts.   What I like about the GM step bars is dealers will often equip their dealer stock with them. Lots of margin. Which means a lot of people end up buying them because they're already on the truck, even if they don't like them. So it's pretty easy to find brand new takeoffs with hardware on Marketplace and Craigslist for about $250.   That's what I did for my crew cab. I wanted ZR2 rock rails for the look, but with the ability to bolt up GM's assist step package. From GM it's about a $2500 accessory all in. The old folks in my life can't get in the truck without steps. I found the whole package on marketplace for $180.
    • I am really glad I found this post and this site... We have a 2022 1500 refresh LTZ that has these problems: - forward collision avoidance warning light - lane keep assist unavailable - adaptive cruise control unavailable   The truck was bought as a new leftover in 2023, so it was still under the 3/36 B to B when it went in for these problems earlier this year. It has been at the dealer on and off now for about 110 days now. These are some of the things they have done that I can read on the service tickets. - replace/add ground straps (4) - check all battery cables and vlts - replace serial data gateway module - replace front view camera - numerous reprogramming - a few calibrations (apparently ending with 'learned') Last week when I had it back the truck had those 3 warnings every time we used it except for 3 times. On three separate occasions the truck started and ran perfectly with no (zero) warning messages or warning lights lit - everything worked perfectly. Over that same time period the truck did not work on every other 'key' cycle which I would estimate at 60+ cycles. On those estimated 57 cycles it had the same 3 problems each and every time.   It is back at the dealer now - can anyone help at all with what the true problem might be?  Or possibly what can be ruled out leaving a lower number of possibilities? Thank you very much for any help you may be able to supply....     
    • As for the step bars, friend did just that, bought some cheap ones and we are in Michigan and they turned to rust in less than a year.  In 3 yrs he had to replace one of them because they rusted out from the inside even though he kept after them cleaning and polishing etc. Had to drive 300 miles (to Chicago area) to find a reg cab wt, he ordered one and dealer never got it and with winter approaching (plow truck) he needed fo find one ASAP.  Furd dealer found him one but he choose to drive to get a GMC.    Just what you can expect with cheap stuff, LOW quality. 
    • I’ve seen many times people over buy to start a business. Instead of quality equipment they buy junk and drive an expensive truck. Our first haul truck was a 2 ton wrecker with 6 cylinder to haul our equipment. It would go 60 miles per hour flat out. Our trucks were older trucks we could work on easily. Our equipment was first class that we could work without fear of breaking down. You could always use large trash bags to wrap for water proofing. Put the money where the return is. Comfort and luxury comes with success. Good luck in your venture.
    • Thank you, it looks like I have to get a topper or a box van.  Unfortunately, the only vans that can tow what I am looking for are going to be 3/4 ton vans, which may ride rough if I am going to use this on the road extensively.  I may also use it to take marketing clients out on the road.   Not knowing anything about starting a business, my goal is to start small, use things I already have & keep everything in good working order.  I have a small box trailer, need to install lights in it, and same for the topper itself.   How easy does Chevy/GMC make our trucks to upfit if we decide to add things like a topper and lights?  On Fords, the upfit process was rather easy.  Just tie the +12V of the lights to the AUX relay panel and the - to chassis Ground.
