I have a hypertech power programmer 3 for 97 GM trucks.

With the 4.3/5.0/5.7/7.4 vortec engines. Part # 370202

 

May fit other years not sure.

 

Asking $200 obo.

 

Or trade for a tuning laptop or wet nitrous kit, could put money on top depending. __________________

i know you said you dont know if it would work for any other years, but i have a '96 and I'd like to maybe buy it... (im a noob to these programmers) what exactly will this do for me? and do you think it will have any luck for a '96

it will work from 96-03 or at least my superchips does

 

 

nice...what kind of gains could you get? i read some stuff from their website about this exact programmer, but they only touched lightly at numbers and things.

idk, i used it raise my top speed and rev limiter, i just have it set on 87 Octane.

 

also when i get bigger tires i can then adjust it, plus ive used about 20 times to read DTC's

 

and BTW i only paid $100 for it from a member that used to be on this site

I've got one that I used on my '96 5.7L I might be willing to sell. I don't have hard HP numbers, but I had my truck setup for basically max power, 93 octane gas etc. It made a hell of a difference especially when I was pulling anything.

I got the truck with in installed and havnt driven with it in stock form to say how much it did.

 

This one doesnt have set octane level its just performance tune or not, i dont know if its a older unit or what.

It also doesnt read DTCs.

This programmer will work for 96-97 gm trucks, the #370202 was deisgned to be used optimally with the hypertec 160f powerstat, but will work with factory 180f, power and torque gains are in the 10-15% range, but you can e-mail hypertec with the part number and your application and they can give you exact numbers. It is capable of changing speed limiter, shift rpm and firmness, correct for axle ratio changes, and adjust for tire size. It does not read trouble codes.

 

i`ve been trying to sell the one i got for quite some time....but i will not hijack the OP thread... :D Just giving you more info about it!

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
