including H1. Dealers... its a FREE update! Anyone with the GMT or DDT
tuner package please email us for your update! This is the ONLY 6.5
Turbo Diesel editing package available for OBD2. We're so busy with
software, the engine dyno installation has been put on the back burner.
The oil patch seems to snatch all the good workers--good help in the
shop has been hard to find.
-- JANUARY 2007 -- Snell Motors
supplied a 2007 Yukon running on E85--and we got it running right after
retuning on our chassis dyno with a new Magnusen Radix Supercharger.
Nice rig, fast--and mileage was running 15-16 MPG (and it was -35C that
day !!). We did run into a Stabilitrac issue, but we're expecting
the module from Lingenfelter will solve this for them (UPDATE)
Apparently we got carried away with the maximum torque this engine would
develop and we built in our own stabilitrac problem with the values we
set in the program. Problem solved by reprogramming correctly.
  
Congratulations
to Brian from Medicine Hat, Alberta who won the SONY Playstation 3
in our Triple Dog Power Pup Bully Dog Draw in December! His wife came to
pick it up for him, their kids could hardly wait !! Merry
Christmas and many thanks from WestersGarage for their support.
