    When you talk to them about the tune, tell them what your setup is now...not what you hope to do down the road. You'll avoid some heartburn that way...

    If they find out and are not customer friendly.

    I would only make it an issue if the trans was broken or the PCM itself was at fault.

    It's usually a non-issue and it takes a lot for me to say that.

    I had a 2001 silvy that nelson tuned well over a year ago, and I had your basic bolt on's. Cai, Tb,tb spacer, wires. I had them firm up the shifts and never had a problem, and I drive my truck hard someties. My current set up is Cai, E-fans, 180 t-stat, 80mm tb, granetelli maf, and granetelli wires. I had my Nelson tune set up for all of that plus the trans go hd-2 trans kit and the Corvette servos. All the work is done and boy does she hit gears in a good way now. I can chirp second with my 275/60/17 tires with my 4.8L. Just be easy on your truck and don't drive it like you stole it all the time and it will hold up. Gears and a converter is next on the list for me, and I am sure it will be even better. Good luck on your project...... Mark

    have you ran yours at the track? we're pretty close in mods, i think my4.10s make up for your TB, MAF and wires. are you going with 4.10s? you really should

    so do the guys at nelson have a habit of not calling back?

    i'm working on finding all the parts for a 5.3 swap & found out what a pain my harness is going to be to find & thought of getting them to make one. i've called them for 2 days & the best i get is the lady taking my name & number... again.
