I am running a Corsa Touring system and V4 mode is fine.

The leveling kit came in and it turns out the truck already had a 1.5" kit on it . Tires are still rubbing if you turn the wheel all the way. What can I do now? I don't want to put a large lift on the truck. Black Bear contacted me and I think I am going with the cable tune that is $300 - sounded like a pretty sweet deal. I also ordered some step rails and put them on last night and they look good! I will post before and after pics next week.
You'll like the tune. It is money well spent. Don't know if you want to wait this long, but Blackbear's Calendar of events says they'll be in Ft. Worth in November/December for live tuning. I got a live tune from Justin in January and he is great to deal with. Good luck.

Go Hogs!

Thanks for the help - I had no idea what it was. The reason I assumed 4L80E what I ordered a LQ4 and a 4L80E that were setup from the factory together to put in my Jeep Wrangler. It was out of a 2500 Silverado - so that makes sense.

I will contact Justin tonight. They are on a 6-8 week back order on the scan cable tunes anyway. I just got the module to start getting data this weekend.
How about that win orver Georgia? Wow! Now lets see how we fair against Alabama.

Make sure to get him to correct the tune for the taller tire height also. This could be why your not showing much fuel mileage.

Will do. Do you know off the top of your head what the factory height is? I think my tires are 32.3 inches now.
