Default best tuner?

i have a lifted 2000 5.3 silverado 4wd and the ABS/ebrake light come on if you reduce speed under 60mph it has done this since i bought. i put brand new hubs and only code i get now is 238 wheel speed mismatch. I have been reading web for 2 weeks and i am guessing its the 34.6 tires. I bought a hypertech 3 and changed tire size ,but still does same thing?? do i need a tuner that programs PCM too and if so which is best? i dont want to spend $350 dollars unless im sure this will fix it, thanks

Sell the hyper junk and get a real tune from Nelson Blackbear or Wheatley. They can out do the hypertech all day.

Yeah abs pulses per mile parameter needs to be changed its different than just the speedo deal hypertech does not touch it. if you had 31 on stock and have lets say 35 thats a 13% increase the abs pulses permile parameter in ECM need to be reduced 13% thats the way ive always done it and no issues i have a local gear shop has me do them all the time.

I'd get a live street tune from Wheatley. He's not that far from you and the truck will run great.

best tuner
should have asked "who is your favorite tuner" that's the only answer you will get.

^^^ this man is correct... if you want a quickie, just like everyone else's, might be good, might be junk tune, then get a mail order tune. Or go to one of those, line up a bunch of trucks and tune them all in a single day deals wheatley or blackbear does... nonsense in my opinion.

Daniel at Simple Quick in Benbrook is damn good, DAMN good.

Sam Miller in DFW has a hell of a reputation as well, not sure who he is working with now but he's tuned some of the baddest cars in the area.

those aren't my favorite, in fact I haven't used either of them... I have however seen the products they've put out and they speak for themselves.
