I have an 03 ecsb z71 chevy 4x4 I currently have a PPE GS vararam ram air intake everything else is stock. I'm having issues with my programmer an I know I can do better. Should I go with blackbear(autocal) or someone like Nelson,Wheatley,etc. Anybody know of anybody who can tune in person in KY. Any and all help would be appreciated

This is my dd/tow rig so I don't plan on racing just need better performance. It Is a 5.3 as well. I'm throwing alot of codes. Truck runs rough when first started or in idle I can't take programmer off or it won't stay running. When in idle/ letting it warm up after about 10-20 minutes truck will die even after taking off at stop light. Will I need a new PCM or will better tuning fix it

I would say local live tune or NP, blackbear is good too.

The live tune or remote/email tune is the way to go if you are using a reputable tuner.

Mail order is about as junk as a programmer. Get a Live tune or don't get one at all

Dtc codes bein thrown are 0101 0171 0174 484D 5258 5e64 6A70 7678 8288 8E94 9AA0 A6AC B2B8 BEC4 CAD0 D6DC E2E8 EEF4 1518 FA00 060C 1218 1E24 2A30 363C 4248 4E54 5A60 666C 7278 7E84 8A90 969C A2A8 AEB4 BAC0 C6CC D2D8 DEE4 EAF0 0208 F6FC 0E14 1A20 262C 3238 3E44 4A50 565C 6268 6E74 7A80 868C 9298 9EA4 AAB0 B6BC C2C8 CED4 DAE0 E6EC F2F8 FE04 0A10 161C 2228 2E34 3A40 464C

I looked up 0101,171,174,1518,0208 so I know what those are but not the others

Did some more searching on dmax forum apparently most of the codes are thrown with a PPE or quadzilla stealth 2 programmer nobody seems to have a answer to why or what they are except for bad battery, loose connectors broke wire etc I know for a fact that I have none of those so would getting a new programmer/tuned PCM take care of it or ?
