Nelson, Wheatley Or Wait4me

dragr1 · February 9, 2008

I know this has been discussed a thousand times, but how about one more time.

My vehicle is a 2000 Suburban 2500 4x4 6.0 and I'm mainly interested in towing power and ability. My main goals would be better shifting, a little more power w/o running premium gas, and maybe even better mpg if that's even possible.

I realize that wait4me is the cheapest, but I'm asking which is the best and most reliable (fewest problems after install).

I'd go with Wester's as well. Check out Butch's site here. Just email him any questions you may have about a tune and you'll soon realize that he's the best guy to go with.

Hum, haven't heard of them yet (Westers). They are the most expensive, but their website is the most impressive. I wasn't that impressed with talking with Jesse on the phone at wait4me. He did talk to me some, but was more interested in directing me to paypal and having me explain what I wanted on the paypal form.

Also with the Wait4Me you can get three custom tunes on a handheld and switch between stock and your three different choices for tunes.

I think you'll find they're all pretty darn good and reliable, depending on what type of tune you request. If you go with whatever they recommend for a daily driver and indicate that you still want to tow and don't want to have to run premium, they'll get you what you need.

I got a Nelson Tune and I love it!!!

Nelson FTW!!!

I'm ready to order a tune, but which one? Remember, I'm really only looking for the basic tuning here-mainly interested keeping the trans. intact b/c this 2500 Burb is primarily a tow vehicle. A little more power and more mpg would be great also, but I like to run the cheap gas or maybe 89 if necessary. So I'm thinking since I don't need one of the fancy custom tunes for performance, why should I pay at least twice as much for another tuner other than wait4me?

Do I need any torque management removed for towing (2000 Burb 2500)? It seems that someone mentioned that wait4me does not remove any torque management?
