I recently bought a LBZ with with 103,000 miles on it. The EGR has been deleted and has a 5" exhaust but is not the entire length. It has EFI live and a dsp5 switch. Can the existing tunes be replaced with new tunes easily. Also does anyone still do tunes for a deleted pickup? The previous owner does not remember what tune is on each setting and the shop that did the tunes has been out of business for years. Any help or tune advice would be great.

Yes they can be replaced. Tunes generally went something like this 1) 10 over 2) Heavy tow 30 over 3) lite Tow 60 over 4) performance 90 over 5) 120 over if it was a reputable shop.

Strange on the dial indicator. YOU DO NOT want to have smoke pouring out at Idle. A small amount on a heavy foot is normal. I Used ATP who no longer is doing the tuning. AS for new MAybe PPE or COry Willis.. are the names that I see get brought up the most but have no 1st hand knowledge of their tunes.

Since I have these mystery tunes would it be smart to get a lift pump or a transgo jr. kit? I'm not going to beat on this truck but plan on doing a lot of towing with it. I have an idea of what the towing tune is on my dsp5 switch but cannot be certain. Just want to make it reliable and last.

I've debated between getting a Fass or AirDog but not sure what I need. Fass has a dura-max flow enhancer or the titanium series 100 lift pump that has the extra filter and water separator. Have read a lot about people having 1/4 tank issues when installing lift pumps. I don't plan on using the hot tunes hardly at all.
