Ok well my budy works for a guy in new York that has a scanner so I'll see if he can do it... The programmer is a edge evolution not the best one...(came with truck). The wts light flashes for 1 second no matter what....I have been plugging it in at night and helps with the start exapecialy bc doesn't have to warm up as much( neighbors hate the 6" stack!!!) but the truck still won't get out of its own way until up to temp and won't go over 2,000rpm without breaking up.... I want to buy a sct x3 but waiting money issues with medical to clear up an I want to get the AE... I'm worried about the HG's with the tuner tho, not sure if it's had studs done yet. Thanks guys for the help
The quickness in which the light goes out has me wondering. I'm going to look into this a little more. Typically these things don't really "haul the mail" when they're cold anyways, but your breaking up around 2000rpms is getting us somewhere. I bet a bottle of Rev-X would help your problems tremendously. As for studs, you can open the hood and look to see if you have them... Look at the valve cover. You can see some of the the bolts or studs right there at the bottom of the valve cover. If it looks like a bolt head, you have stock bolts, if it looks like a stud with a 12-pt nut on it, you have studs. Pretty simple. A custom tuned SCT is going to be much safer on the headgaskets than any Edge product. Though the recent stuff Edge has put out has been seriously detuned (to avoid killing transmissions like they used to).

Ok after work I put the rev-x in and drove around a couple miles... Had to plow last night so parked the truck for a good 5 hrs not plugged in and it was like 20* out... Started it up and still took a like 2-3 seconds to start but when it did it ran a little rough for like 2-3 seconds but cleared right up...( just a little white smoke) no were near as much before... So now it runs almost perfect before up to temp!!!! I am a firm believer in rev-x!!! But I still don't get the wts light???? And I did my kam reset... Thanks alot for the help guys!!! Now I just got to fix the 4x4 auto( probilly vacuum leak)

Was cold this morning and forgot to plug in my truck. Went out to start it and it didn't want to!!!!! Was turning over pretty slow then batteries died!!! Went and got 2 napa legends 880cca, put them in and wanted to fire up first try, then second try fired right up, but there was a little cloude of black smoke! Anything wrong? I'm plugging it in tonight and see what it does tomorrow morning.
