Hi!

I have a 2003 ukon denali XL AWD drive And I'm looking for a place to tune it when I plan to upgrade it. I have already contacted Kennedy's autotune and what my plans were and all he tried to do was sell me a pro charger kit for him to tune on Is there any other places? I'm currently still searching..

I would recommend a Black Bear Performance tune, which will run in the neighborhood of $600. This tune will modify your ECM and also your TCM (so that shifting performance will also be improved, which can make as much a difference in performance as the ECM tune). And with this purchase, you will be able to obtain future tune adjustments through your AutoCal for a nominal fee for the life of your truck, whenever you make a mod for which a tune adjustment would be appropriate (cam, headers, CAI, tire size change, etc.). You can obtain the tune totally remotely with BBP, and I would suggest that you call @BlackBearPerf and discuss your needs with them. Don't think of it as a one-time purchase from a vendor, but rather, think of it as building a long-term relationship with a vendor, who will be at your service for your tuning needs for the life of your truck. You won't be disappointed. A good tune is the best performance mod you can make for your dollar, IMO.

Research and buy your own tuner. Find one that retains your old/original tune. There may be a time when you need to return the original program. Also many tuners give several tune options, such as higher octane ratings, or for towing.
