All you need is A Hypertech Programmer, It will fix your Speedo and Abs light issue, and will give you slightly more power, I have a 2000 Silverado that I went with 4:56's because of bigger tires, no problems with the Hypertech works perfect..

.... to the guy wI disagree. The 5.3 is a dog for towing with that gear ratio.
The gear swap was a good idea.

But I would pose these questions to the guy who did the gear swap.

Did you ask him, and if so, what did he say?

You wasted your money, your truck only has so much power. Changing the gears might help a bit climbing hills but on the flat you will suffer. You are not going to get blood out of a turnip. Should have bought a smaller trailer or a more powerful pickup.

Forgot to ask... Does that truck have AFM? My 2006 does not. I have the LM7 also so I assume you do not have AFM.
My truck has AF/FM STEREO, CD-PLAYER and BLUETOOTH. Yours didn't come with that? Does your truck have a 6 cyl. with 3 on the tree and crank up windows? 😄

Am I the only person that doesn't have a problem with their tuner? and I`m running an 89 octane. and a PCM will not relearn its old ways because you removed the factory tune and downloaded a new one. it cannot relearn what is not their. it will learn as it drives though. a good tune will add power across the rpm range.
If all you have done is read about then you don`t know anything about what a custom tune can do. ask anyone of us the has a tune from 5star tuning and everyone of us will tell you its the best thing we`ve done!

LOL... Im going to talk you out of buying that tuner if it kills me....
Your post actually made me read more on tuners and I pulled up a lot of documentation regarding them.
Its somewhat of an education process. But when all is said and done all I see online is a bunch of kids on you tube flooring their vehicles back and forth up a road .
Swearing that thier car or truck is faster.
Buy a $48K truck, put a CAI on, rip the exhaust off, put a tune in because 375HP is not enough.
Im into longevity at my 51 years of age. I dont beat on my vehicles as I did as a kid.
But no computer management back then. tuning was different.
69 chevelle or the 68 442 I had was fast but we wanted faster..
If your an older gentlemen Im supprised your buying into it because as we know, gears, cams, exhaust, pistons and heads where the way to go. But with computer management it will be problematic..

dont you think all the HP tune claims, CAI, and other gadgets are done on the dyno at WOT? Most of the power increase are probably from running hi test. Who runs @ WOT. I never do.
IDK why one would want to tune out the torque management gm uses to re tard the timeing on the shift points. Keeping the timeing advanced through shifts will shorten the life of trans dont ya think?
As I said I was a gear head back when( speed freak) but that was before computer management.
Have you read even with a tune the truck will eventually relearn its old ways. Youll just have to reload it when you realize it... if you do..
It would be popular opinion that to download stock tune back after upgrade plays havoc with the trans..
Can we ask, Have you ever had a tune before.
And instead of us stating why we dont like tunes,and why its a farce, Tell us what you think a tune will do for you.
Personally I dont think you educated yourself enough on it..
Now we know you need to fix the speedo, but any speedo shop instrument shop can do it. I know its a cost thing.
cheapest recall unit I know is from Jet,, about $140
I still dont know why the rear guy will not recal for you. Did I miss that in the readings below?
