Hi everyone! New to the forum here hoping to get some questions answered I can't seem to find on my own. I have a 2007 GMC 2500hd with the lbz. First off I found I can send my ecm into crank it up diesel and get a 5 way switch and it programmed for an egr delete. Has anyone sent gone through them? Also I was thinking of doing just an egr block maybe instead of delete? Any suggestions on kits to buy or should I just make the plates and stuff myself? Also is there any write ups on the delete and the block just so I have an idea on wut I'm doing before I do it.

Any in particular. I kind of liked the idea of having the switch. I have a superchip now that came with it and its not very convenient for switching.
X2 The vendors on this site are the best. Thats not to say Crank it up isn't, but their customer service seems lacking.
I would/did just buy a block off plate over doing a delete.

So I just need one block off plate if I go that route right? Also I read that our motors with no upgrades to injectors or anything else can do 530 horse. Is this true? I Am not one to be on it all the time so will this hurt my tranny if I have a tune that big or is there something I need to do in there? With my superchip I keep it in tow/performance and still hardly ever get on it.
$5k to get your trans built, but it could last years before it burns up the clutches. Like Coco said get a Trans go jr. its like $100 plus install. I would do that before a lift pump IMO. It would help your trans last that much longer when the lift pump will help it burn up that much faster.
Is that years if I don't hardly have it on the big tune or years just doing it once in awhile? I guess what's the biggest power jump a guy could go and be safe?
Welcome! I wouldn't go over 90 horse personally. Anything over that your clutches are guaranteed to slip. I slipped my worn out trans on a crappy 85hp bullydog tune when I bought my first duramax.
The tuners on here are great for pointing you in the right direction. I used Rob Coddens (IdahoRob), and he has been great for me.
I think 120hp tune with a transgo is pretty safe if your not towing or beating on it much. No telling on bigger my trans lived 2 years on a high 400s tune with lots of beating, but I had a transgo jr from day one almost. I trashed it doing rolling burnout which is a huge NoNo.
Ok thanks! That's why I wanted different tunes with a 5 way switch so t would be easy to switch but I'll keep it on a lesser one 99% of the time. Is the transgo hard to put in? It's just a shift kit isn't it?
Ok well I think I will try to find one of the vendors mentioned I can send my ecm to, it looks like that would save me some money I think. Then a blocker plate and transgo.

I wouldn't be switching tunes all that much, doesn't sound like you would, but just a word of advise is... our transmissions are constantly learning how we drive the truck. When switching from tune to tune the engine is providing different power levels to the transmission, the trans then has to learn how to shift with the different power level. Constantly switching back and forth can be harmful to the trans. Welcome to the forum and enjoy the truck!!
