1badgmc, we are vacationing in the Dallas area soon, how bout hooking my 98 up with some power programming, lol j/k!

Huh?

They did change something for '98, but it's in the computer. I have a programmer that will work on the '98+ Vortec 305 & 350, but it won't work on the '96-'97.

Sorry, I was messing with you about your programmer ^^^.... nevermind

Oh. Forgot about that post.

It wouldn't do you any good anyhow. It doesn't even do me any good, unfortunately. Even though I returned the tuning to stock on my '99 Yukon before I got rid of it, the programmer is still coded to that VIN and is worthless.

Damn that sucks, I didn't know that's how they worked.

They get locked onto a VIN so you can't use them on multiple vehicles, but usually if you remove the program, you can then program another vehicle. I guess mine doesn't work that way. Dammit.

NOthing was mentioned about the F44 package. Factory 14b 9.5 rear with 1500 Badging but Higher GVW and Bigger rear brakes. And + 1 more leaf spring in the pack. Pretty sure this was available from 88-98 in GMt400 trucks but 88-94 they were badged as 2500's but Still 6 lug just with the F44 package.

95+ F44 trucks were badged as 1500 but were identically equipped to 88-94 trucks.

crossyson joined! i see you bought an f44 truck, any pics that beast?

 

[crossy's son]

Not yet. I don't wanna post pics start modding it and get attached to it I bought it strictly to turn around and resell it after i did some cleaning up on it....I need money. Might as well follow my old man's foot steps Buying/Selling trucks.

this is what it looked like when i bought it.....i've de-old manned it since then and put on 285's for the winter. i think my old man is going to drive it during the winter while i try to sell it.

BTW I paid under $1000 for it and it runs and drives like new. Nuff' said.
