We have identified the problem and we did duplicate it here on our in house LBZ truck.
Our tuners are working on a revision as I type this, I would hope to see it done this week.

my 06 LLY has some problems also that you said that you were working on. mine falls flat on its face at random times kind of reminds me of low fuel pressure or a bad fuel filter...has cost me a lot in fuel filter replacement..also while accelerating at different speeds then leveling off to hold a speed say around 55 it jerks and surges ...kind of reminds me of a gas engine fouling out or something...any updates in the works.. :?

Gentlemen, I discussed this today with our tuners and engineers, and they have confirmed they are working on a fix as I type this.
These types of things are sometimes beyond our control, because when GM releases these new calibrations that we have never seen before, we have to re-engineer the tunes to work with them. This is almost as much work as creating the tool from scratch.
The new update should be ready in the next day or two, fortunately for all of us, we have an in-house LBZ here to test it on so we will know right away if it is fixed.

Thanks

Once you guys have the update to r19 or whatever you will call it, is it recommended that we up date the programer even though we have not been reflashed by GM?

I had my Sierra in for a steering issue about a month ago and the dealer stated there was no reason to update my ecu because there were no drivability concerns nor recalls that applied to my 06 LBZ. I am very happy with r18.

Thanks.
