We have performance tuners for your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L Z71 that can give you extra horsepower and torque for climbing hills with your 28-foot trailer. Please click on the link provided to see all tuner and tuner/monitor options from Edge and others.
For the most performance gain I suggest the Edge Gas Evolution CS2 Performance Tuner # EP85350. This unit offers up to 20 more horsepower and up to 20 additional ft-lbs of torque. The monitor functions allow you to keep track of engine parameters and to clear diagnostic codes. It plugs right into your OBD-II port.
This tuner is legal in 49 states but it is not approved for use in California.
