Vehicle Compatibility
This tuning package is designed for Chevrolet and GMC trucks equipped with the second-generation 3.0L Duramax LZ0. Always confirm the vehicle year, model, engine and ECM configuration before ordering.
| Year | Make / Model | Engine |

| 2023+ | GMC Sierra 1500 | 3.0L Duramax LZ0 |
How to Identify an LZ0
If you are unsure whether your truck is equipped with an LM2 or LZ0, check the 8th digit of the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number):
- If the 8th digit is T, the truck has the LM2 engine.
- If the 8th digit is 8, the truck has the LZ0 engine.
As a general rule, 2020–2022 trucks use the LM2 while 2023+ trucks use the LZ0. The VIN is the best way to verify engine configuration before ordering.

| Tow | Moderate performance | Towing and hauling applications |
| Street | Higher performance | Daily driving with increased performance |
Exact tune output depends on the calibration supplied for your specific vehicle. Select the appropriate tune option when configuring your order.
