Wheatley not a vendor anymore?

This was not my intention to start something. In my experience with Charlie I had a very good experience and nothing but good to say about him. I only brought this up because I was happy with what I got from him and was concerned he wasn't tuning anymore. Knowing better now I'm at ease. And to 2003_SuperSport I appreciate your service to this country as I do with all who have made that commitment to our country.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead. I had Wheatley do a tune for my SS a couple years ago. Truck has every bolt on minus forced induction or internals. I tried PM'ing him but it looks like he hasn't been on this site in 18 months. Does anyone know if I can tow with it? I remember when I had a superchips programmer in my dodge towing anything over 2500 pounds you had to switch from 91 performance to 91 towing. Just got retired from the Fire Dept and am in the process of moving down to NC to live a little easier. Towing a 7x18 trailer rated for 7,000 pounds and don't want to mess up my truck in the process. Drive will be about 12 hours each way and need to do a minimum of 2 trips. Hopefully I can just hit the tow button. If anyone has any info that'd be great.

03 Silverado SS

Full exhaust no cats (long tube headers, cat delete, magnaflow dual exhaust)

CAI

ported throttle body

B and M transmission cooler

He doesnt give out his phone number... I have always had good fast responses... I talk to him all the time through email and facebook... He is a busy man who has another job and a big family... I don't blame him for not giving out his number, I wouldnt either if it was a side job and not my full time job... Now if he tuned full time as a career I would expect him to have a shop phone at least.... He told me he wasn't going to support this site anymore about 4 months ago... The main reason was people bashing eachother all the time and the family attitude went away... Plus to many people wanted free retunes with a vehicle they purchased from someone else and then talked crap about him and other tuners on this site and other sites...( dont get mad at me this is what I was told) If your tune is not right don't cry about just tell him and he will tune it right... I know Charlie and he is a great man and a God fearing Patriot. He takes care of us veterans and loves America and our rights and 2nd amendment... With myself who has proudly served 9 years in the USMC he has shown me the upmost respect and thankfullness and in return I am grateful... It may sound like I am defending him but this is all my personal experience and I'd love to see any of you have a full time job, be a full time daddy and husband, take care of hundreds if not thousands of customers on the side calling 24/7, and try to find time for a little R&R... He is the kind of guy that will go above and beyond for you but just like me, if you screw me over I wont lift a finger until absolutley necessary... I know Zippy is a great man too but I havnt had any personal conversations with him besides a phone chat one time. So I cant speak for him... If you dont have nothing nice to say dont say it...

Simper Fi and amen to this…
