You didn't try it before you bought it? Here's what the U7198 (what yours SHOULD be) works with-

1999-2002 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Denali, Yukon, Avalanche V8
1999-2002 Cadillac Escalade
1999-2002 Camaro/Firebird LS1
1999-2003 Corvette LS1/LS6

Plug it in, and check the tuner status on it. It's either locked, or it's the wrong one.

how do you know it's not locked???

when you power it up and it's at the main menu, there's a revision number shown at the top of the screen.. what is that revision number?? should be a 1.xx, 2.xx or 9rxx number...

also, go to options - show last tune written - and what does it say?
