Just joined today and I'm pretty weak with the site as of yet. I have followed this and the "SS" website for years and decided to finally join after buying a new body style chevy. This is my fourth one and just got it in October so not many mods have been added. I surely have dreams though. I wont bore you anymore. :loser:

Very possible. What is the $ like for the tune? What is done?

 

Sorry I'm a lil new to the Blackbear tunes for these. I have two buddies with SS's so I just know the guys they go to, the kinds of tunes they get.

Cost (it shows up better on their site)

 

Service Tune CostOne-time tune service fee per vehicle.

Subsequent re-tune service is free, all you'd need to pay is shipping and applicable core charge(s)/deposit Equipment DepositScan cable security deposit for the data-logging tune.

$250 deposit applies to all 98-06 trucks/SUVs and LS1/LS6 vehicles.

$400 deposit applies to most 05+ autos and 07+ trucks/SUVs.

Deposit is fully refunded when returned within 2 weeks of completion of the tuning process and 60 days from the start of tuning process. If returned after 4 weeks from completion of the tuning process, deposit refunds may be evaluated on a case by case basis. Core ChargeCore charges vary by vehicle and are required only if you are unable to send in your factory computer(s) to be programmed and/or you'd prefer a set of replacements. These core charges are refunded if/when your factory control modules are returned.

$60 - 98-00 "Classic" body style trucks/SUVs

$100 - Gen-III vehicles (99-06 trucks/SUVs, 99-05 LS1/LS6 cars)

$160 - Gen-IV Engine Computer (Many 05+ autos, 07+ trucks/SUVs)

$60 - 4 Speed Transmission computer (Many 05+ autos, 07+ trucks/SUVs)

If you are unsure which core charge applies to your vehicle, please do not hesitate to ask. TotalPrice shows total cost when scan cable equipment is returned. Range reflects price with and without core charge refunded.

Traditional TuneWith the traditional tune, you provide answers to a set of questions, we program your tune and mail it out. $200 -- $60-$220 $200-$420

In Person TuneAny tuning in-person falls into this category, including group tuning. If you're interested in organizing a group tuning event in any part of the country, please contact [email protected]. Organizers are eligible for a discount on their tune. $250 -- $60-$220 $250-$470

Data-Logging TuneWe provide an EFILive Scan cable to be used in conjunction with a laptop to record data from your vehicle as you drive around. This data is then analyzed and used to build your tune. The tune is mailed to you to be installed and in most cases you'll be able to use the cable to perform a CASE learn procedure. A final driving log is created and sent to ensure that the tune is operating properly and then the equipment is sent back for a refund. $300 $250/$400 $60-$220 $300-$520

Electric Fans/

Speedometer Change OnlyIf you are interested only in recalibrating the speedometer or enabling electric fans (on 99-06 truck computers), this is the perfect option for you. $55 -- $60-$160 $55-$215

Wow thanks for all the info! I really appreciate it!

 

That is definately something I would like to do. The only extra question I would ask is... would it be better to wait until I had exhaust and CAI done so I'm not tuning twice or maybe three times?

 

Once again thanks for the help!

 

We will have to try and cruise sometime when I'm down in the area.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
