Any of you on the fence as to what tune/handheld to get.......Solve your problem eith a diablo/Lew set up.

Lew sent me a tune via email and whala....this thing has now earned the name FREIGHT TRAIN.

Wow the difference between the diablo tune and the Lew tune will rock your world. Service is instant.

Lew is a guy that is a Predator enthusiast and has the Diablo tuning software to tune more parameters. It's an added cost to the Predator but gives better results than the handheld alone. He may work for Diablo, but I don't think he does.

Seriously, Lew is the man. Ryan, here is what happens. You get a diablo preditor/trinity, not sure if trinity will work for you, but if you go to diablos website, and look at the products, it will tell you which one to get. They run around 325 I think, or look up the model you need and search used. Just make sure you get one that has been restored with the original tune. Once you got the handheld(diablo/trinity), you can load an 87 canned tune or a diablo tune (91/93). You can then go through all the parameters you want to modify the loaded tune until you get what you want. Then after a while, you can contact Lew and get him to custom tune your truck. He will need your stock tune and loaded/modified tune sent to him along with a data run that the diablo is capable of. He then sends you a tune via email that you load on your diablo from your pc and then transfer it to your truck. Wipe your pants and go for a ride. The initial cost covers life long tunes from Lew and a service second to none. Guaranteed!!!!!!!!!!! He worked with me for most of Sunday as I am completely computer illiterate. Hope this answer your ? The BIG difference here is that everything is done via email and there is no need to take your computer out your truck to mail off for an upgrade or future mod.

yes, the trinity will work on 2007.5 to 2010 trucks...

 

but if you go to diablos website, and look at the products, it will tell you which one to get. They run around 325 I think, or look up the model you need

predators from maryland speed are 325, and come with free shipping and the necessary pc interface cable/power adapter set you need. the Trinity is 599...

 

Just make sure you get one that has been restored with the original tune.

this is not an issue when you buy a brand new one. don't buy a used one, you'll have no warranty, and you can't be sure you'll get one that is "unlocked" and ready to use on your vehicle until you get it and go to try to tune your truck with it, and by that time, it's too late - then it will cost you another $129 to have diablosport unlock and reset it for you - so there goes your bargain used-price right out the window.

 

You can then go through all the parameters you want to modify the loaded tune until you get what you want.

if I do a custom tune for ya, then no need for you to adjust anything yourself with the tune, other than tire size if you have non-stock sized tires on there... everything else I will do in the custom tune, based on data from the data logs you'd provide me.

That was a hell of a long Blackbear month, and I don't think it's over. Justin knows what he is doing and can make your truck do laps around a Predator tuned truck.

I agree with your statement, but a preditor tuned vs a cmt /preditor is not the same thing. I believe they have access similar to the EFI live tuning capabilities.

As far as Cheerleading is concerned....Brother, check me out in the cummins forums and a few of these. I praise a positive product and service that I have firsthand experience with. I don't piggy back anyones posts. I will never bash something or service I have not used. These boards are for education, amusement, and input, to help fellow enthusiasts. I started my own post regarding my experience and am yet to find another product out there that allows you to do what you can with the diablo. If you know of one let us know.

I hear you guys................But some of the BB guys were too much (the

most vile fool was recently banned so its been pretty quiet).

If you DARED to post ANY comment or experience on any other tune or PCM

burn other than the BB/Justin deal the cheerleaders would be on you like a

pack of wolves with the insults and slams................

 

Even the previous "flavor of the month" Wait 4 Me tune crowd would get out

of hand at times but the BB crowd chased them off !

yes... the diablosport CMR tuning software is like hp-tuners, efi-live, etc etc...

 

and a custom CMR tune made for a predator to load, is different than the canned preset diablo tunes that come in the predator, heh...

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
