Looking for input here, I recently changed my gear ratio and need a tuner to correct the speedometer and reset the ABS. Wondering which is better or preferred and why... I am looking at the Flashpaq by superchips, and maybe the predator by Diablosport. By the way the truck is a 2006 with 4.8L, Thanks!

Most people on hear are going to recommend custom tunes because they cost less and supposedly and more power. Me, I have a predator (the best handheld tuner by far!) and I love it, with the predator you can do just about anything, much more in depth than the flashpaq, for sure. :cheers:

I have had a predator for my 09 Silverado but ended up selling it. I then bought a Superchips Cortex and am pretty pleased. I could tell way more difference with the Cortex but that probably has alot to do with Diablo not having TCM support for my truck. I had a diablo on my old 02 Avalanche and was decently pleased with it. It actually had more adjustments than the Cortex But sometimes that is just more of a headache. I found myself constantly tweaking the settings trying to "get more".

 

I really have no recomendation for your 06 4.8. Just thought I would give you my personal experience.

the diablosport predator will give you much more adjustability by far than any other handheld device out there... and the best gains...

 

and on your 2006 truck, you will have tranny adjustments available as well....

 

 

plus, with the diablo programmers, you can also get yourself a custom tune made specifically for your truck to get you even more performance over and above the included preset tunes... can't do that with "the other one"...

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
