I'm too excited to not post about ordering an AutoCal from Justin. I was banging my head against the wall trying to decide on wheel/tire or a tune as a birthday present to myself. After reading all of the good things on this forum, I decided to go with BBT!

 

I understand there are hundreds of happy customers posting about their experience with BBT, but I don't care! :ughdance:

My truck is completely stock other than me getting bored one Saturday and painting the mirror caps and removing the side molding, this will be my first large expenditure on this truck.

 

I had an SCT with a custom tune on an 07 F-150, woke that truck up out of a coma and the pedal was worn out in a few months. Sounds like Justin is able to do similar things for this 5.3 that needs a kick in the rear end.

 

I've read of a couple guys getting a little chirp chirp between 1st and 2nd. I gotta say, if Justin can get that out of my Sierra, he's at the top of my books.

I have a 2011 5.3 chev silverado that has a BBT from Justin and there is no chirp chirp in any of the gears.It is better than stock but you better burn premium fuel.

My stock 6.2L with the 3.73 and 14 bolt posi rear lights up the tires from a slow roll all the way into 3rd gear with the BBT. It's friggin insanely quick.

 

Congrats!!!

I am doing some scientific research of the stock tune, which involves me driving like a jackwagon all the way to work. My truck is suprisingly quick like it is, has no problem breaking loose from a standstill, turn the wheel slightly and its sideways. Maybe its the weight reduction from removing the molding...

 

It does seem like the truck is confused with how many gears it has, hopefully Justin can give it a quick lesson on shifting.

I didn't get an acknowledgement when I ordered the AutoCal. It just showed up about 4 or 5 days later. Patience, It's about a 2 to 3 week process to get your tune.

I think we're getting close! Justin contacted me about preferences and requests today. I was a little disappointed to hear that the tow/haul button cannot be used as a sport mode on the 6-speed, but he's hooking me up with a sport TCM file instead.

 

Got it all primed up with 91 octane today, chompin at the bit!

All i can say is, thanks Justin and Jenna! Special thanks to Justin for developing my tune on a Saturday night... during a hunting trip. Anyone that dislikes that kind of service has a screw loose.

 

I havent had a chance to really try out the tune yet, been busy preparing for Sandy. That and i still have some residual 87 go juice left in the tank, waiting to do the follow uo log until I can give Justin the true flavor of the 91 octane I buy.

 

Zero to Blackbear tuned in less than two weeks! More to come later this week.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
