What? You must be selling this or are leaving out some details. Your telling us you picked up 7 mpg with a tune? I think you are trying to make it sound better then it is by using your stock city mpg (14.1-15.1) and comparing it to the highway mpg after the tune (22). You aren't going to find much more mpg from these things, stock they are tuned so heavily for mpg and reliability it is hard to find mpg let alone 7. Compare apples to apples please to not mislead people. Your truck stock should have done 22 mpg highway. Are you running E rated tires?

theres always that one guy on the forums.

 

This was a apples to apples comparison, same route everyday to work 120 miles round trip. Highway and city mix. Before tune on this trip I got 14.1 -15.6 mpg. Same trip after the tune I got 19-22 I can post pictures of the cluster if you want! I Dont sell anything I was just telling him.

 

Diablo lew tunes, arent a performance chip or a "one setting fits all" tune. Its a program you log data and send to him and he creates a specific tune for your truck using data collected by user. (knock retard, air fuel mix ration, shift timings anything and everything). He changes everything from A-Z to make the engine more efficient. With the correct add ons to your truck he can tune it even better. Lots of people have had similar results to me but most drive with a heavier foot since it has more power but drive it in normal use and you will get similar results. Im not telling the guy he can expect 22 mpg like me by any means as for the environment plays a role in that but if he lives in oklahoma I would bet $100 on it he would get the same mileage as me!

 

Tires are toyo open country 33x12

do your own research.

 

here is one under testimonials i found

 

MPG: Before:12.8mpg, now with tune:17.1mpg (wow!)... 0-60 2WD: Before: 8.2seconds (bone stock), now with tune: 7.8 flat... I also run a few dirt drags on a 200ft dirt strip... Best 0-60 in 4LOW has been 5.4seconds! Awesome job man!!

Thanks for the heads up! I don't want loud exhaust either, what did you go with?

MBRP 3" Cat Back, Single Side Exit, AL its a little deeper on start up and idle than the stock exhaust (just a little, not much) and down the highway or high RPMs you cant hear it at all! Get the performance without the noise! double whammy!

Got my towing mirror installed and wired up! Way better than the stock little ones if you ask me! especially pulling my 28ft car hauler!

PS install took me 3 hours, I figured it take me 30 minutes but its never that easy right!

was plug and play up to a point. I had to hardwire running lights, cargo lights, and the reverse led lights but yes power, heated, and turn signal all work. I just had to find the correct wires to tap into for the extra features towing mirrors have.

Starting all over again, out with the 2014 and back with a 2016. This time I stepped down from the SLT to SLE, so it has a few less options but I don't mind yet but I'll admit, I enjoyed the heated steering wheel and the mirrors angling down. So far I have only tinted the front windows to match the rear and some how the muffler fell off so it now has a 3" pipe in place but the butterfly valve is hose clamped open and the resonator is still in place.

 

In case anyone is interested,

New guy here. Learned a lot here by browsing around. This is my 2016 Sierra Elevation in Iridium Metallic, just added the 4" Westin nerf bars, carbon fiber GMC badge covers and some Sportsman's black seat covers. 4.3, with flowmaster 40 and deleted resonator.

I would think so, they don't come close enough to the front to be in the way of them. I'm definitely glad I got the 4" steps, my big boots wouldn't do well on any smaller.

I couldn't resist the year-end deals and bought a Sierra 1500 SLE. I've already added a spray-in bed liner, bed cover, step rails and Weathertech mats.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
