Get er tuned and turn off AFM

 

Sent from my Note 4 on Tapashit

I'd like to but I just can't justify the money for a tune, for me it's not worth it.

Only way my truck would ever get a tune is if I got that twin turbo kit haha

The number of hours spent on any given forum are directly proportional to the number of dollars spent on subject vehicle.   Ask me how I know.

The second you drive it after a tune, you'd immediately feel justified. This is my 3rd truck and I've tuned all 3 of my trucks. Makes a world of a difference.

You can justify a $500 exhaust but not a $400 tuner!!?? The diablo intune has canned tunes and you can get a custom tune from lew as well if you are not happy!!

Tell me about it.... Its killing me not having a tune right now because i know what the truck has in it but its all held back!

 

Within the year the tune will pay fir its self in fuel savings.

Well the exhaust was just a sound upgrade, I guess I'm just not interested in optimizing the performance, plus I don't want any issues with the warrantee. I really eventually just want to trade it in for a duramax. Then I'll tune that haha.

I want a tune but not worth losing the powertrain warranty. In a few years when it expires.

But what about the warranty on the duramax? Lol

 

Whats the most harm a canned tune can do?? A dyno tune and you telling the tunner push it more and then you blow it up.

haha got me on that, suppose the risk vs reward with a tune on the duramax is worth it to me

Figure if I'm going to risk a warranty I'm going to go all out with FI, or cam, heads ect. not just a catback exhaust

thats just my opinion anyway haha

I just ordered the Volant catback tonight! Very excited to get it installed. However, I have one question....can anyone with this exhaust tell me if the Corsa dual style tip fit this system??? I know it is 3" and should clamp right, but I am wondering if it will be the correct length??? here is a link to the tip I would like to install http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cse-14031?seid=srese1&gclid=CIWhxfLJ88oCFQEGaQodrSoG-A

Same idea i have... Make it a "corsa" with the tips since i love the cosa tip.... I would just order it..... And if its off take it to an exhaust shop and have them bend/cut the tailpipe section for it to fit how u want..... Shouldn't take but 20min of their time

I installed a Borla ProXS muffler and custom tubing locally for a lot less than the pre-made kits. I like it!

 

I want a tuner too but like others; I am weary of the warranty issue. I agree if I shove a rod through my engine I'll pay for it--but dealership I spoke to told me that even if I have a sensor fail and they see that I was tuned (or pull data and send it to GM), I will get branded and lose my warranty. I hear mixed words on whether they can really see anything once you return it to stock.

 

It's my first Chevy; not familiar with how they play the game. My friend has a 2015 with lew tune and OMG.

I don't understand why some think you will launch a rod through the hood with a tune..... Guys.... Come on. Lol

 

I have had a custom dyno/speed density tune on my colorado for the better part of 9years and a LOT of nitrous. I have yet to have anything go wrong with the engine because of the tune.

 

I may have blown a hole in my intake manifold.... Bur thats what i get for not purging the lines and not checking my plugs.

 

 

 

I am just torn om WHO is going to tune my truck lol

I didn't say a tune would. I said if I threw rod through block while tuned because of me doing something stupid, I'll accept and pay for it.

 

What bothers me is the dealer saying if I have a sensor fail and they pull ECM and see it was tuned at one time I'll be denied warranty on whole power train.

 

That I don't understand.

 

I had a heavily modified 2013 Taurus SHO before this and I never had a concern with Ford. I used to take car in for oil changes and never detune it. Never had a warranty issue.

Warranty works in the form of what is affected.

 

I took my truck in for a blown transmission once tuned and all and it was repaird under warranty.

 

How would you do "something stupid" with a tune in the truck? I mean yah if you slap a blower on it and fuse a piston to the block i can see that being denied warranty work lol

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
