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 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

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
