I believe Black Bear offers a "rented" autocal option as well. Where you pay a deposit, tune your truck, return the auto cal and receive your deposit.

I don't believe so because each VIN required a unique license as well and cannot be removed from a VIN once paired. At the end of the day you gotta pay to playing and tunes aren't cheap.

Ah that's true, that must have been an option for older trucks. Which require different types of hardware, i.e PCM's etc.

 

You're right though, tunes def aren't cheap but it's like they always say you get what you pay for. I had a cheaper "custom" tune a long time ago and my engine blew up. Take that how you will, just stating what happened.

Yes with the older trucks they do a swap on the physical hardware while they modify it. I've never had bad luck like that. But I like the Autocal route since it isn't restricted like Diablo. Plus all the tuners in my area use Autocal for GM products.

Leveled and got some new wheels and tires. Had it aligned but it pulls to the right. Guy at the shop says that its out of alignment in the rear and theres no way to adjust for that. Anyone know anything about this?

 

Not sure if anyone responded but you can fix that. You have to loosen your u bolts and the centering pin on the leaf springs. The leafs and axle will move forward and back quiet a bit. Should fix your issue. I had this issue and was able to fix it with what I told you.

I've definitely heard of many others doing that to fix the issue as well.

I HAD to. I had a kid hit my tire and sheared the centering pin. Took a while to get it centered again. d2bd0eb1a9c090e2a99f096a82ca1268.jpg51e3ccfc542130d63d48e375b4f7be45.jpg

Did you do this yourself or have a shop? Refinished or actually stripped it and repainted?

 

I'm seriously looking into a complete paint job when I upgrade at 40k. Over 15+ chips and counting all over.

Employees dad doing it... cheap. I lucked out and hired a guy who has a whole family of bodymen and painters.

    • 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.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
