Installed my wideband O2 sensor last week. Got the MAF curve tuned nicely. Now to jump deeper into the rabbit hole of tuning.

what did you do to adjust the maf curve, and what results did it yield?

Hauled this precious cargo home for the first time from the NICU after 40 days!   Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

You data log with the wideband. Has to be in open loop so the factory O2 sensors don't adjust fuel. I have a CAI, cat back exhaust and a Soler Perf TB. Those mods made it run lean. I adjusted the MAF Frequency to add fuel. My LTFT's were about +11 now they are around +2. 

 

It feels more responsive on the tip in. From a stop I would accelerate and it would lag for a second then start moving. That problem is gone. Fuel economy went up from 15L/100km to 14L/100km and the DIC calculation is more accurate.

 

Going out today to do more logging and tuning

Tried to take my front bilseteins off to properly lift the truck with a spindle (2wd) and when I was removing the nut after compressing the spring the shaft inside broke and made a giant hydraulic fluid mess on my floor and caused me to get stuck buying an overpriced stock strut local since nobody has anything around me and bilsteins are on some national shortage

Mounted a wi-fi hotspot to the upper glove box using some command strips. Pretty neat having rolling wi-fi!

I have Verizon, and this is their Orbic Speed device - costs about $80. I was originally looking at their Hum product which is actually meant for use in a car, but that thing collects a TON of data about you and your driving - and I wasn't really interested in Verizon having even more of my personal info than they already do. Might be a good option if you don't care about that though.

I've only had the device for a few days but it works great so far. I also have unlimited data - which is probably a must for this. I think you'd burn through your data pretty quickly otherwise. Costs $13 or $23 to add to your plan depending on what else you have going on

Wifi is so slow in my truck... I am paying $15 a month, but it is just bad half the time.  It is throttled or something.  Buying unlimited through OnStar.  Thought about putting it on my att unlimited, but I can always hotspot from phone.   It's just me in truck

I have one of those, but after 15GB/mo, they charge you for each additional GB.

WiFi in my truck is great, I use it all of the time even though my iPhone is on unlimited data. I don't have to think about hot-spotting my iPhone to my iPad as it automatically connects to the truck WiFi.
I pay $30 a month for unlimited and not throttled as far as I can tell.
My AutoSync dongle on the OBD connector connects automatically for updates and mods I've done on the BTDiesel website.
Also, I just received an update from Chevrolet for the rear camera hitch guidance.
In addition, with On-star, I can start or stop my truck, lock it, unlock it, etc. through the myChevrolet app, or use my Echo to send commands while at home.

Had to replace shocks all around, as well as upper and lower control arms. New set of Fox 2.0 struts, AC Delco lower control arms and Zone Off-road upper control arms. Replaced the rears with Fox 2.0 shocks as well. Had the same shocks struts before, and finally need to replace them.

 

Shock fluid on the floor is from the previous set.

So your expensive shocks failed and you bought the same one's again?

 

Did you know those shocks are fully serviceable? I think they actually recommend a full service on a yearly basis.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Byrds8 · Posted

      100% agree, there are a lot of variables. I definitely do not drive I’ve like a grandpa but also don’t drive like I stole it. Truck is currently in the shop so I’ll have to get weight later. The price for driving it doesn’t bother me. My precious was a 6.2l so the cost between the two is a wash.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By newdude · Posted

      No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
