6.2L to be tuned by AutoCal

GasHog369 · January 29, 2014

The time has come to wake this beast up. A fellow member was selling his AutoCal he had installed on his 2010 6.2L , traded it is and I am the new owner

From what I gather on BBP website I have to email them to pay the $300 for the licenseand tune...

Is there anything anyone who has experience with the 6.2L has done special by Justin to tune it?

Im thinking it would be great for max performance as the standard driving tune. But also since I do not tow, to have my tow haul mode to switched to no trans restrictions like I read on there website.

Can the tune also setup the computer to utilize a higher amp alternator? I have my 280 amp from my old truck i would love to have on this truck but was told i would have to have the computer changed to utilize the full 280 output..

I want to keep my stock tune file on there also if possible, if i have to return the tune back to stock.

My last question might be unrelated to what Justin can do but this issue is what i did research as "brake control"... When I turn off traction control and stabilitrac, something still kicks in and slows you down again... I tested this the one day in a parking lot turning off the nannies and as soon as the motor reved and wheels spun the traction light blinked and it slowed down the wheel spin. Research lead me towards "brake control".. Can this be changed?

This video shows what im talking about.. Not my video but one of someone elses same issue.

Can Justin change the remote start time for it to be on for longer?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Cant wait to get the tune done... And cant wait for nice weather to drive on dry streets with no ice / snow. lol

Do a stopwatch test of 0-60 and a 0-100 mph before you get the tune and then after .Post the times on here so we can see what the tune really does.

That might not be posible since the roads are in no condition for bslls to the wall off the line starts.. Nor anything above 70 mph...This time of year is either snow covered roads / black ice / pot holes left from plows / ice / etc.. LOL I currently have 350 lbs of weight in the back to try and keep some traction.

Today when i woke up it was -3 degrees and -25 -30 wind chills.

You will want to be able to let it rip for the data log. Little cruising, 0-100, rolling starts, "passing" situations, etc.

GasHog369 · January 29, 2014

That will be no problem.. I just wont be able to log an actual track time 0-60 0-100 since there is no road condition good enough to hold the power. I would just spin and the nanny crap will kick in and shut me down... even with it off.. see above exlanation for that..

But the cruising / and passing stuff will be no prob. lol Thats everyday fun of driving this truck!

Even my old 5.3 screams since it's been tuned. It's alive!

GasHog369 · February 2, 2014

Awesome. I cant wait to get it done. Wish this weather would let up tho.. I love the snow but hate having to wash off the truck every week.

Hey Jerry, send you a response. To answer some of the questions it maybe easier over the phone..LOL. It helps to be a bit computer savvy as to switch back and forth from stock to tune you will need to transfer the tune files too and from the autocal unit via a PC. You can not have both files on the autocal at the same time.

Make a backup of your stock and modified tune files.

Got the PM, Thanx.

Reading up on the BBP site, it appears the autocal can hold multiple files on it..

Small, lightweight design can be easily stored in a glove box or storage area for quick tune change

On-board memory allows the storage of tune files and/or countless hours of logged data

I will be logging in soon enough with them. Have had no time lately.

For you one engine cal file and one trans cal file

temmert1 · February 4, 2014

CHris is correct, one ECM and one TCM file at a time....

Basically you cant switch back and forth from stock to tune without plugging Autocal into your PC.

Yup one of each, after I put the bb tune on I go back to my computer and load the stock tunes on the autocal and the keep it in my glove box. So if Im on the road and need service I can quick switch it back and not worry about it

Thats a great idea. Thats what i will do for sure.

Ive been set back right now after i got out of hospital and had surgery. only drove my truck once in the last 3 weeks! Cant wait to get back at it but gotta concentrate on getting better first. As soon as im driving tho i will be going thru with the tune.
