6.2L to be tuned by AutoCal

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 :driving:

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.
