I have received numerous PMs asking about my tune, so many in different threads, I don't believe I could find them all, so I thought I would just initiate a seperate thread to address it. This may be

I just had Black Bear tune done and wow my truck at full throttle shifts into 4th at 100 mph. Transmission shifts so much better. Throttle response is fantastic. Best tune I have ever had done.

Ok, there seems to be a little confusion and a lot of misinformation passed around the internet that WILL eventually bite one of us in the butt when they go in for a warranty after they get their truc

I can't imagine it NOT being able to change your speedo calibration. As far as fuel mileage, that is dependent on the current efficiency of the vehicle. A good tune will never make it worse. The truck will feel lighter and MPG gains will be minimal, maybe 1 sometimes 2 mpg on the average vehicle. Thats a good tune in general, I never run canned tunes and I'm not personally familiar with Diablo/Diablew except for the mostly good things that has been reported.

 

If you were closer I would help you out, I don't do this for monetary gains, its just a hobby.

I will have experience with Lew's tune soon. I'll be sure to report out once it's dialed in.

It was close to 14.0 AFR. I don't have a permanent install but I will. Just working to much.

ThAts really lean for WOT, it should be around 12.8-13.0ish

Oh I know didn't get to spend much time for the tune. Once I get more time off and can use the dyno again and get a good tune dial in. Let you know where it works best for my motor. My buddy had limited time for the dyno. So kinda cram it in. I didn't put much timing on it either. Only 3°. I still have a lot to work with to get it right. Once I do I get the dyno results posted. Its on me right now since I'm working a lot. You will probably get yours done before me.

Put the wideband in permanently now. Got it down 13.2. Just finished it. No dyno though. Just driving it on the street. Adjusted timing again. Running good now. Still needs more tweaking. My buddy help me the first time and I didn't see the AFR until I texted him. Oh well.

I'm looking to tune my 14 to primarliy reduce the torque manangment which is driving me nuts. At $307 through Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/DiabloSport-I1000-inTune-Vehicle-Programmer/dp/B0064IU5FW) this might be the most economical method.

 

Just a heads up for everyone... if you purchase the intune for any less than $389, Diablo will not warranty it. I talked to Chris at Diablo and the companies that are selling them cheaper are not being sold to anymore because they are not following diablo's selling guidelines. He said if something happened to it, they will ask for your receipt to verify you paid the correct amount, and if you didn't... you are SOL.

LOL... That is about as big of bullshit as I have heard in a long time. So.... what I get from this is if you are not aware of their dealer pricing practices and search for the best deal out there (which 99% of people do) then you "could" be hung out to dry because you (the end user) tried to save a couple dollars. The issue that Diablo is having with their dealers should not be taken out on the end user, even if it is just an empty threat. The fact that Diablo even posted that on their Website is somewhat disturbing to me.

 

After stewing on this for a few minutes, I think this warrants its own thread.

      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.

      Slate Electric Truck

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

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

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
