I was worried, I though I was going to have to quit going to Wallmart.

LOL... That is funny right there... but I couldn't think of a better analogy than that.

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

A good friend had a diablew tune done and the low end throttle response and shifting points feel so much better. It doesn't even feel like the same truck. Going from the diablo canned tune 87 octane to the custom 87 octane was night and day difference.

I'm trying to figure out which one I want. I like the screen on the Bullydog while the Diablo Intune is almost the same price. Thoughts?

Most people on here po po hand held, but I have used Diablo and Hypertec myself. I use them mostly to raised shift points, gear change, RPM, top speed. and their tune. I like the idea I could easily go back to stock if I needed too. Diablo let you mess a little more if you dare and knew what you where doing. I never had a problem with warranty work because of a tune, it seems now thou that may be an issue. There are lots good threads on this I would read them you may decide to go a different direction.

I like the ability to return to stock if I need to. I'm leaning towards the diablo Intune but they got a bad review from someone with a 14 silverado on Amazon and that is throwing me off..

Good experience with diablew intune on a 2014 Silverado. Both engine and shift points. Canned tunein the intune was fair but custom by diablew was much better.

If you get a BlackBear tune with the AutoCal you can go back to stock at any point. Your ECM and TCM tune along with your stock tune are stored on the AutoCal.

Anyone running the Intune on a 2014 5.3?

If so, have tried the economy tune and notice if DOD is engaged longer on the hwy? MPG improve? I wish they had a tune for E85, since our maps are pretty aggresive for that fuel.

Ended up ordering the diablo. I liked how you can program the throttle response which is really slow on the stock tune. Should have it in a couple of days. Can't wait!

Custom custom custom!!!!! Let a tuner tune it while driving it!! Every truck is different!! Custom custom custom!!! Going back to stock will profit you nothing nowadays. You tune it your gonna get busted. Get a tune done for your truck only not one that will work in 50000 trucks as a flash program. Its worth the extra money and alotta times cheaper than a handheld. If custom isnt an option then .............im truly sorry!! Aint.no tune like your own personal tune!

I'm in Alaska and custom tunes are out of my reach. That is why I want the ability to put it back to stock for dealer visits, and the lifetime oil changes where the dealer might update the program without me knowing. I am hoping the diablo is worth the hype. My girlfriend has an Edge controller on her 2013 Silverado with the dashpod and it is slick and the truck has great throttle response. Hopefully the diablo has good results too

As of right now, I'm not a diablo fan but I heard Lew is a very capable tuner who can give you a custom tune remotely (talk to him about details). It would be a good tune for a basically stock truck / bolt ons. He works for Diablo and sends you a custom tune to put in you Diablo can.

He trolls this board as Monte06SS or 06MonteSs, something like that. He will make you a good deal if you buy the tuner and his custom tune as a package and they are sight supporting vendors which is second best to local support.

Just curious so no throwing rocks please, how much HP gains on a stock engine are we talking about from hand held and custom tune. I would buy them mainly for firmer shifts, higher shift points, gear changing, higher top speed. I couldn't imagine more than 20 HP in a stock engine.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
