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

Contacting Diablo is where I would start.

Spent more than 2 hours on the phone (most of which on hold), only to have the last guy say he sent all the data to engineers and he had no answer for me. He even went so far as to tell me to send it back for my money back.

 

What I really want is a better tune for my truck not the money back so I might need to go somewhere else to get it. Any suggestions for another tuner?? And btw thanks a ton for taking the time to answer all my questions.

I can fully understand your angst. Have you tried their forum? As far as taking the time to answer all your questions, not sure if that was meant to be a smart @ss comment. If it was it certainly wasn't warranted.

I was merely trying to steer you in the right direction.

 

As far as other tuners, I'm about to pull the plug on my diablo ( another issue) and go with HP tuners. There is a much larger learning curve, but there are a couple of forum members within this forum with vast knowledge and are willing to help.

 

Best of luck to you,

 

Mike

You could not be more off base. I was actually thanking you not trying to be sarcastic. I am not sure how a thank you can cone off any other way but sorry you misread it. I realize that everyone has other things going on in their lives and appreciate any help I get.

You will get a hell of a lot better drivability tuning on a load bearing Dyno (Eddie current) and I can get a much more thorough tune in a fraction of the time. I would rather tune on the street than on a typical freewheel Dyno like the Dynojets most people use. I have had 2 mustang Dyno's and my next one will be mustang as well.

Agree. I Just Got Done Tuning Off A Dyno Dynamics Last Monday. Not My Truck Though. Dynojets Are Overrated. Mustangs Are Good. Lots Of Guys Use Them Around Here. Only One Dynojet Where I Live.

Steve - let me just say it's damn refreshing to see someone with so much knowledge and positive feedback/advice on a forum. You freakin dominate! I just read through the 23 pages on this sucker and I am impressed, granted my custom tuning skills is pretty much non-existent but I am no dunce and understand everything :)

 

I will be buying the HP Tuners setup for sure, my 6.2 Denali needs a kick in the pants for, especially in the TCM. I can't believe GM let these pigs off the lot, this tranny setup is a complete joke, right along with the ridiculous throttle response. Screw the voided warranty, I didn't buy a 54k truck to replace u-joints every other oil change because of the horrid shift changes and slamming gear changes... Sorry to the OP for the rant/vent session, I had a less than good day almost rear-ending someone on two separate occasions during the drive into work this morning because of the throttle lag and mass tranny confusion..

 

Would you be willing to share the tune you have for the 6.2's you did? I would need a solid starting point to tackle this monster. Thanks in advance!

Im not a cheer leader for any truck or car co., but now when we come to expect 200k plus miles out of these trucks and performance cars we have to expect some safe guards. I can remember the days we would hope to get 60k out of a ford C6 or a Chevy turbo 400 if we were pulling a camper or what ever. Performance engines 60k, were toast. So today we are getting the power we want all we have to do is do a tune or not, Ill take it.

I'm in talks with Blackbear to have them tune my 2014. They tuned two of my previous vehicles and I loved the power/performance I got from them....

 

Only thing that worries me is the trace left on the PCM/ECM after tuning. If I encounter an issue down the road....I don't wanna be boned.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
