Any luck? Diablosport has left me just waiting..

Did you email or post on their forum? I just posted on the General Intune forum with the copy of my PCM file and Mike sent me a new file to try within 24 hours. I loaded it in the Intune and just installed in my truck. Everything went smooth except for it won't let me adjust any parameters. I just posted my last tune written file and will see what Mike has to say.

I have always had no troubles when posting on their forum getting replies and help

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

Just been emailing support. All they said about the adjustable parameters is " we'll have an update soon." It wouldn't be a big deal if they didn't claim that their product could do all these things for my specific vehicle, then not follow through. I got an exhaust for my truck and the whole reason I really spent the money for the tuner was to turn AFM off. Just frustrating.

I'm not talking about stoich, I'm talking wot afr.. And anyone who is tuning I'm sure took a baseline afr reading, that's what I'm asking for. I know what the truck needs to run but curious to know what it's running stock.

 

If I remember correctly, Mine was running around 11.6-11.8 at shift point running 10% but they run lean as hell till 5k rpms due to factory WOT fuel table delay parameters. They also run pretty close to commanded AFRs so MAF seems to be dialed in pretty well from the factory.

 

I doubt I still have stock log from 2years ago but I can pull up a tune and tell you what the ECU is commanding if you like? I just don't hang onto all my scans after I complete a tune. I'll keep a few to record issues that I can reference back to if needed and a few completed tune scans to show customer what the vehicle is doing if he asks any questions.

Thanks for the offer, I won't need to know what the ECU is commanding I'll see that when we scan it.

 

I was really wondering how close does the truck run to the Commanded AFR, you answered my question. Just out of curiosity how much fuel did you add to eliminate the lean spot up to 5k?

 

I take it as these are not nearly as pig rich as the older trucks from factory.

Just goy my Diablew custom tune done. I got to say Lew is the man and turns these around quick and responds lightning fast. I only have 15 miles on it but will be towing a good 600 miles over the 4th so that will be a good shakedown. I can already tell the shift points are better and it holds gear far better then stock. Power is good as well.

They are not as rich, no.

I didn't add any fuel to overcome this, I simply adjusted values that lock out the WOT tables till the engine reaches 5k RPM and moved it down to down to 2K, then changed the multipliers in the WOT table to give me a 12.8-13.0 AFR when mashing the skinny pedal.

Awesome, thanks! Appreciate the info.

What are you using to make adjustments?

Using HPTuners.

 

Truck has AFE Momentum Intake, AFE TB Spacer, Magnaflow muffler swap.

Nice... if this is your first DI motor PM me your email and I'll send you a couple street tuned vehicle Calibrations to stick in your compare window so you can see what I did vs your stock calibration and if yours is E85 there are minor mods to those tables as well that made modest improvements to the power.

My apologies. Based on the follow up conversation, I misunderstood what you were asking.

Big is right about adding a wide band to a stock truck, definitely not popular but I'm one of those guys that likes to know how well the factory calibration dialed in. Needless to say, I was very impressed with these new DI motors, it's all the nannies that make me want to burn my face off.

Try to post on their forum, they seem to reply a little faster. I already got a reply on not having adjustable parameters and have sent them another file they asked for. I have worked with Mike Litsch (sp?) and he's been great.

      Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.
