Well I’ve been waiting for 10+ days for my revised tune.... be nice to get that soon.

Since our update service is in such high demand, and with the tuners workload, thats about how long it is taking for tune updates, about 10 to 12 business days. If you want to PM me your name, I can check and see where you are at on the to do list.

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

We will be happy to help. Let us know if you have any questions. 

Definitely will, I sent you guys an email last week before I ordered at the direction of whoever answers your Facebook. Have some questions about if the tune can help at all with this godforsaken downshift.

Im sure this question has been asked, but has anyone noticed any shortened lift expectancy with their trucks tuned? As in engine or trans expectancy? I would think everything should be happier since the truck isnt lugging around anymore.

 

Im usually around 2k rpm in any given 3-5th gear on the street  and obviously around 1900 on the freeway with the 6speed.

 

 

Also, side question, has anyone noticed any higher trans temp after getting tuned? Whats a normal temp range after the truck is warmed up? I am seeing about 185-190....

Tuning doesn’t have anything to do with life expectancy. I can list many vehicles that gone many miles tuned even super charged or turbo. It’s how it’s treated.

Appears this thread is slowly dying.  Looking for custom tune options for my 2018 Sierra 6.2L with 8-speed.

We would be happy to help with tuning. We would tune your vehicle via our AutoCal only, it will allow us to see your vehicle data, and provide your custom tune files via email. With the 2017 and newer 8 speed vehicles it is engine only tuning, not the transmission. You can call 877-809-4070 if you have any other questions, or here is a link to the AutoCal on our website http://store.blackbearperformance.com/EFILive-AutoCal-Tuning-System_p_8.html

Fear Not!       I've been doing the 2017s A8s remotely with Efi Live for some time now as well as the Corvettes.

 

I have done a few 2018 Trucks locally, but I'm thinking I need about 2 weeks to be sure I can do it remotely with our AutoCal.

 

Some things have changed recently regarding how I prepare them and I've had to change my in-house setup around to

 

accommodate those changes. If anyone is local to me it might speed up the testing.

My 2017 8 speed will be tuned next week. Pays to know the only guy in Canada who’s a beta tester for efi live.

Post up your results when it's done. Hope it's not another swing and a miss situation with these T87A units.

And Justin at BlackBear, if you see this post, any new news about EFI Live being able to tune the T87A?

The results from this tune will be 18 whp peak, 32 whp mid range, 45 wtq peak. 

Intakes also are a waste of money and provide no gains while no air box provides no gains aswell. Headers and cat deletes also provide a loss in torque. This is why the only mod I did was a kn panel filter. The stock air box flows 700 hp on duramax before needing modification.

??? You know the results before the tune is even done ???

And to be clear, you're claiming that your friend is going to tune your T87A using an Auto Cal (EFI Live) WITHOUT unlocking the TCM? And WITHOUT swapping the 2017 TCM with an earlier 2014-2016 TCM?

      I get the same results with pictures. Then I figure it out. Then I forget. Screw it.

      I guess I'm the only one on this forum who can't get effing pics to load here! Do you have to resize them to post, or am I just blocked from uploads?   I have the same luck with automotive electronics ... but this is the ONLY site on the net that I have this problem!   I'd post pics of what I'm working on ... but I CAN'T! 🤬       Just fabbed up the kickdown cable (had to extend the cable mount WAAAY out from the throttle shaft to get a full pull), and parts arrived for the fuel lines on the 940 carb conversion project. Should be able to drive this thing by the end of the day. If not for work, I'd have had this thing done SIX weeks ago.   Got the jetting sorted out last week. Had a real bad tip-in bog that I couldn't seem to correct. Friggin float height was over 11mm too HIGH! eBay purchase, so no wonder everything is screwed up right out of the box! I ended up with a larger dual-squirt accelerator pump jet anyway instead of the single. Also moved the 70 primary idle jet (4 sizes too big out of the box) to the secondary idle circuit, and installed a 57 in the primary. Runs great on the fuel bottle!    Still using the computer for ignition. Going to drive it first and see if I want to go through the project of installing an intermediate shaft with a distributor drive gear, so I can install a block-mounted distributor and run points, 100% computer free. I should do that anyway just from a simplicity / reliability / tunability standpoint. The electronics left me stranded last year a couple times! I can't tweak the timing to my liking right now because of the computer. Tried twisting the cam-driven distributor already ... and the damned thing just reverts back to where it was! That's infuriating. But if it runs well enough I might save that for next season.   Just driving it in and out of the shop to work on other projects, it feels 1,000% more responsive with the carburetor. Also fires MUCH faster when cranking. Can't wait to drive it and see if I got more than 114 ponies, lolol.

      Triumph makes me think of cars not bikes. Especially with model names like the TR7, that was a Triumph car model too. Peak TR for me was the TR250. You could retain the post-war roadster looks, with an optional surrey hard top, but with an inline 6 engine instead of the TR4's anemic 4-cylinder, but still have a 4 speed, optional overdrive.   I know almost nothing about Triumph bikes, except that they exist. Good looking bikes though.   I don't know if I could just have one vehicle. The Silverado does it all except for fitting anywhere. But it leaves a void in real driving enjoyment, unless driving an extremely large sofa is your thing.   What did I do to my 'other' (muslce car - which one!?) vehicle lately. I took my '23 SS for a drive. It's only got 1600 miles. I keep reminding myself I shouldn't be so precious about this car. It likes to be driven. Needs to be driven. Life is short and if I don't enjoy it, someone else will. The other half calls it "the garage ornament".

      A Clean 40" Light Bar Setup for the 2022+ Silverado 1500

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone, Thought we’d share our 40" SLIM Light Bar setup for the 2022+ Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for anyone looking at behind-the-grille lighting options.   The 40" bar sits behind the lower factory grille, so it stays pretty well hidden when it’s off. The mounting position is also adjustable, which helps with getting the bar positioned properly depending on the grille.   A few details on the setup:   40" SLIM LED light bar Fits 2022–2026 Silverado 1500 Spot + flood beam pattern White, amber, or white with amber DRL backglow Adjustable mounting position No cutting or drilling required Doesn't interfere with the active grille shutters Vehicle-specific mounting brackets       It’s a straightforward option for anyone who wants the coverage of a 40" bar but prefers to keep the front of the truck relatively stock-looking. Curious what the Silverado owners here prefer — hidden behind-the-grille lighting or an exposed bumper-mounted setup?

      Yes. Absolutely. That doesn't mean I don't like and enjoy a variety of machines. I went for a time with no other vehicle than a 1976 Triumph TR7-V Tiger. Loved that bike and rode it 365 in any and all weather. I did not feel deprived of anything.
