If you guys have your heart set on Diablo, I would certainly talk to 06MonteSS (Lew) before pulling the trigger on anything. He is a Diablo dealer who can give you a custom tune to your liking built into the Intune and probably even give you a good deal on it to boot.

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'm talking with Lew now. I'm still undecided, but leaning heavy toward using him. I've contemplated other options, but keep going back to Lew's Custom tune.

 

IC you tuned yours yourself, I'm looking into that as well. Might be biting off more than I can Chew. I tune my Harley's myself using a DynoJet PV tuner, wasn't hard once I understood all the variables. Just not sure I have the patience for the Silvy.

I have been tuning cars since 2000, my first being a 1996 impala SS that went 10.90's fully dressed out at 4400lbs. If I haven't been tuning this long, I would have needed a school to properly tune this E92 controller. There are several people willing to help you though if you just want to play around with it, and you nailed it on the head, you have to have patience.

I heard mixed rumors about this intune. I just need to know if it will actually work to change the speedometer after I put bigger tires on the truck. Also I want to know if it will actually give better mpg. I don't want to be wasting $400 and then it not work.

I installed my F.A.S.T wideband last night and after doing some logging it looks like the factory calibrations are pretty close for a bone stock truck, at least it is for mine. If I can't make improvements on the VVT then I doubt there will be a lot of gains on tune alone, I'm thinking 15-20 HP Maybe. It's just an educated guess but I think a full exhaust system with a nice set of tuned long tubes will wake these things up, especially the 6.2. Now if I can only find a dealer willing to send me that system for test... Cough Cough... HInt Hint!

I will put gears in this summer, if I go NA I will go 4.10's if I put a compressor on it I will go 3.42's. All depends on what aftermarket comes out with this summer. You are right though, gears would make this pig fun

Here are a few pics of the wideband ran into the truck. I pushed the sensor wire/plug through a grommet just over the passenger kick panel that runs out the right side. It was kind of tight but nothing a coat hanger, electrical tape and Vaseline couldn't fix. Hell.. I remember when Vaseline use to fix some other issues, lol.

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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
