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 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.

I will have experience with Lew's tune soon. I'll be sure to report out once it's dialed in.

It was close to 14.0 AFR. I don't have a permanent install but I will. Just working to much.

ThAts really lean for WOT, it should be around 12.8-13.0ish

Oh I know didn't get to spend much time for the tune. Once I get more time off and can use the dyno again and get a good tune dial in. Let you know where it works best for my motor. My buddy had limited time for the dyno. So kinda cram it in. I didn't put much timing on it either. Only 3°. I still have a lot to work with to get it right. Once I do I get the dyno results posted. Its on me right now since I'm working a lot. You will probably get yours done before me.

Put the wideband in permanently now. Got it down 13.2. Just finished it. No dyno though. Just driving it on the street. Adjusted timing again. Running good now. Still needs more tweaking. My buddy help me the first time and I didn't see the AFR until I texted him. Oh well.

I'm looking to tune my 14 to primarliy reduce the torque manangment which is driving me nuts. At $307 through Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/DiabloSport-I1000-inTune-Vehicle-Programmer/dp/B0064IU5FW) this might be the most economical method.

 

Just a heads up for everyone... if you purchase the intune for any less than $389, Diablo will not warranty it. I talked to Chris at Diablo and the companies that are selling them cheaper are not being sold to anymore because they are not following diablo's selling guidelines. He said if something happened to it, they will ask for your receipt to verify you paid the correct amount, and if you didn't... you are SOL.

LOL... That is about as big of bullshit as I have heard in a long time. So.... what I get from this is if you are not aware of their dealer pricing practices and search for the best deal out there (which 99% of people do) then you "could" be hung out to dry because you (the end user) tried to save a couple dollars. The issue that Diablo is having with their dealers should not be taken out on the end user, even if it is just an empty threat. The fact that Diablo even posted that on their Website is somewhat disturbing to me.

 

After stewing on this for a few minutes, I think this warrants its own thread.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
