I was worried, I though I was going to have to quit going to Wallmart.

LOL... That is funny right there... but I couldn't think of a better analogy than that.

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

A good friend had a diablew tune done and the low end throttle response and shifting points feel so much better. It doesn't even feel like the same truck. Going from the diablo canned tune 87 octane to the custom 87 octane was night and day difference.

I'm trying to figure out which one I want. I like the screen on the Bullydog while the Diablo Intune is almost the same price. Thoughts?

Most people on here po po hand held, but I have used Diablo and Hypertec myself. I use them mostly to raised shift points, gear change, RPM, top speed. and their tune. I like the idea I could easily go back to stock if I needed too. Diablo let you mess a little more if you dare and knew what you where doing. I never had a problem with warranty work because of a tune, it seems now thou that may be an issue. There are lots good threads on this I would read them you may decide to go a different direction.

I like the ability to return to stock if I need to. I'm leaning towards the diablo Intune but they got a bad review from someone with a 14 silverado on Amazon and that is throwing me off..

Good experience with diablew intune on a 2014 Silverado. Both engine and shift points. Canned tunein the intune was fair but custom by diablew was much better.

If you get a BlackBear tune with the AutoCal you can go back to stock at any point. Your ECM and TCM tune along with your stock tune are stored on the AutoCal.

Anyone running the Intune on a 2014 5.3?

If so, have tried the economy tune and notice if DOD is engaged longer on the hwy? MPG improve? I wish they had a tune for E85, since our maps are pretty aggresive for that fuel.

Ended up ordering the diablo. I liked how you can program the throttle response which is really slow on the stock tune. Should have it in a couple of days. Can't wait!

Custom custom custom!!!!! Let a tuner tune it while driving it!! Every truck is different!! Custom custom custom!!! Going back to stock will profit you nothing nowadays. You tune it your gonna get busted. Get a tune done for your truck only not one that will work in 50000 trucks as a flash program. Its worth the extra money and alotta times cheaper than a handheld. If custom isnt an option then .............im truly sorry!! Aint.no tune like your own personal tune!

I'm in Alaska and custom tunes are out of my reach. That is why I want the ability to put it back to stock for dealer visits, and the lifetime oil changes where the dealer might update the program without me knowing. I am hoping the diablo is worth the hype. My girlfriend has an Edge controller on her 2013 Silverado with the dashpod and it is slick and the truck has great throttle response. Hopefully the diablo has good results too

As of right now, I'm not a diablo fan but I heard Lew is a very capable tuner who can give you a custom tune remotely (talk to him about details). It would be a good tune for a basically stock truck / bolt ons. He works for Diablo and sends you a custom tune to put in you Diablo can.

He trolls this board as Monte06SS or 06MonteSs, something like that. He will make you a good deal if you buy the tuner and his custom tune as a package and they are sight supporting vendors which is second best to local support.

Just curious so no throwing rocks please, how much HP gains on a stock engine are we talking about from hand held and custom tune. I would buy them mainly for firmer shifts, higher shift points, gear changing, higher top speed. I couldn't imagine more than 20 HP in a stock engine.

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
