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 installed the diablo 91 octane tune, drove my 150+ miles and sent my data log to Diablolew (monte). Got my first street tune back and installed. First impression: Well worth the coin!! torque management, shift points are so much better than stock!

I've been searching, but haven't seen much talk about programmers on the 2014's....is this cause of warranty issues or what? I saw a few guys mention getting custom tunes, but I was actually just going to get the Hypertech speedometer calibrator for new larger tires, but for another $100 its almost a no brainer to get a programmer even though I'm not really looking to go changing anything crazy. Anybody out there have experience with any of these?

KUUG is right, it's a warranty killer. There is a user on here who's dealer gave him one of those hypertech speedo calibraters, I'm wondering if the dealer is able to get around the GM warranty issue, I really can't imagine them not being able to. I would call your dealers around you until you can find one that willing to put it in and stand behind warranty. It's worth a try.

Thanks. I was only searching in the 2014 section of the forum originally, but have found a lot more now. I guess I have to decide whether I'm going to tune mine or not now to potentially kill warranty.

I did a little scanning today (finally had dry roads so I could go WOT). I noticed at WOT my TPS % stays at 84%. Anybody else with the 6.2 notice this or is it just me? In the old days I'd start looking for a mechanical issue, but on these things....

You need to log ETC%...

 

GM views SAE TPS in raw voltage and when your TPS sensor is at WOT it's probably only at 84% of 5v which is learned by ECM as WOT.

Just log ETC% or other ETC PID's which will make it easier to relate to.

I purchased my SLT new with a lift and oversize rubber, they included the programmer which they used to reprogram the speedo. I signed a contract with the warranty.

That's good to hear...

My brother in law just purchased a new 4 door Jeep Wrangler and the dealer already used a Superchips programmer to recalibrate his speedo. I wonder if it really came down to it, if they would still honor the warranty or find some loophole or another way around it.

Is there a programmer out there that I can change the stabilatrack to stay off when I switch it off. Also I've been seeing some real bad shifts into second. Both up and down. Would a programmer fix this or is it just this transmission they put in these things?

I've learned so much from reading this thread and I will probably be getting a custom tune somewhere down the line. But with that being said, does anyone know the simplest way to remove the limiter or at least raise it? We have 140 on the dash, but can't go past 98. Sucks.

Diablo intune or diablo trinity?

I think they both pretty much of the same thing but I am not sure, any thoughts? The trinity does have a nice looking LCD screen and cost quite a few bucks more. So , what to do?

I've got the intune, I had no need for the trinity. I bought mine from Diablew, he does custom road tuning specific to your vehicle. So far I am pleased, there are others out there but I have no experience with them.

I've been working with Lew on a custom diablo tune, just thought I would share my experience.

 

First off Lew (diablew, montess) has been great thru this entire process. My truck runs so much better and it feels like I have an entirely different tranny. As many of you are aware, I got fuct on a muffler install, but have since removed the third cat, installed a Magnaflow 14" muffler, all with three inch piping. IMO, she sounds fing awesome and with Lew's street tune, runs amazing!

 

I still have some wide open throttle data sessions to record and I should be good to go.

 

I was on the fence on what to do, hp tuners, blackbear, trifecta, diablew, etc... I'm pleased with who I picked.

 

For those who are considering a tune, Lew comes with my highest recommendation.

 

In time I'd like to give HP tuners software a try, I just wasn't ready to dedicate the time.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      Some Assembly is Required

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      By revrnd · Posted

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well
