Thanks i already did this mornin. However i know people get busy and i thougjt i could get an answer faster on here. He sent me the e92 file i jus dont know how to put it on the autocal

You do it in the scan and tune software under the BBX tab if I remember correctly. Open the file there then write it to the autocal.

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 just finished reading all 21 pages...very informative. I see that most tunes are to the 5.3, a few to 6.2's. I have the 6.2 & drive at 3000-8000 ft.

 

Questions:

1. I assume a tune for higher altitude will differ slightly from a sea level tune-because you have less HP.

2. I'm the guy TDT describes as "not wanting to get involved" maybe because I've never done it before. So Diablo tuner and Lou or BlackBear? Or buy the tuner and see how the stock tune works? Or do Lou and BlackBear use the HP or EFI?

3. Anyone out West tune a 6.2 and who did you use?

4. Do you plug in to the OBD port and flash the ECU, then remove or does the tuner stay connected?

 

I want to tune both engine and transmission, just don't want to get on the wrong track.

I sent an email to Diablo asking about how they claim to not void the warranty and got a very short answer back..

 

Our tunes do not change any of the CVN's and there is no trace of the tune, whether installed or set back to factory.

Anyone have anything more on this since everything I've been reading in this thread and others seem to indicate otherwise...

I don't claim otherwise, I just haven't heard anything that confirms this. My tunes do change the CVN's and probably anybody else will say the same thing. That is a HUGE selling point if their claims are true though... HUGE!

Do Not Get A Canned Tune! Justin and Lew can fix you up with minimal involvement from you, what little there is will be worth it. Or find a good local tuner and support them... I do stress GOOD though. Too many "tuners" around here that will not give you satisfactory results.

I got basically the same response back from Lew also, saying it's because they have a GM Programming Engineer on their staff... It's got me leaning more towards that way, just wish we had a way to confirm that.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this but I am looking for a tuner for my 2014 Silverado z71, which seems to not only get crappy mileage, but is quite slow in doing so. Can anyone suggest a good tuner? Also, i have not yet done an air filter, nor exhaust so suggestions are really welcome. Thanks for the help

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for but east coast supercharging ( eastcoastsupercharging.com ) does a lot of bad ass cars along with race proven motorsport which I believe have their own website as well. If you are mostly stock you may be just as happy with Black Bear who is a sponser on this forum.

Anyone with 6.2L sharing files for their tunes? I really don't want to do anything to crazy but I do have HP Tuners with the latest software. I remember with my Trailblazer SS I uploaded my tune on HP Tuners site to share.

Cold air kit is on it now and I'm changing the muffler. Just want better driveability, throttle response and maybe some better upshifts.

PM me your email, I'll send you a little write up on trans tuning that will get you headed in the right direction. Jon A. Has been playing with his as well and may have some more 6.2 pointers. Jon seems pretty sharp.

Having less power than it could, stupid. Lazy throttle is annoying. Bad shifts are driving me nuts. Getting large clunks at times. Ironic how the setup for smooth shifts make it rough when taking off slow and it shifts to second.

 

My plan has been from the beginning to leave it alone as long as I can stand. Being this is a new motor it could have something pop up. On the other hand this is my first chance to learn this system and I'd love to expand my experience.

 

I need to get my 418 built an into my Camaro fast. This thread is making me want to tune, so maybe tuning on it instead will stop the twitching.

 

I would also think the factory would be able and ready to fix the speedometer readings from different tires sizes these days. What happens if someone with 18's goes and orders factory 22's, are they on their own?

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.
