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

Contacting Diablo is where I would start.

Spent more than 2 hours on the phone (most of which on hold), only to have the last guy say he sent all the data to engineers and he had no answer for me. He even went so far as to tell me to send it back for my money back.

 

What I really want is a better tune for my truck not the money back so I might need to go somewhere else to get it. Any suggestions for another tuner?? And btw thanks a ton for taking the time to answer all my questions.

I can fully understand your angst. Have you tried their forum? As far as taking the time to answer all your questions, not sure if that was meant to be a smart @ss comment. If it was it certainly wasn't warranted.

I was merely trying to steer you in the right direction.

 

As far as other tuners, I'm about to pull the plug on my diablo ( another issue) and go with HP tuners. There is a much larger learning curve, but there are a couple of forum members within this forum with vast knowledge and are willing to help.

 

Best of luck to you,

 

Mike

You could not be more off base. I was actually thanking you not trying to be sarcastic. I am not sure how a thank you can cone off any other way but sorry you misread it. I realize that everyone has other things going on in their lives and appreciate any help I get.

You will get a hell of a lot better drivability tuning on a load bearing Dyno (Eddie current) and I can get a much more thorough tune in a fraction of the time. I would rather tune on the street than on a typical freewheel Dyno like the Dynojets most people use. I have had 2 mustang Dyno's and my next one will be mustang as well.

Agree. I Just Got Done Tuning Off A Dyno Dynamics Last Monday. Not My Truck Though. Dynojets Are Overrated. Mustangs Are Good. Lots Of Guys Use Them Around Here. Only One Dynojet Where I Live.

Steve - let me just say it's damn refreshing to see someone with so much knowledge and positive feedback/advice on a forum. You freakin dominate! I just read through the 23 pages on this sucker and I am impressed, granted my custom tuning skills is pretty much non-existent but I am no dunce and understand everything :)

 

I will be buying the HP Tuners setup for sure, my 6.2 Denali needs a kick in the pants for, especially in the TCM. I can't believe GM let these pigs off the lot, this tranny setup is a complete joke, right along with the ridiculous throttle response. Screw the voided warranty, I didn't buy a 54k truck to replace u-joints every other oil change because of the horrid shift changes and slamming gear changes... Sorry to the OP for the rant/vent session, I had a less than good day almost rear-ending someone on two separate occasions during the drive into work this morning because of the throttle lag and mass tranny confusion..

 

Would you be willing to share the tune you have for the 6.2's you did? I would need a solid starting point to tackle this monster. Thanks in advance!

Im not a cheer leader for any truck or car co., but now when we come to expect 200k plus miles out of these trucks and performance cars we have to expect some safe guards. I can remember the days we would hope to get 60k out of a ford C6 or a Chevy turbo 400 if we were pulling a camper or what ever. Performance engines 60k, were toast. So today we are getting the power we want all we have to do is do a tune or not, Ill take it.

I'm in talks with Blackbear to have them tune my 2014. They tuned two of my previous vehicles and I loved the power/performance I got from them....

 

Only thing that worries me is the trace left on the PCM/ECM after tuning. If I encounter an issue down the road....I don't wanna be boned.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By bwiese · Posted

      My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill

      2026 Silv. 1500 WT reg cab: how many speakers do I have? Is amp module separate?

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...
