I assume that you must have increased the shift rpms because the normal tune for the transmission at least, does not have any shift going above 5600 rpm. The 4 to 5 shift and the 5 to 6 shift are both set at 5200 rpm. That's default for the firm and hard shift tune in the TCM.

The hyperteck tune lets you raise the RPMs and shift points by 500, turn off the AFM and turn off the TM if you wish. There are more adjustments as well, and that just a hand held tune. I just turned off the AFM, raised shift points, and top speed. Their engine tune only gave you 7 HP on 93 grade gas, I run E85 95 percent of the time anyway so left it at stock tune. My truck runs great.

Yep, can do the same in Diablo sport. I was really close to going with the same hypertech that you got. Went Diablo only due to the supposed ability to hid it from the dealer (tested by jaws52).

I got my diablo intune the other day and was frustrated when it couldn't read my PCM, but after emailing support they were able to fix that. However, I installed the tune and it doesn't give me any adjustable parameters at all. After it installs the ECM tune the Intune just reboots. I emailed Diablo and they said thats normal. I'm kind of pissed about that as the main reason I bought it was for the throttle booster and AFM disable.

 

Anyone else with a 6.2 able to adjust parameters other then just load a tune?

 

BTW drove the truck and it felt exactly the same after the tune..

When I installed the 93 tune and it rebooted I went into tuning and adjustable perameters and it gave me the options you are looking for. I raised the throttle response by 10% if I remember and turned off AFM. When I put it back to stock to bring it to the dealer I noticed a big difference, really realized how much just a canned tune helps these trucks. After I had the latest updates done at the dealer it doesn't recognize my truck anymore. I emailed them my pcm file copy and am now waiting for a response.

Wonder why that is? Seems if you set it back to stock, then dealer updates, when you go through the process again, I would have thought it would be as if you were installing for the first time. Apparently not.

That was my issue initially. My truck had the update done already. I've tried again and it still won't let me adjust any parameters, just install the "Diablo Tune." Not happy about it.

I bought mine before the claim was made by Diablo, I've used them before on my trailblazer ss and was pleased with them.

Posted over on Diablosprt forums too. Mike just sent an update to try. I'm not sure if its vehicle specific or not but will post an update when i download it tonite.

I'm sure this has been covered before but I'm lazy to read through all 42 pages lol!!

 

Question for anyone that has put a wideband on their stock 5.3, what AFR are you getting stock?

 

I was looking on AFE's website at their provided dyno graph and it's showing a mid-high 14 AFR in stock form, I thought that seemed really lean for stock

I'm not exactly sure what you are taking about in regards to wideband lol but maybe this screenshot will help. I'm Diablo tuned so maybe a little different stock but AFR always seems to read 9.76:1 at idle or any other rpm/speed.

A wide band shows you the exact AFR, its a sensor that plugs into your exhaust.

 

Not sure how much I trust that reading of 9.76, seems crazy rich!

Any luck? Diablosport has left me just waiting..

Stoich is 14.7 and your target value, i.e. ideal fuel/air ratio. How do you get that it's really lean?

 

I can't imagine why anyone would put a wideband on a totally stock truck. Adding a wideband allows for precise custom tuning and there's little point in that without mods.

I'm not talking about stoich, I'm talking wot afr.. And anyone who is tuning I'm sure took a baseline afr reading, that's what I'm asking for. I know what the truck needs to run but curious to know what it's running stock.

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
