2014+ Engine & Transmission Tuning

[robvas]

Try to post on their forum, they seem to reply a little faster. I already got a reply on not having adjustable parameters and have sent them another file they asked for. I have worked with Mike Litsch (sp?) and he's been great.

 

Same here. Mike just gave me a new tune that I will install shortly

Installed the new tune Mike sent me and works perfectly.

Mine works now. I installed the ob tune as I initially had the oa tune. I actually feel a power difference as well this time which has me wondering if the tune even worked before. Had her up to 103 on the freeway last night to test if the speed limiter was still there. Now patiently awaiting TCM support...

Jenna,

I am going to install a flex fuel sensor on my 2015 6.2. Can you enable your tunes to maximize for E85?

[Jennabear]

Yes, that shouldn't be an issue.

Just installed my Black Bear tune today... 100% worth the money. truck feels like and performs like it should have out the door.

 

Throttle response is excellent, shifts are crisp and firm, definitely a increase in power... though i was running 87 oct on stock tune, now im running 91 oct w/ 91 tune...

 

I was a little apprehensive about doing everything by email... i can understand why they do this though, i imagine they would not be getting any work done with all the phone calls. They responded back at end of next day with my email questions, only took 2 days to get the tune in once i submitted the files.

 

 

Thanks Again.

To ROBVAS and WURGS, is this your first tune or was is this an updated tune? I am getting ready to bite the bullet so to speak and I am really hoping for better transmission response… I ask because ROBVAS stated “new tune”…

[robvas]

This is the second tune DiabloSport provided me. The tuner didn't recognize my truck (brand new 2015) out of the box, so I sent them the unknown_pcm file and they sent me a tune that worked, but I couldn't adjust anything like AFM or tire size etc.

 

Then they sent me a second tune and everything acts like it should.

Copy Robvas. I am actually looking at a BlackBear tune for mine. Sorry, my bad.

Thank you for the review Jason! Happy to hear you are enjoying your tune.

 

You are absolutely correct, the guys do everything through email for a few reasons:

-they receive hundreds of emails a day, on top of building tunes, shipping items, and inperson tunes, phone calls would put them very behind

-phone calls does not leave any documentation: they are able to go back through emails to see what a customer requested, or other discussions pertinent to the process

-they can't see what is going on through the phone: if a customer has major issues with the AutoCal process, they will remote into the computer to assess the situation. This is much quicker than trying to decipher what someone is seeing, through their explanations on the phone. More times than not, the customer has missed a step, and the guys can quickly diagnose when they log into their computer.

-phone calls rarely take 5 mins: most customers will want to continue the conversation, once they have the guys ears, not realizing the backlog of customers in email. How is that fair to the guys who have been waiting for a response via email, that someone who calls, gets to go right to the front of the line?

[CalicoJack76]

yep.

 

Just something I am not used to... others might not be as well, just wanted to post up a good review of the process

The more you drive it the better it gets and the more you will like it. I also got an Air Rait MIT intake tube and filter and if definitely helped out low-mid range torque. So if you don't have an aftermarket intake I suggest you get one.

[No Tyme]

I installed an AirAid Tube but retained the original filter box on my 14 Crew. I did not want to get into K&N or an oiled filter because I seen what they can do to the throttle body on motors. So far not much of a difference and with my Borla muffler I don't hear much additional noise from under the hood.

I am a believer in letting any engine breath a bit better... works wonders on a V twin.

[Jennabear]

Your computer isn't telling your engine what to do with the extra air ;)

 

Sent from my fone.

Same here. Noticeable difference in power and actually just got 1.3 mpg better on my last tank driving the same routes as before. I will be curious to see if it was a fluke or if it will continue.
