2014+ Engine & Transmission Tuning

[nando87]

I'm 40' in the air on an oil rig right now trying to troubleshoot some automation issues, so bear with me, I'm thinking you were using HPtuners(I use both) so try this.

 

Mimick all my Engine/Torque Management settings in the reference tune I sent you, then adjust your Driver Demand "A" settings just like in that same tune.

 

Report back and let me know how it works.

I finally got around to messing with the Transmission tuning, previously we only made changes to the engine. As stated before, I was still getting a lazy throttle and the transmission was even more lazy.

 

Now that we have adjusted the tranny, we mimicked most of your changes, the truck pulls great! feels 100% better!!! Throttle response is right there and there is no delay for it to Down shift, seems very willing to put the power down.

 

We had originally made the same changes from your tune in the inertia table but the 1-2 shifts were way to hard, I was spinning my 33" mud tires in 2nd gear triggering T/C. We made some modifications there and a couple of other spots, the 1-2 shift will still "chirp" 2nd gear but is much more forgiving.

 

Overall I'm very happy with the results for a mild tune, drives like a completely new truck!

 

Thanks again for your help.

Great news... The trans and TM tuning are 80% of what makes a good tune on these trucks.

 

Feel free to email me any time if you need any help later on.

My dealer just claimed my stock truck was tuned, so is there a way to prove it wasn't? I have not tuned it to make sure it has a warranty. Starting to sound like I'm missing out on drivability for security they are going to lie me right out of anyways.

Anybody with a Diablo intune have a hesitation in the shift from 1-2? I have 87 tune installed and firm shifts. When it shifts from 1st to 2nd, there is a slight delay. Hard to explain. I will get a diablew tune at some point, but would like to fix this issue if it's possible before I have Lew get his hands on it.

I'm using the 91 tune with hard shift and tried paying attention today on my way home. Didn't notice any difference compared to the other gear shifts. When do you notice, part throttle, medium acceleration, or wide open hard acceleration?

Well I originally had the tune set on 87 and didn't modify any of the parameters. I noticed it at medium acceleration. If I was soft on it or hard it shifted fine. I did however fill up with 93 today and changed the tune to the high performance tune. I added +5 to shift pressure 1-2 and bumped up the shift rpm's by 100 and all seems to be good now. Shifts like butter. Very pleased now

Ah, medium, my least used acceleration. Haha. I'm either savin gas or wasting it. Glad to hear it's shifting better. So does adding to the shift pressure make it more like the hard shift vs the firm shift?

Well for my driving style, its very rare that I'm light on the throttle. I may be wrong, but from what I've experienced adding shift pressure helps it shift into gear a little firmer. It doesn't feel hard or unreasonable at all. I think for some reason, the parameters on my device, even with the settings set to firm shift, were a little soft for 1-2 shift. Adding shift pressure and increasing RPM's per gear seem to help tremendously.

 

Not that this matters, but I haven't noticed any increase in MPG with the tune yet. Actually pretty much the opposite. It seems that ever since I installed my tune, I cant keep my foot off the floor lol. I'm sure if I give it some time my foot will lighten up. I love driving my truck again.

This is why I decided to go with a custom tune vs just a tuner. I read the same issue Kerrslight is having a dozen times over on the engine tuning thread, enough to convince me the Diablo tuners are not as "plug and play" as they advertise. Hope Lew is able to clean up your tune and get you fixed up.

I know blackbear is hands down probably the better way to go. I had a guy here in Houston do an in person tune on my last truck and that was equivalent to blackbear and it was phenomenal. My reasoning for going Diablo this time around is I like the ease of changing back to stock or changing my parameters. I knew going into it, it wouldn't be as good as an all out custom tune, but due to the price point it just made sense for me at the time. All is well now as far as shifts go, but I'm sure I will go the Diablew route at some point. I've heard great things from what he does so I'm sure if the canned tune doesn't work out for me, a custom Diablew will straighten things out for me.

Well I Data (Flogged) my truck today but I found It a little difficult to transfer my info to my laptop, Hope I did it right.

Me? yes AutoCal, I sent it in lastnight. I guess I did I haven't done this before so I might need some lead on the process.
