Well I’ve been waiting for 10+ days for my revised tune.... be nice to get that soon.

Since our update service is in such high demand, and with the tuners workload, thats about how long it is taking for tune updates, about 10 to 12 business days. If you want to PM me your name, I can check and see where you are at on the to do list.

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

We will be happy to help. Let us know if you have any questions. 

Definitely will, I sent you guys an email last week before I ordered at the direction of whoever answers your Facebook. Have some questions about if the tune can help at all with this godforsaken downshift.

Im sure this question has been asked, but has anyone noticed any shortened lift expectancy with their trucks tuned? As in engine or trans expectancy? I would think everything should be happier since the truck isnt lugging around anymore.

 

Im usually around 2k rpm in any given 3-5th gear on the street  and obviously around 1900 on the freeway with the 6speed.

 

 

Also, side question, has anyone noticed any higher trans temp after getting tuned? Whats a normal temp range after the truck is warmed up? I am seeing about 185-190....

Tuning doesn’t have anything to do with life expectancy. I can list many vehicles that gone many miles tuned even super charged or turbo. It’s how it’s treated.

We would be happy to help with tuning. We would tune your vehicle via our AutoCal only, it will allow us to see your vehicle data, and provide your custom tune files via email. With the 2017 and newer 8 speed vehicles it is engine only tuning, not the transmission. You can call 877-809-4070 if you have any other questions, or here is a link to the AutoCal on our website http://store.blackbearperformance.com/EFILive-AutoCal-Tuning-System_p_8.html

Fear Not!       I've been doing the 2017s A8s remotely with Efi Live for some time now as well as the Corvettes.

 

I have done a few 2018 Trucks locally, but I'm thinking I need about 2 weeks to be sure I can do it remotely with our AutoCal.

 

Some things have changed recently regarding how I prepare them and I've had to change my in-house setup around to

 

accommodate those changes. If anyone is local to me it might speed up the testing.

My 2017 8 speed will be tuned next week. Pays to know the only guy in Canada who’s a beta tester for efi live.

Post up your results when it's done. Hope it's not another swing and a miss situation with these T87A units.

And Justin at BlackBear, if you see this post, any new news about EFI Live being able to tune the T87A?

The results from this tune will be 18 whp peak, 32 whp mid range, 45 wtq peak. 

Intakes also are a waste of money and provide no gains while no air box provides no gains aswell. Headers and cat deletes also provide a loss in torque. This is why the only mod I did was a kn panel filter. The stock air box flows 700 hp on duramax before needing modification.

??? You know the results before the tune is even done ???

And to be clear, you're claiming that your friend is going to tune your T87A using an Auto Cal (EFI Live) WITHOUT unlocking the TCM? And WITHOUT swapping the 2017 TCM with an earlier 2014-2016 TCM?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.
