Why does it have to be local? Some tuners travel or are amazing at what they do with email tuning

I'm sure every local business owner would love to hear that, lol.

 

There isn't many face to face transactions any more and most of those individuals are under 30. There are still many old school individuals out there that are able to carry on a conversation WHILE making eye contact and actually prefer that method of doing business and like me have never used Facebook, lol.

 

This is actually a good idea and if this is done I think feedback for each would be nice.

And it doesn't HAVE to be local because there are some competent mail order tuners out there that will probably give you better results than many so called local tuners.

Absolutely, reviews of each one would be awesome and no it doesn't have to be local. It can be just email tuners as well that's absolutely fine. I'm just looking for information to be centralized in one place so people can find these places either had an actual shop or on the Internet.

Nelson Performance (Allen Nelson/farmtruc on ls1 or SilveradoSS forums). Austin Tx

 

Allen really knows GM LS based motors.. He tuned my Silverado SS and 2 other trucks Ive had, his tunes are great, and he'll tune for whatever octane you want to run, mileage, or straight power. It's obviously better for him to tune real world driving but he does really good job with mail ins or if you have a tuner program, he'll send u the tune and u can import it into ur truck. He and I had fun with KenneBell corp. they tuned my SS originally for their charger and my other acc's. And it was just blah, so Allen said he could fix it, I drove from GA to Tx and within :30 mins he had the truck purring, within a hour after real world driving he had it snorting! It had pulled 438 hp on Knowledge Performance dyno before Nelson tuned it, afterwards it was 506hp at the wheels, and ran smooth on 93octane, before it shuddered, stumbled and was garbage. KB had truck for 2 weeks, he had it for 2hrs.

PCM of NC is a great place based on reviews from forum members that have had their trucks tuned there. They are about 30-40 mins north of Charlotte. If you are in the Tri-Cities or east TN it's wouldn't be a bad drive. Thats where I will be driving to when I pull the trigger on a tune.

Yes and I recommend him as well. He's a better choice than Performance Plus.

      AFM Experience

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
