I was thinking of getting a Hypertech tune on my truck. I currently have an aFe cold air intake and exhaust. I'd run E85 (going to start once my tank is empty) with it.

 

Can anyone tell me their experiences with Hypertech? I've only had a tune on a car that I bought that way. How easy is it to use and reset?

 

Thanks in advance!!

I have been using them for about six months for the second time, works real well easy to use. I got it mainly to turn off the V4 and take some TM out of the transmission did that fine.

I have been reading what you have posted on the main tune thread. Thanks for the information.

 

Where did you purchase yours from?

 

Also, is there anyone else on here running this?

i bought a diablosport intune i1000 this weekend from someone on this forum.

 

initially i couldn't tell much difference with the stock 93 tune and firm shit tcm tune. i ordered a custom tune from diablew, and it blows the doors of ANY mod you can do for this price. I mean, it's like driving a brand new truck.

 

i'll never own another vehicle without a custom tune before i do any other modifications or along with other modifications. i went back to the stock tune just to see if i was crazy, and no, the canned tune is nothing compared to the custom.

 

oh and just to put it into perspective, i put 150 miles city driving saturday to break in the tune because thats what i drive daily. i had 12.5mgp average stock. for the initial 150 miles i had 17mpg average. now, i understand that is based on a lot of variables but i found i could accelerate quicker with less pedal and hold speed easier without having to adjust the pedal a lot, if that makes sense.

 

this is my third edit now. this thing has no dead spots, and will rip the tires off up to about 40mph. it shifts around 5800-6k rpm, and just blows my mind. i feel like i'm driving a vette compared to my stock truck. fyi i have the 6.2l and HATED it, until this weekend.

Ouch! How much time do you spend driving back and forth to work each day? I feel for you man. I would have to look elsewhere for work I am afraid.

Our Max Energy is very easy to use and easy to take back to stock before going back to the dealer for service work.

I use it, I was amazed on the TM and how it worked on the transmission when it seemed others where having problems in that area. I got it mainly to turn off the V4 and raise the max speed up a little for passing on Texas roads. The sift points and firmness was a plus. Made my truck come to life.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
