I don't think you want you shit too firm. Could lead to regularity problems.

go to diablewtune and get a custom one, it blows away anything stock on that device. i thought my intune was cool until i got a custom tune, then i realized i wasted time by not getting a custom tune and advise everyone in any vehicle to get a custom tune.

 

id say the intune gave me a 40% driveability increase and about the same in fun factor. with the custom tune i'd give it a 110% increase. its like driving a corvette in my 6.2

I was planning on getting a custome tune done. Want to try it with the stock canned tune though.

I also run the diablo tune with firm shift but set shift pressures at -1 thru all gears. I found it shifted a little too firm for my liking and is perfect at -1. I plan on doing some logs once it warms up a bit to hit Lew up for the custom tune. Cant wait.

Have any of you had any luck with towing with the tune? I don't want to go faster I want to wake up the motor and get better shifts while towing. Stock is very disappointing!

I tow my 5500# TT with my 14 6.2L 3.73. I use the diablo tune with stock tranny settings. I have used the firm shift tune which I liked for the most part. Works well in low gears and holds gears longer, not so quick to shift. What I did not like was the shifts were a little to firm for me and the truck had a tendency to want to stay in 5th more often on the highway. I'm ok with 5th but when your pulling a refrigerator on wheels I like to get every MPG I can while towing. The 3.73 will allow 6th on flats way more often then my 11 5.3L 3.42 did. I plan to get a lew tune this spring.

How do you get it on 93 tune? I've messed with it a bit tonight and cut out the V4 and put it on the firm shift. Seems to have more pep now and my aFe exhaust sounds way better. Does have a bit of back pressure now. Any way to change that? What else can I change to make it better?

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Thanks for that, yes just because I could I measured what came out just to give me some guidance although I already knew to expect it to take at least 9.5 to just throwing in the whole 10 quarts off the shot and doing a one and done heat cycle to drop out the excess to get to the proper level. I don't recall exactly now what I measured that came out but was less than I put back in, I knew I spilled some on the garage floor but the main part was that I was thrilled in the discovery I did not have to touch my exhaust to flex it down. The gasket manipulating is a pain of course to create that clearance to take the pan out and put back in but its all very doable if one is careful and not forcing the gasket to flex too much. From the quote I got at a transmission shop of 900.00 here in Canada ( never asked at the dealer what they charge ) I saved 700.00 doing it myself after paying for the supplies so that to me paid very good wages !, and I knew what fluid was put in and that I had changed the filter and that the level is correct without any doubts.

      I found a setup that lets me open the cover partway with racks installed, using side-rail-mounted systems for easy access.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Typically its said and I agree so far that the engine oil drain plug oring is not required to be changed out unless you see some damage happening to the oring as apparently the oring lasts well. The dealer I have been getting a few parts from never even stocked the oring but instead stocked the whole drain plug that comes with a new oring which for the dealer is easier because they just throw in a new drain plug if there was any question about damage on it as well and charge the customer accordingly but again only if it is needed.    Also a hint about the drain plug oring to help it last vs a risk of causing damage to it, after its been removed and wiped off or washed off ( that is a whole other topic about some solvents damaging orings because some solvent types do ) to make sure to relube the oring with a bit of new oil so that it won't "grip" on the sealing surface of the pan and needlessly stress out the oring. Its no different than putting some oil on the sealing ring of the engine oil filter. So I just grabbed a new drain plug to have on hand although more recently bought just the oring as well but as its special it costs half the price of the drain plug ... !   Since you mentioned the hate to be empty handed theme, I am not sure what you have in the way of filter removal tools as I like using the exact sized for the filter steel 1" wide band with side to side swivel handle filter removal tool, and it can be used to snug up the filter without risk of damaging a filter as well ( its probably a lisle brand I have ). The drain plug hex size is 15mm and I always like using a 6 point socket if I have a choice and with this truck I've been using just a 3/8 ratchet that has a fairly long handle. Do you have a funnel that will work to pour oil in as that is definitely the short coming bastard part about the design with that fill port on the valve cover on such an angle that no normal funnel will even work. There are adapters and things on the market that will set into or screw into that fill port, I didn't want to deal with US shipping as that is all I was seeing at the time so caved and bought a Lisle brand multi vehicle fit adapter funnel kit and it really works well but there are much less expensive adapters out there that work in conjunction with an off the shelf funnel that would do the job also. Now that I have it, I like how it works and works so slick with the shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers I have now switched over to. Whatever you do, have a funnel system of some sort as you will be swearing if you dropped the oil and then realize you have nothing to properly pour new oil in without spilling it all over the engine !.     Other comments, quite a bit of oil flows out down the filter when its cracked loose due to the housing above the filter so let it dribble down the filter until it slacks off flow and then remove the filter to create less possible mess. It seems these engines can sit for quite a while and drip and if you have time let it sit there and drip out of the engine as much as it wants. Also a good time to grease the 9 zerks on the front end, that's my typical practice anyway to grease the suspension and steering each time I change the oil. And remember to reset the oil change minder ( not something I am used to doing with older vehicles and equipment ).
