Installed mine yesterday after an update ( IF YOU HAVE A MAC YOUR LIFE WILL SUCK!) and i only installed the 87 tune w/ firm shifts and so far i will say i noticed a difference quite a bit. i will be bumping up the shifts though because I dont think theyre hard enough. it doesnt just lump into gear anymore but i would like to feel the be firmer. I only installed the 87 tune because I had a full tank of 87. once thats gone it will be getting the 91 tune and hard shifts! I will keep you updated if anyone else would like to know.

 

side note: took it to my buddy whos a tech at a GM dealership and i will tell you that they cannot see that its been tuned. we looked at some snap shots before and after tuning it and it does NOT show up that the computer was reflashed even.

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?

93 tune is Diablo tune on device. Not sure about your exhaust as i have stock. Send a log to Lew im sure he can make it better.

I'm running the newest Diablo tune which includes the tuning for E85 and throttle boost at 7. Very pleased with the performance. I also have the hard shift installed which I think feels fine, not too harsh at all. What are you guys doing with the torque management setting? I've tried both on and off. Seems like I can get much more wheel spin with it off. Not that I'm gonna be hammering on my truck all the time but would it still be safer for the drive train long term to keep it on? I've only owned the truck for a few months so have not towed with these settings yet. That won't be til spring or summer when I get the boat out.

Keep us posted on what you figure out feels best for the shift firmness. I've tried both the firm and hard presets and didn't notice a lot of difference between the two and like you I seem to think they are not firm enough. I've not done much with manually adjusting the shift pressure for each gear shift yet.

 

I had a an electronic shift kit installed in a previous truck and if I set that at it's hard setting it was like snap your neck hard. I'm not looking for that much though.

 

Glad to hear confirmation that the dealership could not see it had been flashed.

im hoping to firm them up a bit more, dont want neck snapping but i want to feel it. hate that slush into gear feel.. I do LOVE the feel of the 91 tune as well. flashed that one in on friday and drove it both friday and saturday. if that tune is so good i can only imagine what a diablew tune can do!

I just started messing with mine a couple days ago. Had a tank of 87 so I installed 87 octane tune and upped shift firmness. It drives much better, goes when I want it to go with out the hesitation of the trans having a committee meeting on what to do. I took it on a 500 mile trip this weekend. When I got home last night decided to take the torqe management out and didn't notice a diff. Not too happy about that. Am gonna fill up with 93 in the next day or so and install the 93 octane tune. Hopefully that will make a noticeable power diff. Still concerned about lack of shift firmness though.

I so want a Diablo, but I'm still nervous about voiding 100k miles worth of warranty.

All you have to do is uninstall the tune before you go to the dealer , they don't know any difference

I uninstalled mine all the time before going to the dealer no big deal

So everyone is worried about a tuner voiding their warranty on their $40k+ trucks including myself, but my question is has anyone ever had anything fail on their vehicle and not been able to cover it under warranty because of a tuner? I've seen a few people that know some people that know a guys neighbors mothers ex-husband got screwed but does anyone have any first hand experience? I'm paranoid about putting one on my truck just for the fat chance that something were to happen. But i've had tuners on previous vehicles and never had an issue as well as many friends using them also.

im going to pull my tunes before i go have my bcm flash done. i have had oil changes done and no issues. i pull my tunes anytime i go to the dealer. i really couldn't imagine gm denying a claim, in this day and age with social media like it is. especially something so hard to prove as a custom tune.

 

if you had something crazy like a 6" lift or super charger i could understand that, but not a simple handheld tuner you can buy at an auto parts store.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!

      Grommets with the right cement should be perfectly fine.
