I don't know if there is a best, it all depends on what you're after and what your budget is.

 

There are a ton of threads on tuning options and handheld options, search around and do so reading and you'll come to a conclusion you're happy with.

Diablosport intune is the best as far as I have gathered. I'm just waiting to find a good deal on one.

Check out autoanything.com. They have frequent sales so I got mine for like $50 off. So around $320 and free overnight shipping. I ordered it late Thursday night, around 6PM, and it beat me home the next day when I arrived at Noon!

I've done a lot of research and have found that a Diablo inTune with a custom tune by Diablew has proven benefits.

Checkout the Diablew website at http://www.diablewtune.com

 

'Lew' or Lewis Eaton, has amazing customer service. I just ordered a package deal Diablo inTune with a personalized custom tune from him. The handheld inTune will arrive Wednesday. I'll hook up to my PC to get all the required updates loaded, then connect to my 2014 Sierra to get a log. Will send that to him by email, and he'll use it to build my personalized custom tune to load.

 

I'll post more in a week or so once I get this set up. I'll try to remember to take pics and notes as I proceed along so I can post a 'how to' & the results. I will recommend going to his website and reading it. Great info.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!

      Exhaust Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
