They didn't ask me anything about the oil changes. They just took her in and one of the guys there had the audacity to tell me that all he knew was it sounded really bad when they tried to fire her up.

 

Did you get back on the road?

Oh yeah a while ago, didn't you ask me in another thread? Might've been someone else don't remember. The process was smooth and quicker than I thought, just had to stay on them with the phone calls here and there so they didn't slack off.

Feels a little slow compared to before, I had a tune on it though so that might be it. Other than that so far so good.

Did they even inquire about the tune? Sounds like u had no headache with trying to get it warranted even though it was tuned or did they just not see the tune?

This information is more important that the water in oil as far as I'm concerned. I know dealers can see if tuned for a fact. Im just curios if they even looked... Or if it has the Diablo that is suppose to be hidden.

Sorry for the late reply, I had it tuned by a friend that used wait4meperformance tuning. It's custom tuning, although I'm not sure what quality they are compared to someone like blackbear. Before I brought the truck in I had the tune removed and they checked it and said it was fine. I haven't put the tune back on though just to be on the safe side. For a custom tune I wasn't thrilled with it just because I wasnt 100% sure what I was getting. I'm gonna hold off on tuning for a while til I get some blackbear tuning & to make sure the truck runs fine obviously.

Interesting.... They have been around a while but you must live somewhere close to them to get a custom tune because I think they primarily do mail order stuff.

What puzzles me even more about this is that I'm almost positive that they use EFI Live. Somebody else might chime in...

My buddy tunes a lot of trucks around here. Mostly diesels, Duramax's, Powerstrokes & Cummins. But he said he could get a tune for mine, he uses his Autocal. When I asked him who the tune was coming from he said it was from the guys at Wait4MePerformance. I sent them my stock file, they adjusted it and sent it back to him. He installed it onto my truck and well the rest was history.

That verifies me thinking that they use EFI Live. Thanks for update.

    • Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift.

Trailer Tire Pressure sensors may not be learned in the Trailer app. Not being able to return to the home screen while in the Camera app. After an ignition cycle, the radio might go to a black screen or stop working if using Sirius XM.

Projection Wireless CarPlay cannot be connected after unpairing another wireless Android Auto device.

After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.
    • Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated. 
    • We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person. 
    • We had a pretty big cars and coffee in Indy this past weekend.  Pretty much anything and everything was there.  
    • Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
