It's the 5.3L v8. So I just lifted my 2015 Silverado 1500 6" on 35" tires and as known the speedo is off which makes my shift points off. I want to get the speedo back on track which then would put the shift points back closer to normal. I have a cold air intake cat back exhaust right now and figure with everything im gunna have a hell of a time getting the warranty to pay for anything if something goes wrong in the power train. But the Hypertech speedo calibrator would only do the tire size and the warranty might be saved with this and make the shifting and speedo good again but I want the extra power of the edge cts 2. Which I see it does tire size and my warranty is gone wit this but I'm interested in does it change the speedo on the truck? Or just on the screen of the programmer is accurate? Also is there a setting on the cts2 that's basically stick shift points? Would it still shift into v4 at times? Just needing to decide and get the speedo and such back to normal before I head off on a little road trip next weekend. Thanks guys!!

I had the same problem a month ago and decided to go with the diablosport intune I-1000. You can just change tire size and turn off DOD (AFM-turns off v4) without doing anything else. I just changed tire size and left AFM on.

 

Then you can turn it back to stock before taking it back to dealership. Gm week will to prove that me changing tire size in the ECM caused a problem.

 

And the intune I-1000 also comes with a few performance canned tunes.... 87 octane..... 91 octane.... But then you are playing with your motor then

Ok cool il have to look into the Diablosport. I like the just being able to change the tire size wit the other options but I really like the 5 inch touch screen. I really want to see whAt gear my truck is in. Lol I'm thinking all in all my warranty is shot anyway so I might as well get what I want. I want to get a little bit more power wen I need it.. Do you guys think I have a chance at any warranty on the power train? But any other programmers with screens on the fly tuning you guys suggest?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
