Well, I emailed Superchips, and they responded back that they don't have a tune yet for the 8 speed. So txmuder who did you talk to about your tune?

Did not get a name but it does work on my 2015 w/8spd 6.2L. I will call them and get back. I now that at first he (?) said no then told me to hold on and then said yes and told me which to buy (Flashpag tuner 2842) it came in, I followed the steps to download and then to upload the program onto the tuner above. But again I will check on my end.

From what I have read, the Flashpaq can tune everything but the 8 spd, they are still working on it. How does it work for removing the limiter? That's my main concern, flattening out at 98 when I am trying to pass someone sucks

You can remove the speed limiter with the tuner, it has nothing to do with the transmission tune

I just got off the phone with Superchips Tech Support, they do offer the 2015 Silverado w/6.2 & 8 spd programming but as I mentioned before you need to purchase the Flashpaq 2842 (2841 if in Cali) and the down load the upgrades onto it using the directions given with the new 2842 as I did. And yes it does offer 8 spd performance increase just not real aggressive of one. Mine shift hard and with more performance than in factory mode.

 

If you have questions call Tech Support for Superchips as they have not released this information on their website as of yet.

 

Hope this helps.https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10206374707663779 got ride of my speed limiter.

Bigunit......I guess what I meant by shifting hard is that it shifts more aggressive than in stock settings but not as aggressive as some might want. In my 2012 Silverado w/6.2 I had the Hypertech Max Energy programmer and it was able to adjust the shift firmness from 0% to 100% firmer but at times even at only 25% settings it seemed to much so I actually am enjoying the way my 15' is shifting.

I have a superchips GM F5 2842 coming in this week from my local superchips authorized dealer. It is supposed to fully support the 2016 6.2 8spd. Only thing I do not know is if I can set my AFM to stay off at slow speeds and only work above 60 mph out on the highway like i want to. That would be awesome. I will try to remember to come back and report next week maybe someone can bump this thread and remind me if they are interested in a report?...................

Pretty sure the AFM is on/off and is active based on RPM's not MPH.

      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!
