Using the diablo higher octane performance ecm tune. No tm, line pressure all the way up and changed shift points on tcm tune. Raised speed limiter and adjusted for taller tires.

I'm running the Diablo tune , TM off , dod off, firm shift , throttle boost 15%. It's night and day from stock drivability. Just waiting for my CAI and exhaust to be delivered then doing a diablew tune .

Just curious, aren't you guys worried about if your truck needs warranty work? I put bigger rims and tires and want to do a tune but the people in my area prefer not to do them on my truck because it voids all warranty work.

 

Thanks

I have a DiabLew tune and I run E85. The only complaint I had with the canned tune was the transmission. It was either too slow or too harsh, I couldn't find the right median in the settings. I told DiabLew about that specifically and he offered a tune with a much smoother TCM that made the truck feel like it was shifting correctly with the amount of power it was pushing. I'd say the DiabLew ECM/TCM tune was well worth the money. Like a whole new truck, again!

And then there is me. I plugged my intune into my truck and it wouldn't start afterward. Then the "Tech Support" sent me some files and I loaded them and it all failed and happened again, but the second time I couldn't return it to stock without emailing back and forth with "Tech support" for half the day to get my truck running. Never buying a handheld again. Going full custom tune if I ever do.

do you run E85 100% of the time? can run other grades of gas, 87 or higher, without reprogramming? just wondering to you pull a trailer?

I run E85 all the time with the exception of road trips, I fill up with 93 because it gets better mileage. Since it's the sport tune, I don't think it's recommended to run lower octane fuel. The truck computer automatically detects whether its E85 or gasoline for fuel injection reasons, so you don't have to worry about swapping between the two, or mixing, the truck is designed to handle all of it. I pull a trailer a hand full of times each year. As E85 has higher torque and hp ratings, I imagine it would be easier to pull running that fuel, but you'll get poorer mileage. But here in Texas, E85 is around $1.4* ish range, cheaper than most gasoline, so it pretty much evens out cost wise.

Same complaint here, the shifts are firm, but its still not to my liking. Sending Lew some money tomorrow..

We have two trucks. physically the same setup. we bought a Diablew tune for one and just ran a modified canned tune in the other. we decided the canned tunes had a better overall feel and better gas mileage.

Has anyone adjusted any of the more advanced parameters available on the advanced tune section?

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
