I love my new truck stock for stock it beats my 11 ram 1500 2wd hemi but after the tuner on ram it made it pretty quick

But enough of that i have the intune I2 off my ram

1. And i know its been asked but this is brand new (had 70miles) would gm see that i have tuned it i hear yes and no.

2. Would i run into a failed calibration issue. Like my 11 ram

I forgot to add turns out my dealership is a performance dealer, what does this really mean? I heard from someone on another forum they had a twin turbo instilled by the dealer cost per hr was higher but they warrantied it if something happened

 

Could i have the intune instilled?

I guess I would call the dealer and ask a few general questions about what they offer. Unless they maintain your warranty with any sort of tune they may offer, you'll be out of luck. If you tune it on your own, the powertrain warranty will be void in the eyes of GM.

Thanks i always hear, that dialbosport cant be seen when set back to stock even the company says it. But from others they said the dealer can see flash counts, etc. so thats why i am confused.

 

I really dont care a lot on the power gains a whole lot because this truck flat out gets it, but in town it would be nice 3:42s make it seem lazy off the line. Without giving it a whole lot of fuel

 

Thanks Steve

Just shot them an email, i didnt ask about tuning i just wanted to see what they ment by performance dealer.

 

My version-make it have more power. (Tuner, turbos, etc)

Theres-exhaust, and intake.. And claims its faster.

Dealer and GM will see the flash count (GM even states to VOID the warranty of ANY aftermarket cal has been preformed, its on their monthly shop reports) so the risk is always high. Either one of the can void the warranty, remember its a sales man job to push for income, over promise and under deliver. There are a few dealers that will back up their upgrades, have everything in writing, do not authorize until you have a contract.

 

Congrats on the truck, IMO I would wait until about 10,000-12,000 miles for tune or forced induction mods, these trucks seem to really settle in around that mileage.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
