Max Shift Point (RPM) for Each Gear WOT - 2016 6.2L 8 speed?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just looking to get what each gear, when going WOT, holds to shift max rpm in a 2016 GMC SD 6.2L 8 speed. I remember in my 6 speed 2008 SD the shift points were all short of both what the tranny and engine were designed to handle. Justin at Blackbear increased the shift points and it has been great. Just curious at what the 8 speed has as shift points before I get the next tune from BB. Thanks.

:crackup: I needed that one.

I am going to attempt to command mine to 6100 or so..... currently shifts at 5800 through the first 4...... after that I don't really care.

1994Vmax, Thanks for the valid response... I read the engine was tested up to 6,000 rpm and transmission was tested up to 7,000+. I remember in my 08 SD they had a couple of the lower gears shifting at 5,250 which was way before peak power. At 5,800 at least it is much closer to higher rating with some tweak room available.

It is. They pretty much do nothing but lose horsepower past 5600 rpm but I found running it higher at the track beneficial to my et. I raised 4th I think it was to 5800 but then really I was leaving it in M4 and letting it hit the limiter just past the traps. With stock rubber and 3.23s shifting beyond 4th just slows it down. Mine pretty much gave up the ghost after 5200 on the dyno and started losing power but it does otherwise at the track lol. My first gear continually short shifts... it will do 5800 once or twice a key cycle and the drop to 5500 afterwards... I am going to try and match my mph to my engine rpm and see if it fixes it as that was the suggestion on the hp forums. The 8 speeds support still isn't there like it is with the 6 speeds and of course 4 speeds. I might fiddle with mine with efilive on the tcm anyway and see if I can do more.

Oh yeah. Gm rates max rpm on the Vette LT1 at 6600 rpm. Beyond the difference in intake and exhaust manifolds the actual long block between the L86 and LT1 are identical. So even at 6100 or whatever I am below GM'S design rpm... whether it makes any hp or not lol.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
