I am planning on putting a spreadsheet together of all parameters so I can easily track what I change and how it performs real world. Not sure when I'll have the time to get this done, but it's my pla

I have been Looking to start a list of anyone running DiabloSport's inTune i2 Performance Programmer - i2030. I'm very Curious to know what others have done/ tried and what results they have received

So I messed with the i2 some more. I don't know enough about some of the parameters to mess with them (like advance or retard spark etc).  I think what I like most is the 91 tune with 20% throttle bo

Never had that personally. I would definitely contact Diablo.

Please excuse my last post. Posting off a phone doesnt work sometimes. Ive noticed that people are deactivating the AFM. Any particular reason for doing this? Have you seen a drop in milage due to this? thanks.

I don't think AFM does much around town. I think on a long highway ride it would help mpg. I didn't notice a drop in mileage actually... I would imagine there would have to be but I didn't notice it. I can only speak for myself but the reason I shut it off initially was to see how it would respond and it really is smoother and more responsive with it off. I think the new AFM is too intrusive. My father has an 2011 and I feel like his only really comes in during coasting or really light pedal input. Maybe it doesn't do as much as ours but it's not as intrusive.

I can't recall exactly but when I updated my Trinity the last time I had to use an older Windows machine that hasn't been used in a while (I have two MacBooks but the trinity software isn't supported), I had an error message come up and I remember having to search around and make sure all the USB drivers for that computer were updated. Once I went through all that I had no issues. Might be worth a try.

Are you using a mac? If you are try windows. I tried my macbook first for my InTune and it wouldn't work at all... I had to use my laptop from work which is windows in order to get it to work.

Does anyone know the nature of the update that came out on 12/4/2017?

I've updated my unit but haven't run it in the truck yet.

I've recently done the 93 Diablo tune on my 14 Sierra with AFM off, speed limiter off, firm shift. Haven't messed with the throttle values. I also could not update the unit on my Macbook, had to use a windows computer at work. Agree that the tune really livens up the truck significantly

This is a great thread.  I just leveled my truck and had bigger tires put on and I've been researching adjusting the speedometer.  I've basically settled on the fact that I'm going to need a tuner.  This Diablosport tuner seems to be getting the best reviews outside of BlackBear.  I've also wanted to turn off AFM as well so this is an all in one solution.  Now I just need to get the purchase past the Mrs. haha

 

After reading this thread though, I would caution everyone to be careful with the engine idle adjustment.  If you recall, when these K2 trucks first came out, the very first recall for them was that the truck could catch fire while idling.  The recall fix was a software update.  Thinking logically about this, how does a software update prevent a fire?  Likely, they adjusted the engine idle and possibly the cooling fan speed.  Just be careful adjusting these settings and leaving your trucks to idle too long.

Just bought the Diablo i3 platinum, installed the the basic 87 octane with firm shift and changed tire size 285/60/20, made a huge difference with minimal settings, no more lag at take off no more trans trying to figure out what gear to be in, much better performance can definitely feel the extra horsepower. I have read that some people have installed their stock setting back then made their changes is this something you need to do or can you just update your current settings without reverting back to stock first.

Ordered it yesterday AM, delivered yesterday PM. Gotta love Amazon Prime. 

 

No problem firing it up & updating. Installed the 93 tune with firm shifts.  Easy peasy. 

I think I'll try the hard shifts next.

I have never reverted back to stock to make updates. My understanding is the software on the Diablo goes through each setting regardless of what you changed so therefore I've never gone back to stock to make updates. I don't remember seeing that in the manual either.

I was worried about this when I tuned my Colorado. Originally went for the 89 then went and changed it to 93. I was sweating for a couple months that I deleted my factory tune by not restoring before going to the 93. Especially when the tuner says something along the lines of copying previous tune. Long story short tho, when it came time to get rid of the truck I restored it to factory with no issues.

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
