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.

      Gotta say the Silverado wins in the exterior looks department, in my opinion.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
