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.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
