I'm loving mine so far. Haven't played too much yet. Only installed the 91 tune and recalibrated for tire size.

I do wish there was a complete exploded view of the menu with short descriptions of each parameter online. (Update: I did find the online parameters list and that is helpful)

I thought I read you could adjust the mph of when the AFM turns on with the Diablo but so far I only found an on/off option. I'd like to adjust it to 50 mph or higher.

Do you have the link?

ive had my E85 and firm shift tune on for a week and love it. I do have one question. At WOT, towards the end of some shifts my truck sounds like it was banging off the rev limiter. RPM's are still climbing but the exhaust sounds like its surging sometimes. The first time it happened I thought it was wheel spin but I didn't feel any. The second time I looked closely at the RPM's and they were steadily climbing and definitely no wheel spin. This only happens for a few seconds when im in the upper band of RPM's. Anyone else experience this?

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 boost, AFM on (I think it actually works better now), speed limiter off, 20% firmer shifts at WOT (The 91 canned tune already firms up the shifts so adding the extra 20% was not necessary for partial throttle shifts). Recalibrated for tires. Torque management is still on. It's a daily driver and I can't afford to reduce the life of the drivetrain.

 

Someone on here (maybe a different topic) said their MPG went down considerably after installing a Diablo tune... so I wanted to mention that at one point I modified the "stock tune" parameters and my gas mileage went down the tubes... I don't know what I did but I cleared it out and went back to the 91 and I'm back up to 16-17 ish... I'm still doing a lot of remote starts in the cold weather so it may be better than that. I'm thinking I lost about 2 mpg with the 275/60R20 Duratracs but I'm only at about 70% confidence on that right now.

When you got it did you plug it into the computer right away (update) or just open and plug into the truck? Just got mine in the mail yesterday and curious if it was ready from the box.

I hooked mine up the PC first. This is what Diablo recommends to make sure you have the latest updates.

My mileage was down a little right after doing the 87 performance tune on my Sierra. After a few hundred miles it was closer to normal. I believe the computer get's reset after the tune and has to re-learn everything. This is what I modified:

 

- 87 octane flex tune

- trans tune firm shift

- DOD off

- Idle and park/neutral RPM +50

- speed limit off

- torque management off

 

So far I'm liking the driveability improvements. Definitely holds gears longer at partial throttle angles. Before the tune the tranny would be in 4th gear when driving around 25-30 MPH. Now it won't shift into 4th till about 32 MPH. Seems to hold 1st to 2nd shift till about 2000 RPM (can't recall MPH) which is a little higher then stock. It's not so eager to be in the next gear (kind of like tow/haul mode but not quite as extreme). Now the engine isn't "lugging" at such at low RPM and acceleration is there when you need it.

Thx guys that's what I figured. Of course my luck the kids have the computer on the glitch have to look into that first I guess. Kids lol

Anyone have luck with the mpg tune

Have not tried it.

How do you like torque management being turned off?

I like it. I can tell there is a little more low end response when I need it. This plus the transmission holding lower gears longer helps a lot with acceleration.

Why the idle park/neutral ram increase?

Why the idle park/neutral ram increase?

 

After being fully warmed up, I always thought the motor idled a tad too low. When in gear at a stop (especially with the AC on) I would sometimes get a light 'shimmy' coming from the motor. RPM's would usually be just a little under 500. With the 50 RPM increase the motor is now idling smoother when in the same situation.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      I really wanted to go to the Fox 2.5's But they were like ~$1,500 vs ~$425 for the Bilsteins. And my research on FOX shocks was that they do not have a great reputation for longevity. I am sure they the FOX's are fantastic, but I know from experience the Bilsteins are rock solid for at least 150k miles.

      Conditions for Meeting a Cold Start   The ignition voltage is between 10 and 15 V. The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) at start-up is less than 42°C (108°F). The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 2–32°C (36–90°F). The engine is OFF for greater than 6 hours or the following conditions must be met: The start-up IAT minus start-up ECT are within 12°C (22°F). The start-up ECT minus start-up IAT are within 50°C (90°F). Fuel level is between 25 and 75 %.   Circuit/System Verification Verify that all I/M System Status indicators report YES, and that no I/M Test DTCs are present.If any I/M Test DTCs are set Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. If no I/M Test DTCs are set All OK. Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Set Procedure   Warning: Refer to Road Test Warning. Note: Do NOT touch the accelerator pedal until told to do so. A change in TP Sensor angle or an increase in engine speed may invalidate this portion of the test.   Note: An I/M Test DTC will not be stored or erased from the ECU except at the end of trip processing, which occurs 5 s after ignition OFF.   Ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start listed above. If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, perform the EVAP Service bay test if applicable. Turn OFF all of the accessories; HVAC system, other electrical loads, including aftermarket/add-on equipment, etc., and open the hood.   Set the vehicle parking brake and ensure the vehicle is in park for automatic transmission or neutral for manual transmission.   Start and idle the engine for 2 min.   Close the hood, release the parking brake and Accelerate at part throttle to 72–80 km/h (45–50 mph) with this speed maintained until the engine reaches operating temperature, 8–10 min.   Continue operation under these conditions for an additional 6 min.   Accelerate at part throttle to 90 km/h (55 mph) with this speed maintained for 2 min.   Release the accelerator pedal for at least 10 s. This will allow the vehicle to enter the decel fuel cut off.   Safely stop the vehicle, with the engine in drive for automatic or neutral with the clutch pedal depressed and parking brake applied for manual. Allow the vehicle to idle for 2 min.   Shift the vehicle to park for automatic and neutral for manual. Turn OFF the ignition and exit the vehicle. Do NOT disturb the vehicle for 45 min.   Observe the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Status with a scan tool. All of the I/M System Status indicators should display YES.   If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, turn OFF the ignition, ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start, and repeat steps 6-11 three more times, or until the EVAP I/M System Status indicator transitions to YES. If the indicator continues to display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table to identify the DTCs that did not run.   If any of the I/M System Status indicators display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table for the indicator which did not display YES. The I/M System DTC Table identifies the DTCs associated with each I/M System Status Indicator.   Observe the I/M Test DTC information with a scan tool. Verify there are no I/M Test DTCs present. If an I/M Test DTC is set, diagnose the DTC using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle and refer to Inspection/Maintenance System Check.   Observe the engine DTC information with a scan tool. Verify no DTCs are present. If a DTC is set, diagnose using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. After repairs, perform the Inspection/Maintenance Complete System Set Procedure to verify no further DTCs are set.       Looks like one procedure to me.  Repeated as necessary.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By calgator73 · Posted

      My 2020 AT4 6.2 has had the valve spring issue addressed at ~200 miles, front cover/pump replaced at 18k, water pump at 34k and idler pully at 65k.  I would agree with ditching by 100k unless you elect to go with upgraded hardware...say built 10l80 and an lt4 or l8p swap.
