This (old) article suggest the I2 will work with the '17. I didn't want to install it yet because I'm under my CPO warranty period. But...... I just may. I'll repost if I do.

Thanks,
Jon

Ahh I see. Yea I'm a long way from being out of my powertrain warranty. Still havent decided if I want to tune now or later.

With all the problems people are having with the 8spd i dont really want to chance it. My performs great though

Exactly. The 6.2 is a dream. Diablo claims 21HP though...

Hey I just read that adjusting tire size in the 17+ disables cruise control at highway speeds. WTF.

Hahahaha wtf... yea my 6.2 and 8spd has been an excellent setup.

My uncles 17 5.3 6spd was a dog. I much prefer the shifting of the 8spd stock. After we tuned his it was much better though

there is no 89 tune, its either 87, 91 or 93.

 

i installed the 87 flex advanced tune and I gotta say, its a totally different truck.  

i disabled DOD, increased throttle to 7%, firm shifts, adjusted tire size.

 

ive had my 14 AT for 5 years. i love the truck but the thing that aggravated me was the throttle response. when driving at partial throttle, or going uphill, or going to pass, there was always a half second delay when punching it.  y'all know what I'm talking about, that hesitation and then lunge once it kicked it, even feeling as tho it didn't know what gear it wanted to be in.  

 

now that's completely gone.  response is immediate and strong.  absolutely no hesitation.  before, when driving on the interstate i always felt like i was giving it a lot of throttle, even feeling like it was working harder that it should be. today on my first interstate drive since the tune, i looked down and was going 85 with barely any throttle, AND it felt like there was tons more available. i know my mpg will suffer but its worth it. i like driving the truck again.

I have an 18 silverado and ran it stock down the 1/8 mile with 93 octane then put the diablo tune in and the thing went slower...lol well at least i shut the 4cyl mode off guess i paid alot for just that

I did a 9.876 in the 1/8th  at 72.7 mph with my crew cab. I launched in 4X4 and switched to 2WD right after.

 

I do the tuning myself and the engine is stock running at that time was 30% alcohol mix.

    • I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉
    • CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect. 
    • That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less? 
    • That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package. 
    • Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?
