Lookin into tuners for my truck but as usual there's a few. Looking for pros and cons on what y'all have. Thanks

 

I would recommend Hypertech or Diablosport Intune i2. Both are very easy to use and have different features like adjusting the shift firmness and turn off the AFM V4 mode. Then they are easy to uninstall as well and you can resell it when done.

 

You can get a great deal on a new Intune straight from Diablosport by trading in one of their old Predator models I have some Predators for sale cheap and I can ship one directly to Diablosport for you after you place your order. See my for sale thread: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/196810-junk-diablosport-predator-tuners-trade-in-for-100-off-intune/

Would highly recommend a look into Blackbear Performance. It's not necessarily an easy process, but once you figure out how to work the programs and get the handheld to communicate with your computer all is well. The engine is much more responsive on a 91+ tune and the transmission shifts as it should. A little pricey, but well worth the money. Any questions feel free to DM me!

Hypertech 2.0 part 2000 allows you to set the AFM so that it only works above a certain speed that you can program in. I think a lot of people OPT for this unit because of that, they do not like the AFM at low speed but it is great out on the highway to gain a bit of gas mileage. Best of both worlds I guess, plus I am not sure that if you turn off, and leave off, the AFM system completely for years and many thousands of miles if it would actually function later on (Trade In or Sell Time)? Other advantages are it is very easy to use and you can go back to stock anytime or make changes easily in juts a few minutes. I do not know that it produces a huge HP gain or anything but certainly makes the truck more fun to drive. Might just be a Placebo effect....... for 300 bones I cannot complain

I am selling my hyper Tech 2.0 on eBay for $255 plus free shipping. The tuner works great disabled my AFM gave me noticeable throttle response. You can also adjust the shift points and shift firmness which was also a plus. Only on my truck for a couple months, saving up $$ for TwinTurbo's.

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
