I have been scouring the web trying to find a programmer / tuner for my 017 Silverado 5.3 6 Speed. I can't find anything from bully dog, diablo, etc. What options are there. Sorry if this has been asked a million times. Really want to unleash the power of the engine and feel like us 2017 people are handcuffed. Anyone have any insight? HELP!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going nuts

Hptuner or EFI Live. Blackbear uses EFI Live. Here is my thread about what I jave learned. I think you have the T87 TCM the new 8 speeds with the T87A TCM only Hptuners can unlock the TCM by sending it to them.

Thanks for the help. I'm really for now just looking to add a little performance and eliminate the AFM. Online it states this will work with the 2017 Silvy. Do you know if it will work?

 

Superchips Flashpaq F5 Tuner (14-17 5.3L)

 

If you have any insight it would be great

My suggestion is any thing you would be looking to buy for tuning a 2017 is to call or e-mail the manufacturer of the device you are looking to purchase. They have made it alot harder to acess the ECU's on the 2017's.

Diablo doesn't work. Had a friend who manages an O'Reilly store call them today because they supposedly have a new update that allows their tuner to work. Tried 3 times and it would not load after updating the tuner. Wild is right call the manufacturer directly and ask if their tuner works on the 2017s. If yes have them put it in writing that they will refund cost of tuner plus shipping if it doesn't work.

Good idea to have them put it in writing. I ordered a flashscan V2 (efi live) from Blackbear. $900. I found out they could not tune the trans and returned it. They wanted to hit me with a 20% restocking fee. I was very understanding but still smooth talked my way to only deducting $38 instead of $180. I was lucky I was even able to return it at all. +1 to Blackbear for being a stand up company.

Good deal on Blackbear's part not to ding you that bad on fee. However its always "buyer beware" and people need to ask questions of the manufacturer to find out whether or not item works with their model year vehicle, engine and transmission. If the manufacturer answers yes to something have them give a money back guarantee in writing. That way you are going to be taken care of if there is an issue.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Has anyone run these on their 2500?

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
