Anyone with a TUNED 2015+ 6.0? Review

[fjtort2]

Thinking about doing a tune on my 2015 6.0. Just around 40,000 miles. Truck has been flawless. I wanna keep it that way. Just dislike the limp, lazy shifts. Does a tune really help on these 6.0s? The tuning company i'm interested in will be in town mid July. I want to keep it as relieable as possible. Thanks!

^^ Been thinking about a tune also, I have around 19k miles, been a flawless truck so far

What about the warranty if a tune is installed? I'm sure it will effect it.

Let us know what you get, price & how much better it runs & drives.

Tune always helps. You can have a tune or a warranty. Pick one.

Yes, I have a Diablew tune for my 2015 w 6.0.

I love it. Drives and shifts so much smoother. Towing is much better as well.

how much did you pick up power wise?? towing that is. Do you think it will pull a taller gear now? I know it made a difference with my old 01 with cai and exhaust. but the warranty thing is hard choice. How much do you tow etc. thanks for the help!

I tow a 7500lb travel trailer. The biggest noticeable difference is the transmission tuning. Much smoother. Downshift when needed. Pulling up the mountains feels like it pulls stronger. If you watch the Fast Lane towing videos the biggest problem is transmission tuning which is now solved with the tune.

I plan on getting a Black Bear tune in the near future. I have heard nothing but good things about them. What tune are you looking to get?

Personally id rather have firmer harder and quicker shifts. Not smoother. But thats just me. Truck is still pretty new only 5000km. LOL. Ill wait for a bit more break in. But im sure there is room to wake it up some with a tune!! Did you get Lew to do a couple custom tunes or are you nearby etc. Thanks again!!

More than likely going with Czipar Performance out of Dubuque, IA. He'll be in town tuning trucks in July.

Yea I wish I could find someone a little closer that could give me a good tune. Black Bear travels around and occasionally they get within driving distance of me. I am just waiting on the right time now.

Premium gas required? Pick up a few more hp? warranty or not have to decide... My 33' TT is a fat one around 950 on the hitch & 11,600 lbs. loaded overall. Gross wht. truck & trailer on the scales 18,120, pulling it back & forth from Mi-Fla.

Thanks

Premium gas is not required for my custom tune.

My wife's Yukon has the same drivetrain and I had it tuned, night and day difference, I would never go back!

If anyone lives near San Antonio, check with NELSON PERFORMANCE

He has tuned my last 3 trucks, and well as a GTO I owned.

Good guy, knows his $shit, easy to talk to.

What is the warranty issue? Can you not remove the tune? The only experiance I have had was a super chips programer in my 7.3 ford. That one I could go back and forth if needed.
