Tuner question

jmeeler19 · March 8, 2019

I purchased a 2016 Silverado that was tuned by the previous owner with a Hypertech tuner. I purchased a Diablo InTune3. Will I be able to install the Diablo tunes or does it need to be set back to factory before I can do it?

Set it back to stock first. You don’t want your original tune on the new tuner to be a tune from another tuner. Damn that was a mouth full.

I just installed a tune from Diablew and it was awesome

I called Diablo and talked to them. They said that the InTune3 can't write tunes to a vehicle that isn't set to factory anyway. Going to have to try to get with the original owner to set it back to stock or go to a dealer and have them do it.

That's what I was thinking but the original owner lives about 3.5hrs from me and the dealer wants $100-$150 to set it back to stock so I was considering being lazy and cheap...lol

Have the original owner overnight the tuner to you. Set it back to stock and ship it back to him. Cheaper than a trip to the dealer and nobody has to make a 3hr drive

I've considered that. It's useless to him since it's married to my truck. He offered to sell it to me for $100 but I don't want the tuner.

Pay him the $100 for the tuner. Return the truck back to stock. Sell the tuner on ebay and make $50-75 profit from it.
