Does anyone know of any tuning news? I’m on a waiting list with blackbear. Diablew claims it won’t be supported or at least isn’t yet. AFE allegedly has tuning through their scorcher device next month. Edge had no response to my inquiry. Bully dog has not responded either.

It will not be as expensive as the ZR1 but likely similar to the L5P trucks. If you want to add boost it will be worth it but more expensive then the 14-18 trucks. For the casual bolt on guy it will b

I’ll wait it out. I got all the street racing out of my system with my duramax. I’m just enjoying the smooth ride of a half ton for now.

Actually I’m well aware of how the process works. I just got rid of my duramax. Aside from the ECM it’s a 10 credit unlock. I don’t think I had any false information in my post. You can send yours t

Nothing.

 

The new ZR1 and Silverado have nothing yet and if they do, it's not going to be cheap at all because of how complex they have made it. HP Tuners has had a thread or two but it's nothing new.

That’s what I was afraid to hear. I traded my 2015 LML Duramax for my RST and was hoping the L5P ECM issues wouldn’t pop up for the gassers.

I’m sure blackbear and efi live are on it.

Unless Blackbear is the person reverse engineering the computer himself, he's playing the waiting game.

 

I'm sure EFI Live, HP Tuners and everyone else are slowly testing work arounds but I wouldn't get your hopes up for something working soon.

So HP tuners just announced they cracked the corvette ECM. Bad news is it’s a 10 credit unlock and on these trucks there’s no way it’s worth it.

Maybe you missed the part that is also costs $2000 just for the computer, plus the 10 credits, plus more credits for the TCM and FPCM.

 

I wouldn't say it's a crack, it's a whole new computer just like the diesel L5P trucks.

** Just talked to Diablew (Lewis Eaton) and he says he can tune the 5.3L AFM with 6 speed auto -  no go on the 5.3L DFM with 8 speed auto. Not now and possibly not ever.

Just got a response from AFE about their SCORCHER PRO for the new 2019 GM trucks.

Hi XXXXXX, the programmer was expected to release 06/28/19 for some reason it is currently not out yet. We expect the programmer to be this upcoming Friday which would be 07/12/19. The programmer allows tire change, speed limit, it will have customized tunes as well such a Econ mode, Towing mode. As far for a package being sold we are currently not sure but usually we do have an intake and a programmer bundle.

I spoke to them as well. It’s not going to work on the new gen trucks. Only the legacy.

Well isn't that a B17ch!!! I was specific in my email also about it being for the New Gen 2019 and even used the specific assigned part number that the have advertised for both the 2019 Silverado and Sierra. Don't understand why GM doesn't leave it up to us to void our own damn warranty......

Hi Oscar, 
Than you for the quick response! And this will be for the new Gen GM Trucks correct? Or will it be for the 2019 legacy truck?

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.

She is a frequent contributor to right-leaning networks and platforms, offering commentary that intersects the automotive industry, consumer economics, and conservative political perspectives. [1, 2, 3] Media and Commentary Network Contributions: Fix serves as the National Automotive Correspondent for Newsmax and is a frequent guest on Fox News and Fox Business. Video Platforms: She has contributed to PragerU, where she has hosted videos critiquing government mandates on vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Core Positions Anti-EV Mandates & Fuel Policies: Fix regularly critiques government subsidies and mandates for electric vehicles (EVs), framing them as impractical and burdensome to the average consumer. She advocates for consumer choice and supports traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Economic Analysis: Her commentary often emphasizes the impacts of fuel prices, inflation, and federal regulations on drivers. [1, 2, 3] Political Alignment: On her public channels, she actively supports deregulation, "drill baby drill" energy policies, and the removal of government restrictions on auto sales and manufacturing. [1, 2] For analysis from Lauren Fix on how consumer automotive choices can align with political leanings:
