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

Yeah man I'm not sure what to expect. If anything I'm gonna need at least a way to change the tire size so my shift points do change to much with the bigger tire. I had talked to one of the guys from DiabloSport, not Diablew, and I guess they are looking into doing something like the Pulsar piggy back that they have for the new Rams.

I’m running a 6” BDS with 35x12.50r20 Mickey Thompson MTZ and I haven’t noticed any ill effects. I wouldn’t void my warranty for -3 mph at 70 mph.

I have the same lift sitting in my garage but I'm gonna be running 35x12.50r22 Fury R/T's. Can't wait to get home from this deployment to get everything installed. Hopefully they have some type of tune to compliment an intake and exhaust loaded on that thing if this info is correct. I had a 14 with a 4" lift on 33's last and the Diablo tune really help out with MPG's on the 5.3L. Got the 6.2 this time around so hopefully the feeling of power lost isn't to noticeable this time. Really wished Diablo could have this thing figured out

You won’t notice much if any. I have the 5.3 and honestly haven’t noticed much loss like the old 6 speeds. I’m coming from a tuned 2015 duramax and I still like this truck.

No one is going to get into the DFM engines with a handheld. It just isn’t cost effective. HP Tuners will have a solution but it will not be cheap and that will rule it out for most people who are not doing internal engine mods or superchargers.

Other devices are available for simple speedo calibration.

Sadly, you are correct. They just cracked the corvette which I think is the same ECM and it is a 10 credit unlock. The return on the investment won’t be there the way it is with Diesel engines.

I work with tuning vehicles everyday and the guys with 17-18 are still shocked at pricing with unlocked modules. Similar to the Mopar guys.

It's a shame they made it so difficult. The aftermarket seems to be suffering for it. Nobody is making parts for the T1s yet since they can't be tuned   sucks

It’s not GM that is making tuning so hard it’s the Feds, the EPA is forcing GM and everyone else to lock it down. Won’t be long you won’t be able to change your exhaust or air cleaner.

Talked to a guy by the name of Nick who works for AFE in Indiana. He's the lead guy for their electronics engineering products and he assured me their SCORCHER PRO is for the new T1's. He said they are putting finishing touches on their tunes at the moment on the dyno. He understands that the product was suppose to be released already but they fell behind and won't be out for about 6 weeks. They will be doing data logging and sending out tunes for aftermarket exhaust and intakes after you register your module. They are also going to offer base tunes for completely stock trucks or upgraded tunes if you have other AFE products installed on your truck. According to him you will also have access to change a few other parameters on your truck but overall he said everything is looking promising.

DFM. They already have modules that work with the older AFM engines

Im going to say they will not have these shipping in 6 weeks. Even then there is very little adjustability for anything besides a CAI and exhaust. No transmission tuning can be done on the 8 or 10 speed with out an unlocked TCM.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and maybe memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
