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.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
