Anybody Have BlackBear Tuner Issues???

ChuckTaylors27 · April 21, 2019

Has anybody had any issues with BlackBear Autocal that was not a user problem? Anything specifically pertaining to ECU lockup? I heard about that happening on an 8 speed dodge but was okay on the 6 speed dodge.

From what I hear and what I read, blackbear is the way to go. Mostly what I am looking for is drivability and to tighten the hell out of my transmission as I just put a new one in. Other things id like to take care of is the Active Fuel Management, Torque Management System, and change up my stabilitrak/TC preferences.

Im not so concerned with running e85 or premium tunes as what I can tell being stock it really won't make a huge difference in engine preservation.

Does anybody have any experiences or knowledge to share for what I will see in the future choosing BlackBear, or maybe some suggestions to add to my list for Justin?

Thanks guys

I’m BlackBear tuned and haven’t had any issues. They will tell you that if your truck was previously tuned with a Diablo product that they need to know because they have to do some extra work because the Diablo leaves it’s finger prints in the ECM that they have to work around. It is possible that is why some of those trucks were locking up.

I have flashed numerous BlackBear tunes on my 2017 without any issues. Probably flashed it about 20 times by now. I've also flashed my ECM back and forth between tunes using HP Tuners and BlackBear's Auto Cal (EFI Live) without any issues.
