I preordered the aFe tuner which was supposed to come out this December.  Now it's no longer listed.  Any of you guys had luck anywhere yet?

I have a 2021 6.2L TrailBoss and I have added a 3.0L Whipple Supercharger and ECU unlocked by HP Tuners. All the work and dyno tuning has been done by National Speed Inc. They have been able to squeez

What I don't understand is why everyone is upset at the cost to tune their vehicle.  Something that will last as long as you want, but think nothing about throwing $3 to 4k on wheels and tires. Then a

I think we have a language barrier.  I’m saying gradually adding hp or torque is easier on the drivetrain, and you tell me I’m wrong and then say the same thing.  I think.

I haven't heard of any tuners yet. I know they just started being able to tune with HP tuners about a month ago. Hopefully that opens the door for tuners to become available at a affordable option.

Being that you need to use an unlocked computer, doubtful anything will come along that is a plug and play deal.

 

$1900 if you wanna use HP Tuners yourself.

HP tuners is the only option as of now.  But like the rams; edge and diablo sport offered a tuner that piggybacked the PCM.  It was less than half the price of buying the unlocked PCM and then purchasing tunes on top of that.  The same thing just happened to the new duramax L5P.  It's currently 7-8k CAD to delete them but edge just released the pulsar which piggybacks the PCM, an 80 or 90hp gain supposedly. I ran the pulsar on my ram and it worked real good! I think it'll come out for these 5.3/6.2's eventually.

I’ve been searching all over for this info! Where do y’all find it? I saw the afe scorcher pro as well and got suckered into the pre order, but I’ve been wanting to find a way for custom tunes and a pro charger. With everything added up in the cart on the hp website, I got 2300$ and change for ecm exchange, tcm exchange, mpvi2 and the necessary 14 credits. Does this sound right to y’all? Hopefully y’all can direct me to some top notch tuners in the 6.2 gasser world. I’m coming from tuned diesels, is black bear still one of the best tuners? Thanks y’all. Sorry to kind of highjack your post.

There will be no handheld tuners for $500 available. The only way to do it is the way that HP Tuners does it which leaves out anything other then unlocking the ECM and having someone who knows the GM DI vehicles program it, unless you have that knowledge yourself. $1900 bare minimum if you can do it yourself. Closer to $3k if you cannot.

 

 

Also the 19 TCM is not a T87A so no unlocking is available on that yet. Just the E90 ECM fir now.

 

I will be putting a Whipple on my AT4 in the next 60-90 days and tuning it myself. Hoping the TCM unlocking will be available by then.

yeah, what he said ^^^^^^^.  Best to have a performance shop just do everything for you, take out your ECM, send it to HP Tuners, install you new ECM, and then they will do a custom tune on your vehicle... and yeah your looking north of $3K.  The days of the old hand held Superchips and such are over.

One thing to add. You cannot replace the ECM unless you have both a GM service tool and HP Tuners. So you can’t send it out and replace it on your own and then drive it stock until it is tuned. The shop tuning it will need to do it all. This will also leave out the part timers who have HP Tuners with an older interface or no access to GM service tools.

16 was the end of the traditional GM security that was able to be unlocked on the fly..... Similar things need to be done with newer Dodge/Ram and Ford will follow shortly...

What piggyback systems are there out there?  I have used things like that, Power Commanders and stuff on motorcycles for 10+ years...  Easy to plug them in to the injectors and coils and then take the truck to a shop with a dyno and have them create a custom fuel/ignition map for you.

Leaves no trace on the ECU for the warranty dept to pick up on, as everything happens after the ECM.  Vengeance Racing is near me, and I may drive over there to see what they can offer for my 5.3L Trail Boss...

I spoke to the Diablo guys a couple weeks ago, and they said they don’t know when but eventually they’ll have something.   I was going remove the VIN lock on mine as sell it, but their tech guy said wait, so that gives me a little hope that new code is coming.

I called the Diablo guys a couple of weeks ago myself and they said that they are hoping to have a working programmer in 3-4 months. The key word is "hoping". He didn't make any promises but did sound like they were onto something.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      By TheGeek · Posted

      I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem?

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
