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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
