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.

Trifecta has a tune that is around $700 for 6.2L. Does anyone have any information on this other than tech from the company that says significant gains?

Yes, they do but it's for the K2XX body style trucks. There is nothing on their site that I found for the T1XX trucks with the 5.3/6.2 engines.

My 2018 Sierra SLT with 6.2L had a Hypertech tune and it was rated at 27HP/23TQ. I purchased it for $300 through Autoanything, and it was quite impressive for a plug and play system. Their staff is super knowledgeable and easy to work with. They basically tune the truck to it's full potential, then cut back 20% for safety purposes, is what the tech told me. I also had cat-back exhaust and S & B CAI on it. 

I was leaning towards BlackBear, but from what I read, even they couldn't re-tune the tranny at that time, and their gains were not much more than Hypertech. So I saved over $300, and I chose them mainly because of AFM and speedo re-calibration. It exceeded my expectations, and for the price it was unbeatable in my opinion. 

Wish GM wouldn't have made their new trucks so hard to tune. Most of us just want a simple bump in HP/TQ, along with adjustments of the speedo.

The wait is over! Diablo just released THE PULSAR LT CONTROL MODULE - 22451 https://www.diablosport.com/shop/pulsar-lt-control-module.html?SID=oidk3q1ekdcrjjam9c51mnukd4 Adjust speed limiter, tire size, throttle response, tire pressure, gear ratio, DFM disable, Auto Start/Stop Disable

This still doesn’t give you anymore HP/TQ does it?  
I’m hoping now with this that HP tuners will lower their price and we can tune our trucks for around $800 to $1000.

No it doesn't add any HP or TQ but it does what I was looking for. Adjust the top speed limiter, auto stop/start, throttle sensitivity, and DFM disable. I'm not going to pay 1,300+ programing just to get 30-40hp. I've already put the GM cold air intake and performance exhaust on it and I think with the throttle sensitivity it'll be a huge gain. I would have to put a supercharger on it to justify spending that much on a program.

I’d pay $1300 for 40hp. Heck my exhaust and CAI was $1650. Might have gotten 20hp out of it.  If you can get 40hp for $1300. That’s a bargain if you think about.

White Audio Media group (WAM) can do all this and it's 300+60 for the tool rental.  It can also do a ton more like auto-up windows from keyfob

The throttle sensitivity is like adding HP. It responds so much faster that it will smoke a truck with more HP but no the sensitivity adjusted. The stock adjustment is just sluggish.

I totally agree, but if HP tuners lowers there price, and you get all that you have with the pulsar and pay another $800ish for 40hp. That’s what I’m looking for. 
 

I’ll wait till this spring to see if anything else develops and some more kinks get worked out do this pulsar unit. From what I’m reading it’s sounds very nice.

I like the Diablo because there is no flash needed. once unplugged there is no trace it was there unless the GM tech guy pulls your speed history.

Also I would be leary because HP tuners are the only ones so far who have broken the code.

They are the only ones to break the ECM.  Crazy enough, it's a 30 dollar chip but a ton of work to get that thing open without trashing it.

 

BCM is a different piece of the puzzle and that is what WAMs adjusts.  Owner is on this page but forget his handle.  Anyone know it?

It will only smoke that truck if your both racing at part throttle.  I’ve personally never tried that.  It doesn’t add any wot horsepower, it just tricks you into thinking you have more.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
