Did you get the transmission tuned as well or just the PCM?

$8.5k 

PCM was sent to HP Tuners, they unlock it and send it back, then ProCharger sends the tune files and you load them through your pc. 
I shipped it on a Monday, arived to HP tuners on a Wednesday and they shipped it back on a Friday aternoon. 

 


Absolutely everything works. But the car will not start at the first press of the start engine (starts at the second press). You need to take if yo someone (dealer, mechanic, yourself) with an MDI2 tool and SPS suscription. I did it myself and I am not a mechanic. My local dealer sucks and was lost on what needed to be done. 

What exactly did you have to do with the mdI2? I just ordered a procharger myself. Was hoping the hp tune would be all I needed for the truck to work fine. I have no experience in using a mdI2 but very willing to learn. 
Also If day you added a cat back or cai to your truck can you change parameters with the hp tuner they sent with the kit? Thanks man.

Truck looks unreal btw

any dyno numbers? send some videos of idle and acceleration please. I had a Procharger P1SC on my 2001 Silverado 5.3 back in 2001 and I'm considering one for my 2020 Trailboss 6.2.....

Did you have your hood scoop painted or were you able to order already color matched?

 

Congrats on going boosted. It's a lot of fun. Ran 682hp at the wheels on my last mustang.

What tunes did you go with? 93 octane, E-85? You can usually pick up considerable more HP running E-85 provided the tuner has the ability.

I had the K&N Cai and just reverted back to the system that comes with the procharger. It took 7 tune attempts to get my truck correctly working but the guys from Procharger are good. I guess they now have the correct parameters for future trucks. I do not have any CEL on. 

 

The MDI2 I bought from amazon (a bit expensive). There is a Chinese version but I decided to go with the original one. You actually do not need one if your dealer has a clue about things... (not my case). It is only for the truck to start the engine on the 1st push of the button instead of doing it 2 times each time. If you need more details I will be happy to help.

I had it painted locally, just by giving the color code.

I live abroad, so locally I get 95 octane.

upload those videos!!!!

 

I wanna put a blower on my 6.2 so badly but I've has it for less than 2 months and don't wanna lose my warranty just yet

The scoop is just because I like the way it looks. It may be removed anytime. It installs with a strong double sided tape
 

the light bar is a must for these trucks. The original hi-low beam is very bad. 
I did install the switch on the right side, which I feel is much easier to reach while driving:

Can you share more info about the LED Bar?  Where did you get it? Wiring? Thanks

    • 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?
