Any news on tuners?

I have headers, full exhaust and intake on the way.  I know I’ll have to tune the truck to get the full results of the power upgrades.

Those numbers are about avg anyway when most consider that drive train loss is ~15%. Your numbers are 15-17% when compared to crank numbers.   If someone gains 40whp from a tune I will eat m

From what  I can tell the Corvette and such are getting tuned at a lower cost but the truck line still is a major pain.  Is this correct?   Not sure what is up with GM and their marketing de

Jac365, nope, I ordered this truck in the summer of 2018, as far as the engine, the 5.3 which I had 4 Silverados with that engine, the 6.2 is by far a better chose. More power, better mpg, and it make

Ali, good luck with tuning your GMC, I've been waiting forever, bought 2019 GMC AT4 6.2 L 10 Speed last March, put K&N Cold Air Induction, ordered it with GMs Borla Exhaust, had it Dynoed 360HP, 384 TQ, Waiting for tune, they tell me GMC has computers locked up on there trucks. This truck is pretty quick with just this, 1/8 mile 9.23, actually beat a friend of mines 2018 Ford Raptor till he got a tune.

Yup, HP Tuners is your only option and you will have to pay someone to tune it on top of the cost for the replacement computer and unlock fee's.

 

But what's another couple grand when you just splashed out $75,000+ CAD on a Denali plus mods.

Damn,  I thought I had the only Smokey Quartz double cab standard bed AT4 in the northeast.....I only got a 5.3 8 speed though....

More power, better mpg, and it makes this truck a winner, if they would only unlock the computer so you can tune it, that would be perfect.

And the 10speed is smooth, the last 2 summers I been racing it at a 1/8 mile drag strip, with a 9.23 time, beat my friends 2008 Mustang Bullitt, his brothers 2008 Mustang GT, and 2018 Ford Raptor all with out a tune. This truck is a Monster.

I have said this from the get go. The truck can flat out move for a 5500lb vehicle. I have also taken down countless 90s and 2000 mustangs with the older 5.0l and 4.6l. I too wish GM would allow it to be unlocked and get another 30 to 40 go out of a tune. The 10 spd though makes all the difference.  It is so smooth without any clunking or skipping like my old 8 spd.  Nice truck??

No tuning here either but I have to agree, the 6.2 and 10 speed combo is smooth and quick. I'm constantly surprised how much faster it is than the 5.3 6 speed combo I had in my K1. I may take mine to the trip too and see how it does.

A unlocked hptuners ECU is your only option.  It's about $2k for a new ECU, credits, and tuning

Ford and FCA will be forced to do similar things security wise

I emailed the company that makes Diablo tuners, and they said they'd have something out in possibly 3-4 weeks.  I also contacted DiabLew who said there might be a Diablo tuner coming, but it will probably still require a total ECU swap no matter what, and that pricing will be up there.  Nobody gave specifics yet, but it may not be terribly far off from HPTuners prices for all I know... since they're essentially doing the same thing.   I guess we'll have to wait and see, but something IS coming... just don't know what and how much.

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
