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.

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

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.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
