Dumb question is this detectable by the dealer and can potentially impact warranty?

The BCM doesnt report CVN's like an ECM or TCM so short of them REALLY digging (which none of this should give anyone cause to do) I don't see any avenue at the dealer level this would be visible.

same question as Unwrntd, also will you be able to deactivate dfm and auto stop?

DFM is controlled by the ECM as is AutoStop so sadly at this point nothing for those.

I have a Custom Trailboss

 

is this something I can do on my truck?

 

is there a way to do the cluster upgrade with this and add in the steering wheel controls to operate the cluster?

 

is it possible to upgrade the stereo to the 8”?

 

if any of these are possible, would you guys package any of this together?

Sorry, but is there an option to purchase the tool vs. renting it?

I think you would need to purchase the AutoSync unit @$349 USD

Thank you!!! I’ve had warranty problems before and want to cover my bases

kinda figured, just can't understand how bcm functions control speed limiter. So like the garage door, over my head, keep up the good work.

So in 99% of Global A applications the BCM i the speed limiter master. Not sure if you've tuned a car before but in most tuning programs you have to set the ECM as the master THEN tune it out; we just do it at the root :)

So... I snuck an order in under the old webpage (I won't go too much into it because I see that it has changed), and now I see it is different.  I read through all of the directions and instructions... and nothing looks the same now as it did then.  Can you give me an overview of how this is going to work now?  You can email me if you would prefer.  Order #: 17413

    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
    • I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
