These issues are unfortunate I was about to purchase this. Guess I'll wait to see if they update it.

My replacement unit came in and its installed.  So far it works perfectly.  Throttle sensitivity adjustments DO work on the fly and make a dramatic difference in pedal feel.  As long as everything kee

They have a 30 day guarantee. Maybe you’ll have better luck than me.

Mine worked fine all weekend after the small problem I had when using it “on the fly” and finding out they don’t really mean that. Remote started it today and had a CEL. Onstar couldn’t give me the code, “unable to probe module”. She asked if I had anything connected to the truck. It wasn’t shifting right and surging at cruising speed (35mph).

I’m really hoping my device needs an update but the tech support person I spoke with this morning said “probably not, it’s brand new so there shouldn’t be any updates available”. Needless to say I’m about one or 2 more CELs from returning it.

Others say theirs works flawlessly. I’m not that lucky.

Disconnect the thing and see if running issue clears up and/or then get code from onStar.

Exactly what I plan to do tomorrow. Didn’t feel like messing with it tonight as I have a small shim in the negative terminal (because it fits loose) and I don’t wanna lose it [emoji3061]

Shim? Negative terminal? Sounds like a source for a problem.....

After 2 dead batteries, one being on a “new” battery because the first was blamed on a bad cell, I investigated on my own and found the negative terminal was looses even when tightened all the way down. I put a small piece of metal in between the post and the terminal to take up the slack. I can assure you it is not a source for a problem as it’s been 7,200 miles since...

10-4. My first though was that you'd shimmed a terminal in one of the connectors... Rather than the battery terminal.

My truck recently did a software update on its own. I was prompted to initiate it when I had about 15 min. to complete it. My question is does anyone know if we would have to unplug this device every time GM sends an update to our trucks?

Got it installed yesterday afternoon and it’s a night and day difference. The one I originally got had a dead pedal lag kinda thing. This one does not. No CEL either. Haven’t tried adjusting the throttle setting on the fly, I’ll do it today though..

I tried to install mine this morning.  As soon as I turn the ignition on I get reduced engine power, ESC and parking brake errors.  Range is sending out another one.  Bummer.

It’ll be worth the wait.

I got mine from Diablo.  No difference I'm sure.  Worked great.  Only odd thing is I can't shut off start/stop with dash switch when unit is hooked up and set to not disable it. I can disable it through the unit as designed though.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
