It's my understanding that it's so expensive now (vs getting older trucks tuned) because the ECM is encrypted, and not many people have figured out how to get around the encryption, so prices are high

The issue as already stated is encryption.  There are plenty of tuners out there, just none that have the know how and/or capital to crack G.M.'s encryption. They're may be some truth to cost analysis

Which is why they need to either bring back 4.10s, give it a competitive transmission, or release the rumored big block.    Or best of all, all 3 available in a truck!

Year later, still nothing. 
Thing is don’t even think they need to crack the ecm or be able to flash it to make hp/tq changes. They could go old school like the old edge piggy back systems with sensor foolers and such.

no way id use that gizmo tuning thingy, if its not hp tuners or equivilent . really from my understanding its encrypted pcm like the c8 vette. my personal dyno tuner guy says its gunna take a serious amount of time and effort for some one to do it. and he tunes 300 to 4000+ hp cars all the time for a living. so until somebody (cracks it open) its going to be damn near impossible. really sucks too, cause id like to do a tvs 2650 blower/ bigger injectors/ 1 7/8 headers/ true dual all 3in stainless and some e85. but i really dont see it happening.

You really can't go wrong with a product where the support for it is described like this "RUSH-RUSH Help Center replaced former Magnum Tech Support"

 

It appears to not be a tuner, but rather just intercepts various sensors to trick the ecu into putting more fuel into the engine.

 

Just based off that one web page, it's not a product I would plug into my very expensive truck, even if they paid me to do it.

It seems that Whipple has cracked the ECU.

This just out recently. Good news for all:

2020-2023 GM Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500 Truck 6.6L L8T Gas tuning has arrived! DiabloSport has combined their industry exclusive Locksmith device with the required ECM harness, and developed tunes specific to the L8T 6.6L Gas applications. The provided preloaded/preset tunes have shown gains of 28 RWHP and 50 RWTQ over stock, on good 93 octane gas! These are huge gains, that you'll feel when you stomp the go pedal! You can also adjust throttle response, tire size, speed limiter and more!
For those that want numbers thats 429 HP and 514 RWTQ!!! on 93 octane

Just curious would this apply to 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD 6.6 engines ? Also what would change just using regular fuel ?

93 octane is at least 75 cents more per gallon anywhere I have been. 

Part of the beauty of the L8T is that it runs on 87 regular. 

Not to mention the issue with warranty if GM finds you cracked into the ECM (and they will no matter who says otherwise) 

But thats just me and I am old and dont like drama.

No.  2024's use the GM Global B platform so new ECM and encryption.  2020-2023 are GM Global A. 

 

HP has access for the 1500s 2022.5+current which are also Global B, so I'd imagine they will announce support for 2024+ HD in the near future if they haven't already, so HP Tuners would be the only path I know of so far.

I did the program thing all the way to my last new truck. I like to feel I had some control. Eliminating top speed governors, backing off the shift nanny, raising shift points and the premium tune. I didn’t pay for gas so let her rip. That sometimes was the minimum but could be done the first weekend along with exhaust. I drove lots of miles so it helped with boredom. My avalanche I’ve done nothing. Not even exhaust it has a little sound. I only average 18 miles a day with it. The exhaust could still happen. If the engine quits, look out. A 400$ hand held tuner, probably not. That’s a first.

Karnut Thank you for the reply !   I'm not sure I understand your last sentence could you explain .

Thanks

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By jl6690506 · Posted

      对于 8L90 来说，198°F 并不算异常高，所以我认为仅仅是温度并没有造成这个问题。 由于卡车停放几天后一切恢复正常，因此在认定变速箱本身发生故障之前，我会先检查是否存在间歇性的电子或液压控制问题。 我首先会扫描变速箱控制模块（TCM），而不仅仅是发动机控制模块（ECM）。通用汽车的变速箱可以存储厂商特定的故障码或历史故障码，这些故障码不会触发发动机故障灯。 我会检查： TCM历史记录和待处理的DTC 指令装备与实际装备 管路压力 换挡电磁阀状态 液力变矩器离合器（TCC）打滑 变速箱油温 如果再次发生这种情况，请尝试在重新启动点火开关之前捕获数据，因为有些间歇性故障在重新启动后会消失。 使用支持通用汽车变速箱全面诊断的专业扫描工具，这项工作就容易多了。例如，Foxwell NT809BT可以访问变速箱控制模块 (TCM)，读取制造商特定的变速箱故障代码，并显示基本 OBD-II 读取器无法提供的实时变速箱数据： https://www.foxwelldiag.com/products/foxwell-nt809bt 希望只是间歇性的控制问题，但在更换任何部件之前，我肯定会先读取变速箱控制模块（TCM）的数据。

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      The 92-95 SCPI spider injectors are notoriously problematic and hard to source new replacements. I’d pull the intake manifold first to inspect cracked lines and brittle plastic legs before dropping $350 on a rebuild. The 1.5 OBD system only offers limited data, no misfire tracking, which is normal for this 1995 model. Enjoy the project!

      Yea a fluid change is in order here. Honestly, your transmission didn’t even get hot. During the summer in stop and go traffic I’ve seen my 8l80 get up to 216 and it was still shifting smoothly.

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.
