Just purchased a Superchips. Change my tire size and set it to the 87 octane tune. This really helpped out with my transmission shifting. It has never shifted right at around 40 mph. Now it seems to shift really well. Does anyone have exprience with the 87 and 91 octane tune? Is doing the 91 tune worth the extra $ is gas? Does anyone have any good or bad experiences doing the 87 or 91 tunes?

After lifting my truck and putting 35s on it, I decided to buy the superchips to program the tire change. Obviously, with 35s I am not doing much drag racing, so the 91 octane tune did not interest me (91 octane is still around 2.20 a gallon her in San Diego). So, I installed the 87 tune. I tell you what, it now drives like a different truck. It is quicker off the line and shifts very nice. I love it! I know the westers or nelson tunes probably offer more performance, but for a tire change and shift points I decided the superchips was enough for me. It has worked out great for me!

My truck seems to run really nice now also. The transmission alway seemed to the be in two high of a gear at aroung 40-45. The only way it seem to shift right was in 3 instead of D. I was tired of switching it back and forth when I went from city streets to highway and the 87 tune seems to fix it very nicely.

I have an O3, with a 6" lift and 35's. I bought the Superchips power programer and couldn't be happier. I get better mileage than stock with the 87 octane tune. I changed my shift points and speedo and it runs like a champ. The 91 octane tune isn't worth dumping the $ for 91 octane. It's not really that much faster between the to.

      I included the first gen-cylinder de-activation (active fuel management) in my statement.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
