Went out this morning to change my oil, and I heard the mailman drive up. So I checked out front, and sure enough my tune had showed. So I finished up the oil, and popped int he new computer.

 

First thing I noticed was the change oil light is now coming on for the first 20 second or so after I start it up. I am wondering if this is because I just changed the oil, or because of the new PCM. ideas? I also assume that I can clear this on my own...how do I do it? IS there a way to set the light so it comes on at 3000 miles, or does it just pick up on when the oil is dirty? cause its not right now!

 

I only drove to get a cup of coffee down the street, but i took the long way around and was happy with the results. If you stomp on the gas while cruising 30-40 mph it nor reacts quick and accelerates liek a bat out of hell. I took a slight turn and nailed it and the tires immediately broke loose and spun for a good 10 seconds while accelerating.

 

Off the line it helped, and is defintely more responsive than before, but its still a heavy truck and doesn't jump off the line.

 

I ended up getting the 93 octane tune and told Jesse to remove a smuch TM as possible without loosing reliabilty for towing, and I explained to him this is my DD/ tow rig.

the change oil light is just from the new pcm and your owners manual tells you how to reset it somthing like key on stomp the gas 3 times then key off and ur done

 

as far as setting it to light up at certain times well thats what gm did but its a complex system so ur outta luck but the normal settings seem to work great for me

 

 

hope this helps :confused:

great! thanks for the help, gotta find my manual now. SO do you wai ttil the light come son to change the oil? Because I bought the truck from my dad about 2500 miles ago, he had the oil changed 3000 ago, but the light never came on, i just changed it at the 3000 interval. When shoudl the light come on?

ive found out that the light can come on at anytime i think its based on engine data and not distance

 

i usally never go past about 4000 or so but i do mostly hwy and some towing

just watch your oil and you will learn when the best time for you to change it

 

i will remind ya that when you do your oilchange reset the change eng oil light even if its not on so the system can see that its new oil

 

 

hope all this helps

 

 

BTW how do u like your tune??

 

in waitin on mine now

3500-

 

thanks for the advice. Its reset now, i did it this morning...but i'll make sure to reset even if its not on when i change it again.

 

The tune is great. I am really liking the extra power. Really wakes the truck up. I have hammered it a couple times and smoked the tires pretty good. the shifts aren't too firm, and are still pretty soft compared to some other automatic vehicles i have had tuned. But its preety impressive what a littl e computer work will do for the truck. I thought i read the tune gets better as it learns the truck. that was the case on my t-bird...took a couple hundred miles but it ran really good after it learned the car.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
