Has any one put a "chip" in the PU that have the 6.0 eng. Local dealer said it would give about 30 HP. He didn't have the torque #'s or the mpg change. Need a little more git up an go. I have the GMC Denali with the 6.0.

While it's a slightly different version of the 6.0, I had mine tuned, and I can say that 30 hp is probably a good ballpark. Shifts are a TON better and more intuitive as well.

 

Run a couple of searches, there are a wide variety of people who do custom tunes for your truck. Prices ranging from $125-$650...You'll find a wealth of information on the subject here, and see that pretty much everybody says to go with a custom tune instead of a handheld tuner (Hypertech, etc).

I wouldnt even bother with Edit. Look to EFILive or HPT. Edit was great dont get me wrong. But with the way the EFILive and HPT "black-box" is designed to for direct connection of a wideband. You get the ability to add the WBO2 PID into the scanner suite and log it. PLUS you can also use AutoVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might want to check out Diable Sport tuners. I've used one on my PSD Ford X for years with great results.

I like it because you can choose between three different HP/Torque tunes on create a custom one yourself.

 

The one I have comes with 45HP towing, 65HP performance and 125HP racing tune. I run with the performance tune which puts me at about 385HP and 650LBs torgue. It's like an 8000lb jack rabbit. I have a modified air intake but only a 3.5 inch exhaust. I don't want to heat up those tranny temperatures to much.

Nelson. Good service, explains what they are doing.

I talked with others who were either not familiar with some variants of the GM truck familiy or who were misinformed.

Got about 50 hp to the rears with just a tune on stock truck. That's G-tech values, not butt dyno numbers.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By newdude · Posted

      So.  Get this.  On the Chevy regular cab, you can get the factory remote start at the dealer from the accessories catalog.  BUT.  GMC, you can't.   Now...get this...GMC 2 door, you CAN get the power seat.     Go.  Figure.   Anywho.  are you trying to order?  Or locate?  Ordering for 2 door 1/2 tons has been stopped as of April or May?  So you won't be able to order.  You'll have to shop on the ground units or in transit units.     Ordering was stopped because the new trucks are coming.

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.  I really appreciate the well wishes.  I'm an engineer in the telecom industry, I know hardly anything about marketing.  Over the years I did some videos for nonprofits and web sites for small businesses and the seed was planted.  Agree with over-buying, I started shooting on an iPhone before I got my first DSLR and tripod.   I'm looking at trucks with potentially 150,000+ miles to keep the cost of entry low while focusing on the client experience and equipment.  Good wireless mics for interviews, the right lenses & lighting to look professional.  But I don't want to be late or break down, the stress of emptying a trailer & securing a rental truck right before a gig would negate any savings from buying a junker.  So anything that leaks water, has extensive rust, or generally unreliable I'd like to avoid.   Does GM/Chevy overbuild these trucks for upfitting?  I talked to a local upfitter, they sometimes tie lights & other 12V into existing circuits, which I always thought was bad.  Which is why I enjoyed the AUX upfit switches on previous trucks (odd they mostly come with off-road or work truck packages).

      GM's are stainless and have a fairly robust powder coating, although, still not worth $850 in my opinion. They will hold up a lot better than their cheaper steel aftermarket counterparts.   What I like about the GM step bars is dealers will often equip their dealer stock with them. Lots of margin. Which means a lot of people end up buying them because they're already on the truck, even if they don't like them. So it's pretty easy to find brand new takeoffs with hardware on Marketplace and Craigslist for about $250.   That's what I did for my crew cab. I wanted ZR2 rock rails for the look, but with the ability to bolt up GM's assist step package. From GM it's about a $2500 accessory all in. The old folks in my life can't get in the truck without steps. I found the whole package on marketplace for $180.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am really glad I found this post and this site... We have a 2022 1500 refresh LTZ that has these problems: - forward collision avoidance warning light - lane keep assist unavailable - adaptive cruise control unavailable   The truck was bought as a new leftover in 2023, so it was still under the 3/36 B to B when it went in for these problems earlier this year. It has been at the dealer on and off now for about 110 days now. These are some of the things they have done that I can read on the service tickets. - replace/add ground straps (4) - check all battery cables and vlts - replace serial data gateway module - replace front view camera - numerous reprogramming - a few calibrations (apparently ending with 'learned') Last week when I had it back the truck had those 3 warnings every time we used it except for 3 times. On three separate occasions the truck started and ran perfectly with no (zero) warning messages or warning lights lit - everything worked perfectly. Over that same time period the truck did not work on every other 'key' cycle which I would estimate at 60+ cycles. On those estimated 57 cycles it had the same 3 problems each and every time.   It is back at the dealer now - can anyone help at all with what the true problem might be?  Or possibly what can be ruled out leaving a lower number of possibilities? Thank you very much for any help you may be able to supply....
