Blackbear Midwest Group Tune


Recommended Posts

Posted

OK, Let's organize a group tune with Justin at Blackbear Performance for the Minnesota area (Minneapolis/St Paul).

 

Justin will travel for a group tune with at least 10 people committing and are willing to put down a $50 deposit.

 

Jenna, could you please fill us in on any more details and requirements. i.e. ECM/TCM prices, etc.

 

Count me in as #1.

 

Please note any preferred dates or dates that will not work for you. I am wide open for any weekend date.

Possibility for me...

 

My thoughts of locations (if we're including the rest of the "Midwest"): Des Moines (IA), Quad Cities (Davenport, IA), Dubuque (IA), Albert Lea (MN), Rochester (MN) - just thinking of a 'central' location, I'm cool with the TC too.

 

I haven't contact Justin before, so I'll need more info: which type of tune to go with (can you do a dual-tune, 89/93 octane), total cost is $200 right, how much TM to remove, etc.

 

Dates/Weekends for me: Oct 31/Nov1, Nov7-8, Nov14-15, Dec5-6, Dec19-20.

As posted, Justin will need at least 10+ confirmed (with deposits) tunes. We ask that you guys come up with a weekend (hopefully one that is not snowy and icy), sometime in the November time frame. I will check back in frequently to answer questions and to check on dates. As soon as a date is set, I will post up time slots for the weekend for your choosing.

 

The tunes will all be street tunes, and Justin will spend ~1 hr with each customer tuning their vehicle. The price for the tunes will be $200 (price is good through November). For those of you who are wanting to keep your stock cores, they will need to be purchased ahead of time, so Justin can ship them out to you to save time on doing the security relearn during the tuning.

 

The core charge prices are as follows:

$100 - Gen-III

$60 - 96-00 Vortec

$160 ECM / $60 TCM - Gen-IV Trucks and SUVs

 

We also sell e-fan harnesses (4 different harness configurations available, which will cover all 05+ Tahoe fans and LS1 style fans) and overdrive alternator pullies (to help with idle amperage). If you are interested in either of those, please let us know before hand as well so we can get those to you before Justin arrives.

Prices are as follows:

$105 for harness with pulley (shipped)

$89 just harness (shipped)

$30 for just pulley (shipped)

 

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Bump...

 

Mods, could this be made into a sticky?

 

With your avatar (the one during the time of this quotation) it should be easy enough! :cheers:

Thanks for the info Jenna, here are some questions (or should I go ahead and email Justin?)...

 

- Updates are free, correct, I would just have to pay shipping (one way or both?); I was wondering because I plan on getting a Flowmaster exhaust in the near future & Volant CAI (truck is stock right now)

 

- Do you do dual-tunes? (I mostly run 89 octane, but occasionally step up to the 91/93 octane for performance, but not very often)

 

- Is a Security Relearn & Crank Relearn the same?

No, a security relearn can be done without any tools/software. It is just a process you need to go through to get your truck to "accept" your new computers and start up. It takes 3 cycles of about 10 mins each. That is why they prefer to have that done ahead of time. Otherwise it would waste 30 mins before even being able to start your truck to tune it.

 

Crank Relearn takes about 1 minute, but requires hardware/software.

X2 sometimes it can take over 45 mins to get this done and would take away from time for other customers there.

I could probably do it sometime in November, depending where it is. Twin Cities is only 4 hr drive for me.

 

Maybe I need to email privately also, but what do you guys do with E85? I run it 99% of the time. But there are times when I don't. When I visit my parents, it is hard to find E85 close to them.

 

Thanks.

Depending on when and where I'm in also, I'm only an hour away from Minneapolis. I'll wait for more details.

    • Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.
    • Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.
    • Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.
    • Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
