All you need to do is contact Justin. He has ECM/TCM's waiting for you. It is $160 for the ECM and I believe 60 for the TCM. That is just about as cheap as you will find them. You might get lucky on ebay, but then you don't know for sure what you are getting either.

 

You will love your tune!

I imagine he could, but you would have to double check with him. The magna charger may come with a program to tune your truck. Email Justin, he is a great guy and will gladly answer all your questions.

I believe so, just need to pay shipping to/from him for the re-tunes.

 

Looks like you're on your way Eric :sigh:

Definitely buy them from Justin. You won't find them cheaper, and he was telling me he doesn't really make any money of the modules at all. I'd be a little weary if someone is trying to sell them for cheaper than he is.

 

I can't say enough positives about Justin, he's been great to work with, and will always answer any questions you have.

:sigh: Well said.

 

I felt good buying my ECM/TCM from Justin, figuring Justin would get me the right ones. Knowing my luck, i'd find a cheap one on eBay, and it wouldn't work. :lol:

Remember you'll need to have a crank relearn performed when you install the new modules.

You can do the security relearn for the new modules yourself. Justin mails instructions with the ECM/TCM to tell you how to do that.

 

The trick is sometimes you'll need a crank relearn also. Your SEL light will be on after your security re-learn to tell you that. You just need someone with a Tech II and they can do it for you. Most shops with them will do it. Justin said some places can charge as much as $40 for it, which is a ripoff seeing as how it takes 30 seconds to do, but it will need to be done.

 

If you get a live tune with Justin, he'll take care of it for you.

Or find someone local who has HP Tuners or EFI Live. Or wait for the EFI Live Autocal to come out, it will have the capability too.

 

Again, ask Justin about this.

You are correct, I don't really make any money on them. I do purchase them for a bit cheaper than I sell them for, however about 1 in 4 ends up being damaged by a parts puller that doesn't know how to unlock the harness. :lol:

 

Once I get a better ratio of good to bad, I'll be able to lower prices a bit on them.

I inquired with EFILive a couple days ago about the availability of the AutoCal. I got a response tonight. Paul Blackmore said it would begin field testing around March. No telling when that would be complete nor the target price. But it would naturally be cheaper than the V2 Flash Scan

Ryan,

 

If you don't mind, can you PM me of what did you have Justin tuned your truck for. I'm going up there next month (dallas) to tune my truck. I want more HP and can he fine tune the tranmission (smoothly). My truck is basicly stock (just Magnaflow exhust added).

 

Thx for your info.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
