[@christopherdavisson617]

Tuned my 2015 Silverado with a Flashpaq. Worked really well. Ty for the shift points. Very hard info to find. I upped my throttle boost to 20% and my truck had a bit of a rough lag type shift going into third. Lowered it to 16% on the boost and adjusted my shift points to yours basically. Truck is shifting great and its actually a bit quicker than with the boost all the way up. I'm guessing that the higher RPMs have to do with that. So again thanks for the info sir.

[@armandomelgoza8301]

What do you mean by custom tuner what’s the difference?

[@miracleandsons]

Custom tuners will allow a person to write a custom tune and you can upload the tune to your vehicle using the actual tuner.

Why would you consider changing the gear ratio setting if you didnt change gears? Do you know what you are doing?

Don R it’s a setting that adjusts the trans not the actual gears. It gives you a little more on the bottom end and runs a higher rpm up top at cruise

[@jeladsnikpoh1289]

Thank you in advance for replying to my question! I used to have a 2002 Corvette with the Diablosport Predator (not 2) and was able to go into it and manually 'modify' the Diablo tune, like turning up/down fuel, advancing/retarding timing, adjusting actual percentages of the multiple parameters. Does this allow for that, or is it just plug and play, and take whatever tune they deem us worthy (because apparently we're too stupid to improve their tune...)? I do alternative fuel systems, and need to be able to go into the tune and adjust fuel and ignition timing, etc. Have they made this tuna even more 'canned' than the previous Predator? I have a 2003 5.3 Envoy XL with the 4.10s, it's surprisingly quick compared to other 5.3 vehicles I've driven. Thnks.

[@doranmaxwell1755]

One thing confuses me a tad is the shift points. When I am at wide open throttle I want the trans to shift at say 5700 in all the gears but obviously for normal driving I want it to be close to stock settings. The choices do not seem to tell me much I am guessing at this point a guy would just up the value a few notches and take the car out for a test beating?

[@allexaims378]

Man the only thing I don’t like about this tuner is if I don’t have it on stock my auto headlights don’t work 😢 if anyone can help figure this out I’d be grateful! 16 Silverado

[@jordongettings506]

Do all those tunes come on the device out of the box? I bought the SCT X4 and it comes with 1 tune and you have no idea what it's changing. I have bigger wheels and tires, after market intake, and flowmaster super 44 muffler. There is zero settings to tell the X4 that I have any of those. What I heard after buying it is that a custom tune will have those changes. So after paying $400 now I have to pay more to get a customer tune to have those changes put into a tune. Not happy with the X4! 😡😡

[@ozzy5368]

My gripes about this tuner: 1) There's no 91 octane tune (cmon!). 2) You can't adjust your cooling fans. 3) "Diablo" values are meaningless because you don't know what they are. 4) You have to choose one of the listed gear ratios, you can't just type in what you have. 5) You can only choose to increase rev limits, you csn't specify how much...pretty crappy. Note: Yes, the Diablo tune says 91 or 93 octane, but 91 for that tune is for high elevation. It's not a replacement for a 91 octane tune at a normal elevation.

[@miracleandsons]

Stanley Spadowski I agree with you. I had my truck tuned by hp tuners. Way way better response and performance

[@TacomaJD]

What kind of gear ratio could you possibly be running that isn't listed as an option.... .

[@lashaunnelson-jy4ow]

I have 2013 Yukon gmc xl 5.3 I want to increase my mpg should I do 87 or 93 on the tune I just did a DOD delete and rebuild on it

[@miracleandsons]

You can do either but to meet the needs of an economy tune I would run 87. That way the engine isn’t expecting anything higher octane.

I got a yukon denali 2000 with a 5.7L Vortec V8, i bought this tuner and im afraid of applying a tune because it said its for the 5.3L and the 6.0L engines and doesnt mention 5.7L, so if i apply the 6L tune or the 5.3L Tune will it fuck up my ecu? Or engine at worst? Or will their be enough wiggle room? And if it does mess with it, will the stock option return it to my stock settings on my denali or does it use a stock setting thats applied to the tuner based on Liter size of the engine

[@miracleandsons]

TEAM :C: DEATH if you apply a tune to the truck and it’s not compatible with that vehicle it will lock the ecm and prevent the truck from even starting. Contact the manufacturer and confirm if that model number is good with your vehicle. Once you return the tune to stock it’ll go back to normal

[@Syuurp]

Yes

[@Syuurp]

Don’t run 93 tune with a lower octane. Jesus please don’t do that

[@shanejackson6856]

It's best to run your tank down to Empty and fill up with 93 octane before you even consider plugging in the tuner and changing to the 93 tune. You will cause your engine to labor knock with the 87octane fuel, and that is hard on your engine especially if you are heavy with the throttle. Is it going to blow up?? Probably not in normal driving, but why take the chance?

Yes they can. That's if your dealer can prove damage or necessary repairs to your vehicle are the result of your messing with its tuning. The tuner does however save a profile of your original stock tune which is good for two reasons. 1, if you tune and your vehicle starts behaving poorly you can simply return it to the stock tune. 2, if you have to go into the dealer for service you can simply return to the stock tune so it won't raise red flags.
