Press and hold the traction control button till the light comes on on the cluster that says t/c off. You have to hold it for about 5 or more seconds and that will allow you to rev it up while holding the brakes. That’s what I did in my 17 Sierra.

You long press it to turn off the stabilitrak...which is not needed to rev with the brake pressed. You only have to turn off the traction control to do that.

You can also lower the Target coolant temps and it adds a couple ponies and makes towing and summer driving more fun. I had one for my L86 before I got headers. still use it as extra Gauges to see when I need more octane with my dyno tune. ENJOY IT!

If you get headers it will give you from anywhere from 25-60 hp more, you’ll also need high temp plug wires, manifold gaskets, and bolts. And while you’re at it oil change

I've never had an issue with my tune on my truck when it comes to warranty. I've had a edge cts after buying my truck brand new and upgraded to a edge cts2 like over a year now and its still under warranty. Dealerships never complain since I would tune it back to stock if I ever had an issue or recall they would have to fix or whatever.

On a factory setting if you press the traction control and keep holding it it turns off the traction control and then a little bit longer eventually you'll see it say stability track turned off at that point your vehicle has full throttle there's no hesitation you can hold the brake and just sit and spin the tires

I just got an 18 off lease. Unless the person that had it before me tuned it, I haven't experienced lag or sluggish driving. In fact, the two times I gave it 3/4 throttle it broke the tires loose and once with 1/4 turning. I haven't had a vehicle with this much power since my '79 C10 with a hot 350 and a 4 speed.

I tuned my 17 Sierra with trifecta. However since I only have the 4.3L V6 LV3, it's a canned tune. It will automatically adjust to fuel grade. I run 91 octane minimum. Have a Airaid intake, straight through high flow muffler, oil catch can. The tune makes a noticable difference. Main reason for tune was I went to 34" tires from the stock 31" and wanted to correct my speedo and offset some of the gearing loss. Definitely happy.

I have a ram 1500 i just bought about 6 months ago. Never been one to fiddle with the engine in my vehicle but i had 2000’s chevys before this with some of the best engines ever made so needless to say i trusted them. Fast forward to my hemi and i love the power and torque it has and everything about it except i didnt trust it because of the MDS and so decided to tune it. Went with the diablosport i3 platinum with the canned tunes did the 87 tune to start. Gonna get 91 next fillup and retune it for that and see how it works. Huge difference already! Might tune every vehicle from now on

A little more data logging and I will be ready to purchase a custom Diablew program. I have taken gas milage from 12.5mpg to 18.5mpg just with canned tunes and basic tune up parts. Very satisfied so far and I have read nothing but good things about the Diablew tunes.

Can this cause any damage to the truck/engine/trans? Also do people keep it in performance mode all the time or do they switch it back and fourth from eco?

@GrimReaping Жыл бұрын
Its a give and take situation. You're applying more HP from the engine to the transmission which is a little more stress on both. However, the stock v4 mode has been known to create issues with the lifters sticking (which causes misfires) and swapping from v4 to v8 makes the transmission shift harder. You can swap between eco tunes and performance tunes as much as you like, but most people stick to one. Most people also modify their vehicles to lean toward one or the other, so swapping between tunes would be kinda pointless.

I have a GMC Sierra 1500 2011, I try to explain to my local mechanic about how shitty it feels to drive my truck in stop and go traffic. I’ve switched to driving the truck in M5, no problem driving the truck on the highway in D or M6, but once I’m in the city… or in a parking lot… The acceleration seems so sluggish. Tired of hearing this is just how the truck is suppose to feel. Because if it was I doubt anyone would continue buying these trucks. Would you suggest a tuner for my situation? Stop and Go traffic is beyond frustrating.

Bout a week later you will get email with the tunes from 5star along with any other tunes that were purchased, load tunes into tuner via computer software, load tune into truck..Enjoy!
