    Anyone got the Black Bear AutoCal kit?

    At the risk of earning a reputation as a cheapo tight-a$$ i just have to ask: anyone have the hardware for the tune? Shannon at BB volunteered that the device can be re-used if i pay a new licensing and tuning fee, $400 total. Anyone for a tuning party in the PNW?

    "Marbles in tin can" sound after installing K&N Intake

    Running on K&N the past two days, 6.2L 2013, When the motor is cold, rolling on/off the throttle at low load/low RPN, I'm now getting a gentle-but-definitely-there noise. I want to keep anything else from breaking. Anyone know of this issue or where I should begin my research online or else...

    Black Bear Tune: cold feet

    Obviously I'm late/early for the last/next sale, and it's not a truly small issue for me. Anyone have advice to help me pull the trigger other than "Just do it!"? 2013 Denali, 6.2L, stock except for K&N intake (was going to be my only mod). 79k miles. And do I understand correctly that if I...

    Finally Installed K&N CAI in 6.2

    [Before/After videos are on their way, but not worth waiting for, as the kid who started it for me to film couldn't take his foot off the pedal after the swap] Finally swapped the stock for the K&N today. Noticed: 1. Slightly better sound at startup/idle, a wee bit grunt-ier, but not a...

    Intraforum marketplace?

    Is there somewhere to post wanted and for sale items? I don't want to break any rules or, worse, step on the toes of our valuable Preferred Vendors. For example, I have a pair of perfectly good OEM fog lamp housings and bulbs, and would like to give them away for the cost of shipping only.

    TYF Ate my Thread (Cheapest DOD/AFM delete option is...?)

    Somehow I started a thread, which some of you took the time to respond to, re DOD delete. I can't find your replies anymore, so let me re-inquire in as few words as possible: is ~$500 really the most affordable fix? That was the price for the unit which plugs into the OBDII and must remain...

    Very happy I found this forum

    Everyone here has been super helpful since I stopped lurking to do some posting, and it has made me feel really welcome. Nobody has treated me like I'm a newb (both here and to Chevys) but has taken the time to invest in my success. Information, warnings, encouragement, opinions, links, and even...

    How much extra power can one make without unwanted wear?

    I read someone with a 6.2 who got a Black Bear tune, not much else. Maybe CAI, exhaust as well? Regardless, he wrote that he had to start replacing motor mounts frequently, as the was too much torque hitting the chassis. I don't want to use a single stranger's story as my guide, so let me ask...

    Looking to lower power steering boost

    I love almost everything about my '13 Yukon Denali 6.2 EXCEPT for the power steering---it is SO light to the touch in my large, heavy hands. It is shocking how little feedback there is through the wheel, and from what I've been reading, this is by design. I find myself fearing to even look out...

    Shorty Headers on 2013 6.2L - yea or nay?

    As with the CAI question in my previous post, I'm looking only for sound/performance gains on the street. Shorty headers seem like a fairly easy bolt-on, though too pricey for me if there's no real benefit. I have not disabled the dynamic cylinder shut-off, if that makes a difference. Thanks...

    Cold Air Intake (CAI) on 2013 6.2L - worth doing?

    I've long been skeptical of CAIs and what sound/performance benefits they give, if any. I'm uninterested in bling, I'm going for pure performance-related gains. I like a deeper intake sound and some street-RPM power gains would be very welcome. What have all your experiences been like on the 6.2?

    Key Fob Learning - DIC won't give option to learn - 2013 Yukon Denali

    Been researching this a lot, ran into a problem I haven't yet seen: 1. Turn key to ON position (tried this both without starting engine and while engine was running - with identical results each way) 2. Press DIC Info button looking for "Learn Key" or whatever the option is - option not given...
