I know it has been discussed ad naseum on other forums and even Diablosport says so...but from what I see, as long as you take the tune off prior to a dealership visit for engine or transmission related warranty work...the consensus is that you will be fine, correct? This is the first vehicle I've had and intend to keep a factory warranty on, but this dead gas pedal feeling is not going to fly much longer. Not looking for much, just what I will get from a canned tune. Thanks guys.

OK I was able to do the ECM tune but not the transmission. They say I have to wait for an update. So I only half tuned my truck. Def see the difference in the throttle response. I set it @ 10% on the 87oct tune. Im going to run all the 87 out and then Ill switch to 93.. then we can see what this truck can really do.

But should I wait until Diablo decides they want to do an update for my truck or return it and try another tuner??? Please help. I like the fact that I can put it back to stock if I want. Are there any other tuner out there that offer this type of experience..
Thanks for all the help everyone.

Saw your post at the diablo forum. Is it an 2015i ? Just wondering if that's the difference. I have had no issue with doing my Yukon or Stingray, except when I originally did the Yukon it's "ON" setting would time out before the tune was done. I realized I was only tapping the ignition switch and not holding it in so it stayed on. Had it been a regular key ignition I would have turned it to that position with no issue. Live and learn

No its a 2015....No i
I was worried about the ignition too....but it stayed on the whole time with just a single tap of the ON/OFF push button.
I have been emailing with them.. Thanks for all the help.

How is the life span of the trans affected without TM?

I dunno.. I actually turned it back on when I put the 87 Octane tune back in the other day after realizing that I was losing out on the $1.89 gas bubble currently going on for a few more HP that I will never use :chair:.

Lo and Behold.. the vehicle actually feels quicker with the 87 Octane Tune with Throttle bumped to 20% and RPM shifts changed to 10% Firm and TM back on.. than it did with the Diablo Tune with the same changes except throttle at 17%
