AFM delete / Tuner for 2011 Yukon Denali 6.2 Question

[gooffeyguy]

I know when I bought it I was reading up on the Diablosport forum and he was saying that he doesn't do any changes/tuning to the E85 tables in his tunes

 

[gooffeyguy]

Take it up with Lew at Diablosport. I know better than to argue with morons on the internet.

Oh, so I guess I'm a moron?

I don’t know you well enough to make that claim, but if the shoe fits Cinderella…

 

[gooffeyguy]

Wow, WTF is your problem, or maybe you just need to grow the **** up a bit more

 

[Snowbound]

Not to stick my nose in where it don’t belong but I think Diablo is saying they don’t have tables to adjust the tunes for E85. Meaning the tables stay stock. So your both right.

As far as the AFM, tuning aside, I would completely delete the system. Cam and lifter swap and get a new non-AFM valley cover. Them lifters are a ticking time bomb. I’ve done more than a few.

Agreed, my mommy agrees too.

Agreed, my mommy agrees too.

Agreed with sticking my nose where it don’t belong or with they don’t have tables to adjust so they stay stock? I’d favor the latter. Lol.

 

[CaptainAmerica1]

All I had to go on was what Lew told me. Maybe his custom tune didn’t have any e85 fuel maps? Perhaps the canned tunes run just fine with e85? Maybe Lew didn’t check my specs before responding to my inquiry? Goofy is still a douche…

Not to stick my nose in where it don’t belong but I think Diablo is saying they don’t have tables to adjust the tunes for E85. Meaning the tables stay stock. So Goofeyguy is right and CaptainPrick1 is wrong.

Exactly, spark and fueling are handled separately for E85 on flex fuel calibrations. Diablosport doesn't do anything with these on our vehicles so the factory GM E85 cals are used.

Lew and Diablosport can't do anything with them.

That doesn't mean that you can't run E85 with a Diablosport tuner, or as CaptainPrick1 said, that you'll lose the Flex Fuel capability. Which is false.

 

[gooffeyguy]

That's me, and old douche who was right

It was my understanding that yes, the E85 tables are still there but you don’t have the ability to adjust those tables with the DiabloSport. But I never used that tuner so that’s just me ASSUMING from what I’ve read.
But I don’t have a dog in this fight. I just wanted to say that I would swap the AFM stuff out because they are a bad design.

 

[CaptainAmerica1]

Ignored

 

[CaptainAmerica1]

I asked the man that wrote the tune.

 

[kbuskill]

Just to further muddy the waters...

My truck is running a custom tune by Lew and it works just fine on E85.

Lew is hard to get a straight, understandable, answer out of because he is so busy.

I went back and forth with him on this same E85 question before I was finally satisfied with his explanation.

As others have mentioned, he has no way to adjust the E85 tables but they are still functional within his custom tune.

For the record, I always hate to see productive members of a forum come to blows over something so trivial.

 

[CaptainAmerica1]

He’ll get over it.

 

[gooffeyguy]

I didn't start the fire
