2016 5.3 BB tune

fire730 · Jun 30, 2016

I have an 04 with a BB tune and I love the way the truck runs and shifts.

That being said my wife's 2016 Tahoe 6spd is the most annoying vehicle to drive.

Always in the wrong gear & sputters if I take off with less that 3/4 throttle. So basically if I don't beat on it constantly I really have no desire to drive it. Been like that since new and it only has 8 k miles on it.

So will a BB tune help this truck? I'm figuring if it holds a gear for a little longer, a reduction in torque management, and getting rid of the AFM then it might be bearable.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

The shift points are the biggest complaints on these vehicles. With the TCM tuning, we can certainly clean the shifts up, and avoid the "gear hunting".

@BBtunes, When will you guys be doing live tunes in new jersey?

I have my autocal from when you guys tuned my last truck back in 2013, now I have a 2015i ltz and was wondering if I could use the same autocal?

I'm so tempted to get the BB tune on my 16 Yukon with the 5.3 & 3:42 gears. I hate the way it shifts. So JennaBear, is the On Star diagnostics reports I receive monthly affected or notice the tune? I'd love for this to drive and shift like my 01 Silverado with 3:73 gears and 5.3, or better.

Onstar is not affected.

Thanks for the response jenna bear... once I'm ready to do the tune with my autocal would I be able to contact anyone to give me a step by step? I have no idea how to go about it .. I did the live in tune and never used my autocal after that...
