BlackBear Tune

[GMC08YUKON]

From what i have read this is the way to tune your ride. So i have a couple questions for you guys that have the BB tune....Does it void your warranty if you have any problems with your vehicle? How does it work how do you program a tune to your vehicle? What is the price of it? And can you only have 1 tune at a time or is there a way to switch between an economy tune and a performance tune? Thanks for the help.

check out blackbearperformance.com.... it is the best for the money upgrade I think I have ever got out of a vehicle...my hoe is fiiiiizzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaassssssssssssttttttttttt

No it wont void your warranty unless the dealer finds out about it, which is slim to non if you leave the tune in. what i did was buy extra ecm/tcm and had that tuned and if i ever had warranty work then i can swap it back to factory in about 5 seconds

justin can explain more, but basically an in person tune he rides with you and asks you how you like different options you go from there.

check the website

im sure you can have more, but you would need to purchase the extra ecm/tcm and im sure it would be more to tune each one. i would just stick with one good tune and youll be fine

From what I understand, if you dont want to purchase the stoc tune with the extra ECM at the time of the tune, you can order one down the road. And again, if I understand this correctly, Justin keep of file of your vehicle in his computer, so He has all your stock perameters. This makes it easy to reload your individual stock perameters back onto an ECM... LOL, I hope that info is correct.

If you don't have an extra one, when you take it in for work you just make sure to tell them not to flash your pcm. Otherwise the dealer may put it back to stock.

That would be a horrible thing... catastrophic.

I totally agree!

 

[jee123]

just the truth!!!!

Just tuned hours ago... I posted in the blackbear section. ******* Amazing!!! WOW....WOW....WOW.... best tune out there!

 

[UofMZ71]

hell yeah its fast!

chirped the tires the other day - was turning a little but still - and no wet pavement either!

I had him make the tow/haul option a sport tune. Let me tell you what; the shifts are snappy at 5900 RPM, and it just pulls hard all the way through. Absolutely amazing

 

[jee123]

its funny to have the little tow light on while ripping up the pavement...lmao

I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the other thread but I just installed my Blackbear tuned modules this weekend and all I can say is WOW! I love it! I wasn't able to do it in person so I filled out the questionaire online and got the modules in the mail. The install was easy and the truck runs great however, now the check engine light is on. This happen to anyone else? If so, what's the remedy?

did u do the relearn? shot in the dark, but that might be the prob?

 

[Rich E]

Yeah I did the relearn. I had to, the truck wouldn't start until I did.

I have an email to Justin and I'm waiting for a response, just thought I'd ask around here first.

 

[viximaging]

I am just going out on a limb here... I have always had all my cars dyno tuned specifically.. Whats the difference with BB? I was going to try them out for my Kon cuz seems like hes great with them.

Just wondering why noone jumps on a dyno and gets tuned? What if you have a cam and stuff? How can a mail order tune be spot on? I understand the in person tunes, thats a street tune but mail order is just crazy to me

 

[Rich E]

To be honest, I wasn't looking to create more power, just increase driveability. The stock truck is kind of a pig. With the Blackbear tune, the higher revs, firmer shifts and reduced torque management make the truck way more responsive and just more fun to drive. If you do have mods, I have a cold air intake and cat-back exhaust, Justin can tailor the tune around them.

I had a supercharger, headers, ported LS2 TB, exhaust, intake, blah blah, and justin (BB) tuned the truck without seeing it. Ran perfect.
