Installed Intune 87 Octane Tune. NIIIIIIICE

I'm going to get a grip now.

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.

I got my tuner.. It says Unknown TCM. I updated it and everything.. What a let down.
Did you guys have to get Diablo support to get you a custom tune?????

I didn't have this problem at all.. Contact Mike at Diablo.

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 .

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%

Cmicasa,

What was your final Diablo tune settings? How's it running? Mileage?

Cmicasa,

87 Octane Tune with Throttle bumped to 20% and RPM shifts changed to 10% Firm and Torque Management back on..

REV LIMITER 0%

THROTTLE up 20%

SHIFT POINTS various different degrees but mostly in the 3-4K range

SPARK TIMING ADVANCE/RETARD- Left Alone

FUEL RICH/LEAN ADJUSTMENT- went up 5% RICHER

CALIBRATE SPEEDOMETER FOR GEAR RATIO- Didn't Touch

ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT- OFF

SHIFT FIRMNESS- Went with FIRM 10%, except from 1-2 where I went with 6%

SPEED LIMITER- Removed

TORQUE MANAGEMENT ADJUSTMENT- Turned on

IDLE RPM- Didn't Touch

CALIBRATE SPEEDOMETER FOR TIRE SIZE- Didn't Touch



Truck runs ultra smooth. Much more responsive and fuel economy overall has been combined 18MPG with about 60% highway driving

Hi there...new guy here. Been reading the forum lately with great interest.

I have an '07 Tahoe 5.3L with about 103K miles. I do quite a bit of towing and also I've noticed an occasional high idle. Wondering if this might fix the problem and I'd like to get rid of the AFM and that dumb speed limiter. Plus the performance gains makes it seem like something fun to do. Like getting a new vehicle almost.

I like the idea of DIY, however I'm trying to weigh it against driving to the next Black Bear tuning event nearest me (in Alexandria, VA). I live in Orlando so it would be a haul but I don't mind a road trip.

Then again if I could come close to replicating a professional tune it's worth saving the travel time. Plus you always have the device to change the programming as necessary.

Thoughts?

Thanks. After doing some reading I think I'm going to order the scan cable tune from Black Bear. I won't have to wait as long or make a long drive up north.

Plus my amateur hands won't be goofing up my engine.

So it says you can use it on other cars just not at the same time. How does that work? Do you just remove the tune from your car unplug and load it onto the new car on as many cars as you want?

 

[Rmayrap]

just bought the intune for my suburban. should have it this friday.

Cmicasa any suggestions for what settings to go with at first or is your current setup the best youve tried?

 

[Rmayrap]

Wtf? Got unknown TCM error. Says to email file to support? Can tune everything except the TCM. Did anyone have this issue?

 

[Nick161024]

What size engine is in your tahoe? I have a 2014 and sounds like I need a tuner.

 

[FLWEvan]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this tune via the InTune Diablo tuner (the one that looks like an old iPhone?)
