Justin said you might have turned the key off too quickly, if you haven't already try and flash it again.

I tried it 3 times, with all 3 tune files- the original, the first modified one, and this modified file. I will try again and wait longer but I waited for the 15 seconds to count down every time.

Ok, I cleared the DTC’s with the Autocal instead of my Tech2, programmed the TCM, same thing. Then I did that process twice more and on the third time the Autocal actually had the percentage display as it was programming which it never showed before. All the times until now, when I went to program it would say checking, boot loader, erasing, and then when it went to program it would say programming but immediately said “key off”. Anyway, it’s ok now. No more CEL, my PRNDL display is back, no TC/ stabilitrak on the DIC. I’m gonna wait until tomorrow to test drive it, I have to cook ribs now for dinner!

It has a countdown on the display and I let it sit for 15 extra seconds a few times. But it’s ok now!
Then I guess counting slower wouldn’t have helped out in the end...I tried! Lol But glad you got it to finish doing what it had to do! Bet you’re in a better state of mind afterwards

How's that tune treating you Sam?

Ok so I lied. It was sunny for a change so after dinner I took it for its maiden voyage with the new cam. Bad news. It’s still a 4.8. Good news is that it has a lot more power! I didn’t run it too hard, gonna break in the cam and springs but I did rev it up to 4500 rpms or so on a few 1-2 shifts and it feels like it really wants to take off. I’m happy, and Justin said I can send him a data log and he will build a 91+ octane tune and I can see what it does with that on premium. Also I forgot to have him build a sport tune for the tow/haul button especially since I don’t even have a hitch receiver. I’m not sure if he tuned for chop either, it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot.

Yeah I’m never completely happy.

Got a good night shot of the projector logo lights. This is with the truck aired out so the doors are close to the ground.
Looks great!
Current tune seems to be good to go. It is much more responsive, the gear changes are quick and positive.
It always seems to be in the right gear, and also shifts up very quickly, if you’re not putting your foot in it, which of course will save fuel mileage.
And the sport mode...?! Oh hell yeah!! I almost feel like I’m driving a stick, it’s so responsive! Always a flick of my ankle away from a quick pass! [emoji16][emoji83][emoji84]loving the responsiveness of both the engine and transmission! I also noticed the idle was lowered a bit.. almost as if there’s a very mild cam installed.. now, I need to actually add a cam.. [emoji869][emoji106][emoji631][emoji16]

I recorded a 20-minute data file on the Autocal and sent it off to Justin today. I asked for more chop to the idle, a 91+ octane tune and a sport tune for the tow/haul button. I figure it will be awhile so I wanted to get the data in right away and get in line. Maybe now that he’s done with Sams tune he will have some free time....
Excellent, glad it's running great! Curious, how do you switch to sport mode?
OP
OP
Yes, they convert the tow/haul button to sport mode. It affects the shifting different than the way toward/haul does.
I was afraid of that. I would need tow/haul mode occasionally.
