@@itstrilogygames2418 I called Diablo and talked to them. A 2008 dosen't require anything extra. Just plug and play. Been running the 93 tune since I posted this question. Very happy with it
Just wanted to say thanks for sharing and if you have time and it's worth the effort maybe do a fellow up with any tips or quirks you've noticed. 🥃 cheers 🍻
Ive had trouble buying used tuner pacs like this before where it wouldnt allow me to run it on my truck it was linked to the original owners vin and i could never get it to work on my truck
Hey man, can you do a video showing the increments with the idle control? I want to raise my idle RPM and would like to see how they go about doing that.
Great review! I would be more weary of used though, when dealing with vehicle programing and the cost of a new tuner vs. the cost of problematic truck I'd opt for spending the extra 150.
@shiftinggears7860 have had my Diablo since November 2023. Works great. I think the mpg is better using the Diablo. When coasting my mpg goes up to 99mpg like normal. With the Range it only went up to about 87mpg. So there is a difference for some reason.
I HEAR IT MENTIONED THAT THE RADIO SHOULD NOT BE ON OR EVEN TO REMOVE THE FUSE FOR THE RADIO BEFORE USING TUNER??? WHY IS THAT NOT MENTIONED IN PAMPHLET????
Because the instructions are almost useless and calling tech support is even worse. Have all accessories off, and you only have to disconnect the stereo if it's not stock. If its stock don't worry about it. Also it won't work on 99 to 2005 GMC/Chevs if the cigarette lighter fuse is blown. I found that out the hard way.
Based on the tune that you select you need to run that octane of fuel. now obviously if that octane is not available at your local pump i would advise selecting a tune that is!
IF IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO UPDATE THE DEVICE EVERY TIME YOU USE IT, WHY IS THAT NIT THE FIRST THING ADDRESS IN IT??? HOW ONE IS SUPPOSED TO GO INTO THEIR COMPUTER TO UPDATE IT , WHY IS IT NOT CLEARLY EXPLAINED ON HOW TO DO IT??? I HAVE USED THE DEVICE SEVERAL TIMES AND NOT SEEN SEVERAL OF THE SCREEN???
Man.. I was looking for a way to see if my '01 Silverado had the stock tune and you showed me the way at around 0:40 , Thanks!
Great video 💪🏽😃
Man I loved the video. Wish I would have known I was gonna have to unhook my aftermarket radio and remote start.
We’re you able to get your radio back working? Or did u have to get a new one?

did you not read the instructions? in the quick start guide it litterally says to remove aftermarket items like alrams, radios and remote starts
@@suspiciousninja1220 no smart azz it didn't say that on amazon and I called and didn't have to unhook anything. That's for yrs below 2007
Judging on these comments you can really tell people have not watched the video lol.

Why would you buy used 😂
Any update on the Diablew tune?
Can you go thru the torque management and see if you can reduce it and not totally disable it?
I know I’m late to this comment but I want to know this aswell
How much hp did you gain
Hey man, can you do a video showing the increments with the idle control? I want to raise my idle RPM and would like to see how they go about doing that.
I was also curious about what can be done with that ..
@@postalaka its by increments of 50

ehh you cannot hurt this tuner as long as it isnt married to a previous vin
Do you have to have it plugged in at all times
No
Is there any difference between turning off the afm with this Diablo tuner or using a Range afm disabler ?
no different i just do not have to live with something plugged into the OBD2 port every day

its just to protect the car from the battery dying mid flash. not a big deal. dont worry its not that big of a deal
Do I have to put the octane that it’s saying or can you put regular gas and the octane is just a name for it?
Based on the tune that you select you need to run that octane of fuel. now obviously if that octane is not available at your local pump i would advise selecting a tune that is!
Can you adjust speedometer limiter?
Yeah
does your cooling fan come on cause of the tuner ?
it can yes. but once you do a drive cycle it relaxes back to normal
does firm shift better for the 6l80 for reliability?
i prefered the stock trans file. i did not like the firm shift for every day driving
Can you adjust rev limiter or is it all or nothing?
nah you cannot. which is probably for the best
So yo can only use the 87 octane option if thats all you use , also can it diagnose transmission?
yes, if you choose the 87 octane tune....than thats all you use. and yes it can read codes but diagnosing is what technicains do
Can it turn of the afm
Yes
Dumba$$.... watch the video biden loving idiot

ehh its really not that big of an issue. if you can update it great if not. theirs very very small changes between software versions. you will be fine
