Dude thank god for you you saved my life. I was messing around with the tuner and couldn’t figure out what I got wrong until I heard u mention the dod afm and what that meant for my problem which was only 4 cylinders firing
if you turn off torque limiting, will it burn rubber from a standing start? One of the disappointing things about post 2000 vehicles is little low end torque. I miss the 50s and 60s muscle cars.
Traction control will also limit tire spin on a hard launch so try and turn it off . On my 09 if I turn it off it will spin the tires from a dead stop both of them being it has a limited slip and 3:42 gears plus it's a crew cab but I agree low end torque could be better but with the stock tune that's not going to happen . My old 71 Dodge utility line which Chevy and Ford call a short box with a mild build 440 with a 727 trans and a 3:55 sure grip in the back with 11 inch wide tires on the back will smoke the back tires at a 30 mph roll on lol but then again it's making 500 HP and well over 500ftlbs of torque down in the 4,000- 6,500 range with 9:5:1 compression on pump gas with old 906 iron heads that have had some work done to them . The other thing you have to remember is these newer trucks are quite a bit heavier than the old ones were especially the 1/2 tons I noticed compared to my old Dodge and my 82 Chevrolet square body.
@@peteloomis8456 My '05 Silverado doesn't seem to have traction control. On a particular hill with a stop sign, if it's raining and I start up that hill too fast, the tires will spin because the road is slick. I've been reading on truck forums that the Vortec 6 liter engine doesn't have all that much low end torque. Seems an odd choice for a truck with a trailer towing package. The thing I was comparing to was a rental Ford F450 from Home Depot about ten years ago. I was shocked at how fast that truck lurched forward and spun the tires.
The tune is in when first loaded up but the more you drive and how you drive after you tune it makes big difference. Its gets better as you drive. I have same tuner but on 15 6.2 8 speed Denali Sierra.
Thanks for the tune video. I've been looking at tuners. Your video helped a ton! You covered most all the questions I had. Thanks again & keep up the good work!!
My 2011 Sierra LC9 run 0-60 in 3.1 sec, tops out at 213mph stock. My secret mod for the 572 rear wheel hp is that I use rainx wipers with light weight windshield washer fluid topped off with super white low beam bulbs. My truck is pretty much the Best I know it, but I don't want to waste my breath here Man I simply need to make absolutely certain you're aware of my trucks brutal dominance, I'm going to need to hear it from you along with 1000 dollars because that's what everyone is doing and it'd be the right thing to do 😎🇺🇸👍
@Nippsta Collins sounds like a setup I use often, but the UR MOM setting comes with longer strokes, loud knocking and sometimes exhaust back fire from prolonged use of setting. It's a dirty job but I'm definitely the Mothafvker who can handle that setup
I installed long tube headers on my truck along with a cold air intake ..check engine light on since no secondary o2s ..running like shit imo can something like this help me out ..
Did you get it tuned when you modded your trucks exaust and intake? I mean your changing fuel air ratios and things that your trucks ecu isnt programmed for to start with you should have went straight to the tune shop...probably why its running like trash and changing out the 02's aint gonna do shit cause the ecu is getting wrong inputs
@@aprildickerson2065 my local tuning shop has been closed due to covid I’m not driving my truck anymore just the time around the bloc ..never mentioned swapping o2s to try to solve the issue ..I know the truck has to be dyno tuned ..I was simply asking if this tuner could help out in the meantime
In my case it is a 74 C10 with LS drivetrain (engine trans) mine is pre active management 5.3 GMC The Truck only weighs 3200 lbs so is pretty 'peppy' lol as is. I bought one of these for ,my 2014 charger cop car 5.7 and it worked great. I just ran the pre made 93 program Does this thing tell me like fuel air ratio etc?
So if you have aftermarket remote start do you need to disconnect before tuning? And if you do disconnect and tune, will there be a problem where you have to reprogram remote start after tuning?
Did you abs light happen to come on and stay on after you used the tune on your truck? Because mine did as soon as i did the 87 octane tune and i dont know how to get it to go away?
Good day sir I have a 2009 Chevy Tahoe 2 Wheel Dr. 5.3 I put a brand new motor in this vehicle two weeks ago it has a supercharger Procop supercharger bigger injectors they came with the set and I also have the Diablo sport tuner I bought this vehicle from a family friend and I don’t know how to use the tuner I’m scared to change anything in the vehicle but it runs really really rich can you point me in any directions thank you very much Michael US military
I have a ShiftPower throttle response. It just plugs in at the gas pedal. Do i need to remove it before using the Diablo tuner ? And i heard that the torque management ahould be left on cuz these transmissions dont like the toque management off.
O2 sensors should compensate for that but I'm sure the tune that Diablo sport puts in also upped the fuel curves where needed and not needed so throttle response is crisp and responsive and where needed extra fuel for more HP.
Just to be safe i would disconnect the remote wire, and the power off the battery just ti be safe.... thats an expensive fuck up of something bad happens
I bout a 07 mustang gt with a tune and at the time I didn’t know you needed the tuner with the car so I got a tuned car with no tuner what do I need to do to fix it where I can tune my car myself I’m completely screwed is what everyone tells me please if you can help lmk ty
I have a chevy avalanche 2009 stock with just Y pipe Straight pipes , i don’t understand enough about tunes and tuners , can you give me a explanation on what i can do or get to get a upgrade like this for performance
Yes. I have 2014 gmc with 5.3 eco. I have Diablo flex tune. Afm shut off. Idle at park set up another 100 rpm. Speedometer fix bc I have bigger tires. Speed limiter off. And throttle response at 15. Modified stock trans tune with torque management off
You said something about turning off aftermarket things when tuning. I have subs, amp, an aftermarket radio and aftermarket speakers in my truck. Do I need to disconnect everything before tuning my truck??
Up The Creek I ordered the diablo i3 tuner since my truck has an issue when I’m at a light or stopped in drive my rpm goes from 500 rpm to 550 to 460ish rpm and when it goes down it makes the engine hesitate. What would be a safe rpm to set my tuner at idle? 600 rpm or a little higher? Thanks will receive the tuner Tuesday 2008 Silverado 5.3
Kaleb Hill I ended up changing the idle rpms to 600-650 I honestly don’t remember but ever since then I never had the low rpm at idle issue. I sold the truck a while back but yeah I recommend to do that if I were you
Hey man, im gonna do headers (i have a cai now) im hoping to make 300whp on my truck, should i buy a diablo tuner or should i get a professional tuner to do it? Its an 05 z71 single cab stepside, so i want it to be a little steet machine lol
What did you end up doing? If you got the Diablo tuner how do you like it? I have a 2015 Silverado with Borla ATAK exhaust and a K&N CAI, and I’m wondering if I should get this tuner or not. If I were to get the tune I would just turn off AFM and run 87 Octane.
@@matthews4071 i havent done anything yet but id take it to a tuner, i live in nj and theres a few good shops in the state, theyll get more power out of the truck, its so worth it, it makes night and day difference, better mpg, more hp, better response time. Just better overrall Also my truck is currently getting a ton of hail damage out right now, and then its going in for frame repair and repaint!!!
2013 ram1500 8spd. This didnt work. Did all the updates on a pc before I got started, followed instructions. After connecting it started initial pcm backup and failed.

It put an error code on my dash and rendered the truck useless. Disconnected battery in Hope's of reversing things but no good.

Displacement on demand
AFM- Active Fuel Management
Thank you
What is the link to the description of the Diablo doing? You know?
Finally an articulate review. Some of those other reviews are meaningless.
Agree 100%
The guy from Boston was sorta helpful..

So if you have aftermarket remote start do you need to disconnect before tuning? And if you do disconnect and tune, will there be a problem where you have to reprogram remote start after tuning?
I thought the tune had to read parameters from your ECU awhile and it took about 100 miles to get the full benefits?
Did you do the update on it before connecting it the truck? Mine asked to update before install
Planning on doing this same delete. So I don’t need to worry about changing the cam and lifters or the oil valley cover?
Will this work in a 99 Silverado 4.8? Worth doing? Need the trans tune for sure
@BTGPerformance When you installed the tune did you happen to have a remote start security system installed? Did that cause problem like the stereo?
Did you abs light happen to come on and stay on after you used the tune on your truck? Because mine did as soon as i did the 87 octane tune and i dont know how to get it to go away?
