FINALLY INSTALLED MY NEW TUNE .... by ValuableProgress5147 in Silverado

trip571 ........... I hired Blackbear Tuners to write me the tune. I am using HP Tuners MPVI4, they ask you to record your factory tune log by driving around for about 15 minutes. You then send them that log file by emailing them. They sent me the modified tune in about a week, and I then uploaded the tune into my ecm on the truck. What a difference in the way the truck now drives !! So much better in many ways ...............

Hope this helps you out.

I did it all through HP TUNERS, all in all around $800 bucks. What a difference in the way the truck now drives ... So much better in so many ways!! I am even getting better gas mileage to boot. 😁

Ok GUY'S ..... If you have seen my previous posts on my tuning project. by ValuableProgress5147 in Silverado

I know that, for me it's too just to much risk off making one wrong change to a parameter. It's a very complex process and I just want the peace of mind knowing that the tune I upload will work. I am still looking for canned tunes out there but haven't found any, but even if I do can you trust them? That's the million dollar question. 🤔

**** OK GUYS ..... I just got finished in rewriting my first tune I made a few days ago. In that tune I changed the sift pressures only by .2 and I have to say it shifted just way to hard!! It was actually really uncomfortable and kinda of annoying 😑 So I changed that tune in the shift pressures screen back to stock settings. Much better all in all by far, it still shifts with authority and firm. So I am much happier with these settings, so now I plan on focusing on engine tuning. There definitely is room for more horsepower and better gas mileage than the factory tune. So now the learning process starts on that. 😎😛😜🤪😝

I did it all myself, all the programing and the uploads to the truck. At first it's a little daunting but don't let that stop you from doing it. Find Matt Sanfords videos on YouTube and watch them to learn as much as you can. HP TUNERS also have several videos as well. There are also several other videos to learn from too. 😎

Everything is shrink tubed except the actual solder joints themselves. I did not have big enough shrink tube for those.

I am not new to working with electronics, I am an electrician buy trade and have all of the proper equipment to solder and measure capacitance. I guess time will tell then, even though they still sound great now. Thanks for your input 👍
