I'm new to the diesel world, but have been doing my own tuning on the LSx platform for years. I recently picked up a "new" to me 2011 2500 w/35k on the clock. My first thought was to delete the DPF and use HPTuners to tune the truck, but guess what, HPTuners has removed access to the emission control parameters in their software for diesels.
I wish. You have to find or know someone with the extra table data. Out of the box or doesn't. I've had no luck so had to buy tunes. And now I need to log my problem with my up shifts and hope they fix it instead of doing it myself in like 5m.
We dont want to sit through anything rather just wait till its over and get the key highlights. I think its because we have way too much info and stimulation at our fingertips all the time. But then you see some of this no prep drag stuff and the LS craze and I think there might still be hope fingers crossed. I only hope the 40 somethings like myself are trying to change the way our kids think and this group of millenials thinking everything should be given to them and no need to work or drive is only a short faze. Kind of like the small economy cars of the 80's lol.. what a disaster that was but look at what we have for performance cars today. Who would of ever thought 600 or 800hp would be common place in a car you buy from the dealer with a waranty. So who knows im still trying to hold on and hope for the best. And bring my kids up to think more like I do and not like these millenials.
