I slapped the ERS into 1 and tested it on the way to work and sure enough, it shifted before 5800ish on it's own. I'd like to get to 6000 at least too.

Yeah, and Diablo claims it's undetectable, just restore the factory backup before you get service.

Hemifever's tunes make a world of difference over the canned tunes, I'll tell you that, as I'm sure you've read.

Does Bullydog claim it's undetectable as well? Deciding between the two. This would be the biggest factor.

dont know if they do or not but what do you have planned for the truck as far as performance? If nothing more then intake and exhaust then most get better gains from bully dog if you want a custom tune then diablo is the choice

Yeah I've read plenty about them. Light bolt ons planned. Bullydog is what I was leaning towards. I would certainly go with the Diablo though if they're undetectable and the Bullydog isn't.

Do many people have trouble spinning tires? I can turn my tc off and put it in tow mode and it will smoke them no problem.

mine would do a small squeek and then you would feel the truck stop and take off again with all the torque management it had now itll spin them no problem

I'm sure one way or another they can find out, Diablo swears it doesn't show anything more than when you disconnect the battery and reset everything. Either way I'm not too concerned.

I can spin them, I try not to too much because of my lack of an LSD. I even squeak a little sometimes at the 1-2 shift.

i read somewhere about it reseting your key cycles or something like that idk but i dont see why they would look into it unless you give them a reason to

That's my mentality, I don't abuse the truck but once in a while and I doubt with what's been done to the truck it's harming it anymore than stock would. I get slapped and an ear full anytime I go above the speed limit usually lol.

Yeah he adjusted shift points, I haven't cared to mess with them since because he did a pretty good job.

Now I just have to figure out what the next mod will be, I have a catch can ordered, a Y pipe I have yet to install (was waiting to do that when I get around to headers). Most likely a TB is next on the list.

Ok I lowered the shift points to 5900 and raised the rev limiter all the way and it still hits the rev limiter going into second i guess I'm going to have to lower the shift points more? On a good note It chirps the 22s going into second after the rev limiter
