My Diablosport Intune I1 bricked on me. Won’t connect to the truck or to the computer. The 87 octane tune is still on my truck. If I buy a new tuner is there going to be an issue with the truck not being the factory settings when I try to use the new one?

Hp Tuners pulled my Diablo tune off the PCM no problem when my Diablo bricked.

is the HP tuners or Flyin Ryan tune a piggyback? or do you have to buy a spare/or send in your original PCM/ECU?

Hey, figured youd be a great person to talk to regarding ideal tuning choice. So, I really don't want a tune to do much. I don't want to add power, and although I think the shift points could be better I don't really want to risk changing anything within TCU. I only want to up my idle RPM to 750 or so and deactivate MDS. Its my assumption that Alfa only changes MDS but can't do anything with the idle RPM. Is that right or can Alfa OBD do that? if so Ill probably just do that.

Alfa can't do either of those things unfortunately. Unlocked ECU and a tuner is the only way for those changes, along with the engine/transmission tune.
