I was curious, how many truck owners do we have here doing there own tuning? I know of (Magic) Chicken, but that is it. If you have a truck and are tuning it, post up your info for me please.

Got the HPTuners mostly to:

2: Adjust the idle (Radix tune was too fast).
3: Tweak some of the transmission calibration settings.

hows the software been treating the truck guys so far?

badzracing has a 99 silverado 4.8 with a procharger...im helping him as is his cousin but he bought the program if that countsOriginally Posted by onyx
im just taking anything i help him with as a learning experience since ive never worked on a forced induction car/truck other then my own gtp.
It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...
A wise man once said "google it"
The software has been great! Paid for itself about 3X over by diagnosing a screwup in the Magnacharger tune which could have cost me my transmission.I do this kind of thing at work on Class 8 (i.e. 18 wheeler) trucks, and I wish the software we had was as powerful and easy to use.
Unfortunately I can't say the same for the laptops. The first one died (had trouble with it since the day I bought it in 2002 so prob. good riddance) and the second one sometimes has trouble finding the USB-Serial adapter. Not an HPTuners problem but one between the adapter and the PC.
Back on subject. Yes, I strongly recommend HPTuners. Believe me, if you buy it you won't regret it.

Onyx,
They took out all but about 2% of the 1-2 shift TM. The result was that at WOT the trans would take a full second to do the shift, with the 2nd gear clutch fighting and slipping against the torque while trying to engage. I put back the stock TM which sucks, but at least my trans is protected for now. In time I will try reducing the TM while increasing the clutch apply pressure, hoping to get a good compromise.
Two other areas they messed up in a less serious manner are:
1: For some reason (smog?) they increased the idle by 50-75 RPM, resulting in a "runaway" feeling. Returning to stock fixed the problem.
2: At highway speeds the TCC unlocks at the slightest throttle pressure. Tried the stock TCC map which was yuck :P, but I like how it works in T/H mode, so I might copy that map over.
Anyway I am very glad to have HPTuners, which allows me to adjust these parameters. Thanks for a great product, guys!!

Just got the software in the mail today. now need to read up on what to change and what not to change.
Wow, a lot of blown... uhm, supercharger guys.
Just got my tuner suite Tuesday. Have tuned my LT1 TA in the past with tunercat, and my truck has a predator tune which I am disecting as we speak, they pulled alot of TM out which I swear they say they don't. I am
changing the trans temp alarm temp as soon as I get a read for my trans temp when towing with the scanner, the reduce that alarm setting from it's current 279F , which in my book is too late to warn, I think over 225F the trans fluid is losing life.

I have a 98 L29 (7.4L) K2500 Suburban with a banks power pack on it. This product seems to be just what I am looking for if only I could find out if it is compatible with the ECU.
Does anyone know of a product that supports this version of GM engine?
I plan on doing some valve train mods, improve air flow, and eventually install forced induction but I would rather have more immediate control over what its doing with something like an HP unit.
