Hey everyone, im super new to this tuning stuff. Like beyond new.
I have a 2019 sierra with an l84 and 8 speed.
Im doing a minor na build to it, mostly to get rid of the dod.
Long tubes, cam, l86 intake, xpipe and dual 3" catless exhaust. I think thats all i plan on doing for mods right now. Eventually id like to boost it in some way (undecided, plus if im still kickin).
Im unfortunatly unable to do most of the physical mods myself as im stage 4 cancer and in not great shape still, im having this done to just add a bit more enjoyment.
Id like to do the ecm exchange and all that myself, so i dont feel totally out of touch on the build, so when it goes to the shop for the engine work all he has to do is hook up and tune it afterwards(is that the better way to go about this?)
The whole ecm exchange and stuff has me confused, and i dont want to screw anything up.
The mpvi2+, can i buy just that or do i need the pro right out the gate?
Id like to have the option of remote tuning later down the road when i mod further, plan on keeping this truck for the rest of my life.
It says theres a immobilizer relearn that needs to be done. How does that get done? Will a dealer do it or can i get the stuff to do that myself as well?
I just realized they have the 8 speed/10 speed unlocked finally, the t87a, is that for my transmission? And if so, should i get that done too?
Basically, id like to do the ecm exchange and all that ahead of the parts going on, and just have it driving like stock until i get back home to get the parts put on. Is that an option, or will it just be better if i get the shop to do everything for me?
I have a lot of free time, and dont mind learning and buying some stuff as im bored out of my effin mind.
Thanks in advance everyone!!
