20 Best Tuner For Trucks (2022 Updated)

Overall I am satisfied with this tuner. I like the fact that is does have a screen to see real time info and changing the tune is relatively easy. Installation was a little cumbersome but it was easy.

For performance gains it’s not mind blowing but it is fun. You can tell a difference when changing the tunes. The only issue I have is that not all the options it says it can do work on all vehicles.

They say that is the case on their website but you do not know until you have it installed.

It’s a hassle to get setup, when parts used are cheap, you need to pretty much use your own stuff to hook up. USB to SD mini don’t work, need to have one or get one. The fuse clip will not fit in fuse panel.

New vehicles don’t like it when you tap into it either. If your on rough road or offloading, don’t expect it to stay connected to the holder provided. Should come with a way to install it in the piller.

Cost extra.

The reason for me ordering the DiabloSport Predator 2 tuner was to hopefully adjust some of the shift points and make for a smoother ride in my 2016 Chevy Colorado. Visited the DiabloSport website after reading a lot of good things about the Predator 2 and verified that it would work with my vehicle.

Also went on the Summit Racing website and it listed this tuner as well as being compatible with my truck. Shipped the following day and received it without any problems. Unfortunately when I went to start the tune (after already going through the update as specified in the manual), it comes up with an error saying it is missing the tuning file for my model and make of truck.

Went through the update process again just to make sure everything was current and got a message from DiabloSport that the file for tuning my truck is not available at the time and that I would be notified via email when it was available.

After some time researching this problem on Google and various forums, it is apparent this is a common problem with DiabloSport. There are people that have been waiting over a YEAR to receive the files for their vehicle and have yet to receive them.

Needless to say, if you are looking to purchase this tuner, don’t believe either the DiabloSport website or the Summit Racing website because they are not accurate. Returns process has taken a little over a week to receive the credit to me credit card.

While I place most of the blame on DiabloSport, I feel as those Summit Racing should make sure that the products they say will for certain vehicles, actually work for those vehicles.

I bought mine hoping to tune my 01 C-5. It never would do right. I called holley ( holley ownes the preditor) They said call back in three days which I did. They said they had put a new program in the unit and when I installed it that it would work fine.

I installed it and it was just as bad if not worse than before. You would be better off to open the window of your car and throw the money out at least you would know what happened to it. I paid taxes and all over 350.

00 for the one I have and then I had to pay a man 250. 00 to tune my car. I would be very happy to sell mine foe 100. 00. Any takers??? J U N K ! ! ! ! ! I am sure there are those that say it is a great piece at a great price and that it works perfect.

I am surely not one of those. Buy at your on risk and hope for the best.

The Jet 15003 Power Programmer for Ford Vehicles is a Perfect Performance Upgrade! Whether you are Stock & want added performance or an Economy Tune; Some Modifications, just needing adjustments; or an all-out Custom Configuration (Gear Ration Change/Tire Size Increase over Stock/Induction/Etc) & want to get the most Bang for your Buck, THIS IS the best product available for the Ford Gas-Powered Vehicles 1996-2004! In addition to Performance/Economy Gains, there is also an On-board Diagnostics Feature to check Trouble Codes! Once the Programmer is applied to an eligible vehicle, it stores factory programming in memory & becomes VIN-Locked to that specific vehicle.

To use it on a different vehicle, OEM Configuration must be returned to the first vehicle. (that is the only downside, but otherwise, I would recommend Jet Performance Products were I asked!.

1. There was no discernable engine performance gain with program changes. Both Jet “performance” map programs were tried. Specific items such as ignition timing or fuel mixtures cannot be custom modified with this programmer.

2. My car lost about 0. 8 mpg average fuel economy with the Jet performance maps installed. 3. The programmer died and had to be replaced. 4. The only value I actually got from this device was to change the speed limiter on my car, and that single feature was not worth the cost of the programmer.

Cam/intake or exhaust improvements provide much more bang for the buck.

Definitely can feel more punch. I stiffened up my shifts as well which I like. I believe I am getting a bit better gas mileage not so sure because I have 305X20X50’s on my truck and they are 31 inches tall by measuring and I programmed in that my tires are 31 inches tall (which is what they measure top to bottom) and so far getting about 25/30 miles to the tank better mileage using 93 octane when I used to use 89 octane.

You can probably get by with just the plug in module if all your after is the performance but at this price it was nice to get the added features and the ability to read check engine light codes as well as remove a check engine light.

Hope this helps.

The tuner has helped change the dynamics of the 2005 GMC sierra 5. 3 performmance. Adjusted the shift points firmer shift and engine power. The tire sizes are not all there but come close still a few mph off.

would be better if actual sizes could be put in. Like the way it runs now much better than stock. Throttle response is better and mileage is also better.

So far I have not had very good luck with this programmer and I am on my second one. Not sure if there is a problem with my ECM but Summit did exchange the first one (great customer service I thought) and the second one is on its way to Jet for reprogramming and or replacement.

Will revise this review if I am able to get it to work in my 2005 Chevy Tahoe.

I originally bought a SCT tuner from Another Company. It came in the mail and did not work. I was on phone with customer service for 2 days with NO Results. I sent that back. I Then ordered my JET Tuner from Jegs.

Fast Shipping and Worked Right out the box. Great piece and ALWAYS Great Service from JEGS. BRIAN – Virginia.

Check your battery voltage before programming and I highly recommend the use of a constant voltage power supply while programming. I used a standard battery charger to maintain battery voltage when I tried to tune my truck because I know programming is not quick process and that’s what I have at the house.

The first part of the process seemed to work, extracting the stock tune but when it tried to upload the aftermarket tune to my PCM it failed and had an error code 110DB. This left my truck immobile. Turn the key and nothing happens.

Assuming this was a problem with the tuner, I spent half the day on the phone with tech support while they remotely inspected and updated the BDX firmware using TeamViewer. Tech support was very helpful but in the end they could not see any reason on their side that would cause it to error and fail to program.

They said to try it a few more times to see if it would work. I did with no luck. They told me the last thing I could do is to send them the tuner and my PCM via overnight shipping at no cost to me so they would program it there.

I did not want to do that and since I have access to Ford IDS and have plenty of experience reflashing modules, I figured I’d just reflash my PCM with as built data from Ford. So I bring the IDS and a constant voltage power supply from work.

I hook up the power supply and decide to try the tuner one more time to see if voltage was the issue. and It worked flawlessly. My battery was the original battery and although I had no performance problems from it it was at the end of its life.

This paired with my charger that fluctuates voltage caused the program to fail. Note: the BDX showed a voltage of 13. 2v. Which is the first thing tech support asked. Unfortunately the voltmeter is only going to read the average voltage of the fluctuating output of the standard battery charger.

I will say that in the past I have used a standard battery charger while programming modules and it has worked fine and I suspect that if I had a good battery in my truck to start with it would have worked as well.

Adequate voltage is very important for any module reprogramming. As for the tuner it’s self, I like it. The throttle response is great. Right now I’m running the 87 performance tune. When I fill up next I’ll be trying the 93 tune.

5star’s tune does everything that’s advertised. However, I’ve had several key issues as noted in this review. Drivability: The first thing I noticed after installing the tune was a strong exhaust smell in my garage when parking my truck.

I assume this is due to running rich. I also noticed any time I decelerate, I feel my truck shudder hard as it downshifts. It’s noticeable enough that my passengers have mentioned it to me. After several attempts to contact 5star, someone answered and I was told they would send me an updated tune and that I should try a different tune in the meantime (I had the adaptive tune at the time).

So, I switched to the daily tune. The same drivetrain shudder existed here too. On this tune, on the hwy I did a WOT pull while passing a car. While WOT, suddenly I felt a large drop in power and my gauge cluster flashed a message saying “pre collision assistance not available” and my check engine light came on.

At this point the truck seemed to be in limp mode. The rest of the trip back home, the vehicle was in a low power mode and would not shift gears correctly. The previous mentioned shudder happened every single time I let off the gas pedal.

I hooked up my SCT tuner to check the codes and they were P0068(MAF Throttle Position) & P0471(Exhaust Pressure Sensor). I set the vehicle back to stock and the truck ran fine at that point. Days later I applied the prev mentioned updated tune to address the shuddering drivetrain.

I can’t say I really noticed any change here and at this point I had been trying to call 5star tuning for several days to talk through my issues. As of now, I’ve called them a dozen times, left a voicemail and sent an email all with no human response.

Fuel economy: I recently drove out west from the east coast and tested my fuel economy with the updated adaptive tune applied. I used mid-grade fuel (89-east, 87-west). The weather was great and the drive had little traffic.

I avg’d 17. 3 MPG over 1500+ miles of interstate driving. Upon arriving, I decided to remove the tune hoping my fuel eco would go up. On the return leg the vehicle was set to stock and you can see I avg’d 19.

1 MPG. Note, the return trip started with an hour of stop/go traffic. Then, through the entire great plains, there was very heavy wind that negatively affected my fuel eco significantly. Also, I used regular gas (85-west, 87-east).

I used cruise control on both legs of the trip and had it set btwn 78-83 depending on speed limit.

Tuner was an easy install. Within 50 miles noticed several improvements. Power was definitely improved and fuel mileage appears to be much better. Of course more miles is needed to establish a good review for mileage.

I will update this post. Again power gain is there noticed a high difference going up hill.

Surprisingly the best thing I have done for my Mustang this far. I bought it so I could change my rear gear ratio, but before I got to that I added the 93 octane tune, disabled traction control, bumped up the rev limiter and adjusted the fan controls to a lower temperature because I was seeing the needle move a little hotter on WOT pulls.

Couldn’t believe how much this woke up my car and how much smoother everything seemed to run. Once I add in the 3. 73s this will be a totally different car. Was not expecting this from a box tune but with the bolt ons I have it worked wonders and the adjustment to my fans kept the temp needle from moving.

The only reason I give it 4 stars is because the instructions don’t match the computer software to update the device and the computer software looks like it’s from 1997. In 2022 they should be able to vastly improve this interface and have the instructions match the buttons available on the screen.

Otherwise incredibly happy with this product. Mods for Reference: Accurate 70mm TB/Plenum, JLT fenderwell CAI & Oil Separator, Flowmaster Catback. 93 Octane tune that was preloaded on the device worked great with these basic bolts ons.

I wish someone would have told me to go buy the Bama X4 tuner instead (which is the same price) and you get free tunes for life. SCT customer support won’t help with anything, they just tell you that you’ll have to get a custom tune from somewhere (it’s $500 per tune here locally).

I have a 100% stock ’03 GT, automatic. The SCT x4 description says that you can modify shift points, but they don’t tell you it’s only WOT shift points that are able to be edited. So if you’re going through town where it’s only 35mph speed limit but you had to goose it to get out into the traffic from a stop sign, it won’t shift out of 1st gear until 30MPH because you started off fast to get into traffic and it sees that as Wide Open Throttle for some reason.

(Go drive your car in 1st gear at 30mph and see how annoying that is). The Tuner is good if you’re going to be wide-open all the time, that’s for sure. But if you only do the track 2 days a month and drive everyday in a small town with no big speed limits, it’s not great.

Maybe it’s better if you have a 5spd, but for a 4. 6L/Auto, you’re going to need more tunes.

Sct x4 is great, does everything I’ve wanted it to and gives me a live readout of my gauges. I’ve got a 2006 6. 0 dually with 4:30 gears The blessed tunes on the truck did not work for me. All 3 of the tunes made my truck shift extremely hard, all the time with erratic jump of gears.

I asked for the to adjust the tune and they just told me to relearn the transmission. I tried multiple times, no change. Truck also blows black smoke under any load, in all of the tunes and averages 9-10mpg When I return to stock, no more hard shift, smoke or bad fuel mileage.

Fuel mileage goes back to about 13-14. Since switching tuners, I average about 16-17mpg, no smoking or hard shifts.

First let me say that this tuner absolutely does what its intended to do. I went with Diablosport because I use the same product on my 2001 Powerstroke. This is the first gas engine I has used a flash tuner on and to be honest it left a lot to be desired after using the diesel version.

Now that isn’t a fair comparison because of the two being vastly different but it was a bit of a shock as how little the performance gains on the gas engine were. The biggest benefit to this tuner having the 4.

8L was the trans tuning options as terrible trans tuning seemed to be a trend in the mid to late 2000’s era trucks. After several days of adjusting several tuning options I was finally satisfied with how the truck was running for its current setup.

Slightly more power (5% maybe), getting the same MPG as before but way better trans shifting. Overall I’m very happy with the product and still believe that Diablosport makes probably the best flash tuner out there.

This will get me by until the Whipple kit goes on this old girl in the future.

I was so excited to when the device showed up at my door! Nice looking unit, good feel to it in your hands. Very user friendly. Good display. So I got on the web and registered and downloaded the updates.

So I take the device out to my truck (2001 F150 4×4 Lariat SuperCrew 5. 4L 330 Cubic Inch V-8) plug the unit in and setup the software request connection with the truck and bam I’m in! No problems at all with software connection.

Upon looking through the available programs that are preloaded by Diablo Predator 2. There’s not much for me to benefit from this programer! 1 performance program, 93 octane. Noticed better off Idle power and the shift points where better, could not honestly say that I noticed the advertised (Guaranteed by Diablo).

So in the end I’m not satisfied at all with the device, it cost me $357 and change to install the one and only modification for performance. The device does not do what the company advertised in my opinion.

I’m hoping that I will be offered some kind of refund or credit to buy something that will satisfy my performance search.

Had an issue where the tuner wouldn’t update with software, every time I plugged it into truck it would say “files missing please update”, but it wouldn’t update. Emailed tech support and 3 hours later they emailed back to update again as they have added needed files.

Sure enough it updated and worked flawlessly. Did a 93 octane performance upgrade, also increased drive idle rpm to 700 rpms (500 rpms is too low especially with 35” tires and a lift, wouldn’t even roll when brake was released.

) also turned off AFM because duh, increased rpm shift points up a little etc. the truck gets better gas mileage now, has more power and shifts up and down a lot better than stock tune. I’d definitely recommend this tuner.

IšverstiShow in original languageDiablosport describes the 91 Octane tune, as giving your Jeep increased drive ability, they did not disappoint, the engine was noticeably smoother, my passenger also noticed this as well and commented on the increased smoothness of the ride, and engine.

Along with the drive train as well as if the entire Jeep was somehow changed, as the running gear was noticeably smoother, and more power, much more. It was as if the vehicle was balanced, and smoothed out the power curve, it wasn’t fighting itself at any RPM.

Acceleration even in 5th gear was impressive, going uphill, passing semi trucks like they were standing still. Mileage was only slightly improved, but what was noticeable was the gas gauge was dare I say more linear, in that it marked off the gas usage differently and was impressive because I could see the difference in mileage as I drove, it must be a function of fuel usage, which is noticeable as you drive, and explains the usage difference.

I have a route to another small city 65 miles away, so it allows me a good drive because it’s a climb out of town, with hills and plains on Freeway and State Roads, so I get to test the power as it hits these grades at speed.

My engine had markedly improved in power up these grades. Fuel usage was about the same I can get up to 21 miles a gallon in my 2011 JK Sport, its all about using the right gear, and throttle control, in a manual transmission, the only kind to have in a Jeep, in my opinion.

It gives the ability to choose a gear when stuck, sometime less torque means less slippage, and getting out of a sticky situation, we have all been there. If you have a throttle controller, disengage the controller, as the throttle body boost is changed in this tune and is a parameter you have control over in the improved Predator II Platinum tuner, you do not want to stack control schemes on one another.

Though will test this at a later date to see if they can be used together, as it was with the stock tune. As a retired electronic engineer the software is robust and error free as it has numerous routines that make sure the data gets written correctly, which is something you should consider when buying a tuner, as it can turn you ECU into a brick, if data is written incorrectly.

It has a data integrity routine that constantly runs and checks the data to make sure it writes correctly. So data integrity is a must with any tuner. The data logging capabilities will be tested to see if I can try and eek out any more power out of the engine, as currently comprised, it’s a stock 3.

8L V6 which now performs as it should have from the factory. That they chose such an anemic tune, that I like to call “press the gas and wait,” this is my first drive by wire vehicle and it leaves a lot to be desired as currently comprised in a stock tune and gas pedal control.

As every other vehicle I owned was a mechanical linkage, and you learn to drive by feel as much as see. Those days are gone and my Jeep has power to spare, as it should, since power and throttle should be under your control not the ECU, it must respond correctly and quickly or you feel you are not in control of your vehicle, a bad situation.

The Predator II can also load custom tunes, so these functions will be tested at a later time, after I exhaust this tune and its capabilities, before finding any flaws in the 91 Octane tune that need to be corrected, if any.

The 3. 8L engine likes 91 Octane fuel and should be your fuel of choice, if you want any real power out of your engine that is. You will need to change the tune to get any real performance out of that engine, and its significant, and is done safely.

Since the smoothness of the engine, tells the tale, you will not be disappointed if you choose this tune and a Diablosport tuner, which they claim can increase horsepower by 20 plus ponies, and increased torque significantly which comes on much earlier now than from the stock tune.

A great buy and use with confidence, your Jeep will thank you.

IšverstiShow in original languageUpdating programmer-simple. Installing tune-simple with the exception of instructions show to download original tune from truck first, did not work, but it did do it (I hope) before installing tune.

I was also able to correct my speedometer which was 10mph off due to lift and 37×13. 50×22 tires. Up to this point the DiabloSport has performed as advertised (that is nothing special, it’s what I am paying for).

I loaded the Diablo 93 Octane tune, truck running 93 gas prior to install. The performance I am getting is just slightly better than the stock performance tune that came from Ford, and by slightly I mean the MPG is only difference.

So from a performance stand point, on my year model, motor, and King Ranch package this was a waste of money. My other issue is with their customer support. I sent email asking about my stock tunes. My truck came stock with 5 tune choices (normal/economy/tow/snow and rain/sport) which could be changed at any time by pushing a button.

My question was what effect would it have on the stock tunes after installing a diablo tune? Does the diablo replace the sport tune, normal tune, or all the tunes? Afraid to switch modes because of chance it could cause a problem.

They did not respond. For me and my model truck, it definitely is not worth it. Wish I could return for money back that I paid but not how things work these days. Im sure this tuner works for other vehicles-make/year/model, thats why I chose Diablo due to my review research, highest rated programmer I found.

Just didnt perform for my truck.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis unit is better suited for those that know they have exact areas needing more performance. The average person wouldn’t know how much spark or rpm to add or subtract while in a certain gear.

They wouldn’t know exactly where their power band is optimal in each gear. The SCT removed the drone and I am sure it will do everything else advertised. This unit is for you if you have technical information like a pre-existing dyno.

Don’t shotgun it!!!! That could cost your engine.

IšverstiShow in original language2012 F150 3. 5 EcoBoost bone stock other than this tune- I’ve had this only a couple days. I had some challenges getting the device updater software to work. In fairness it worked better once I made some updates to my computer.

But I haven’t had issues with any other software previously with that same computer. In the meantime while trying to update the tuner firmware before the software was working consistently, the device got stuck.

I had to call SCT and it took about an hour to get a rep. Once I had him, he was able to unlock the device and update the firmware in about 10 minutes. I loaded the 87 Octane tune. I noticed subtle yet very obvious performance gains.

Most noticeably stronger and more smooth lowend torque. This made driving easier, more satisfying, and most importantly improved how the cruise control performs over rolling hills which is one of my major beefs with the stock.

There is no more lagging, sagging, slowing down etc. Overall I’m pretty impressed with performance given that I’m using the lowest tune. I haven’t driven it enough to give a legit MPG comment. But so far, about 50 miles, it seems about the same.

This combined with the performance improvement of the lowest tune is reason enough for me to give this a 5 star rating. BUT. I ordered an MPT tune and it was delivered very timely. I loaded it to the device with seemingly no problem.

When I went to my truck and plugged it in, I now have the same communication error that stuck the device before. So now I have to commit another 2 hours of time between 9-6 EST M-F to get this resolved with SCT.

I have no doubt that they will fix it once I get a rep. But for the time I’ve spent getting this tuner to work, I feel like they owe me money. And by the way I’m very capable with computers and know what to expect.

Thus I’m giving an overall rating of 4 stars. But, I would say the tunes themselves are worthy of a 5 for a relatively easy and cheap bang for the buck performance upgrade. And I’m looking very forward to trying out the higher tunes.

IšverstiShow in original languageSo the tuner itself is nice. The display is big and bright and easy to read. The features it has already pre loaded onto the tuner were only an option to change my tire size which was one main reason I purchased it.

The initial setup on the computer is straightforward, then plugging into the truck and installing is straightforward and easy. I was dissappointed that it doesn’t come with any preloaded tunes. Because now you’ve bought this unit and the only thing I accomplished with the $400 invested was calibrate my speedometer, in which case I could have spent half the price for a competitiors tuner.

Something that shoppers should be aware of is that the investment does not end at $400, that’s your starting point. It’s $400 paying for custom tunes to install on your truck. That’s where I am dissappointed because it is misleading in the sense that it tells you all the features but nowhere states you won’t have any tunes on the tuner and also I believe they (sct) need to specifically releases what all features are availiable for this truck specifically because you see a long list of options and at the bottom, yes it does say not all options availiable on all vehicles but overall, it was dissappointing.

Our fuel mileage on our 2016 Sierra was 15. 9 under the best conditions and highway driving. After tuning we are getting 21. 9 steadily and that’s one of our reasons for getting a tuner. This tuner isn’t going to make your truck a hot rod but it will eliminate the AFM that bounces from V4 to V8 all the time.

It tows our 6000lb trailer so much better now since we changed shift points and transmission pressure no more hesitant shifts it’s exactly what we needed for our uses.

Extremely pleased with the performance of the Diablosport Predator 2 93 Octane Diablo tune. Easy install, just follow the prompts on the tuner. Mods include Barton shifter and bracket, CAI and Roush rear springs.

Seat of the pants feel of increased midrange power & torque is impressive. Very linear power deliver vs. stock Overall drivability is greatly improved.

My truck setup is 2013 Ram 1500 with a Pro Comp 6” lift and 35/12. 50r20 tires. I had a difficult time with getting the software updated either via wifi or line connected. Ended up getting it updated via wifi before I could make any changes, totally fine.

The problem was before it was updated the unit kept freezing on me and took about four attempts for it to finally update. Once updated it was pretty self explanatory. Tire size adjustment wasn’t super accurate to what the device said my tire size was and what my tires actually are.

I have 35” tires and had to set the unit to 33. 5” tires for the speedometer to be accurate. Checked with 3 different gps softwares to confirm actual speed. It’s possible I missed something. One thing I didn’t read and maybe some already know this but I had to learn.

When you select a tune you should drive it for about 75-100 miles before the tune actually finds it’s groove so-to-speak. Again, some people may know that but I didn’t. So the mpg initially was not good but since I’ve driven it for a while it’s improved.

Now that I’ve driven a while and we’re about to take it on a trip I feel pretty confident in the tune/settings.

Installed on a 2017 Camaro SS good bang for the your buck as far as tuning goes but really paid off by disabling the AFM. Probably saved my engine in the long run. I don’t think these GM engines will last much over 125k miles with AFM enabled.

This tuner gives you a decent tune out of the box and is plug and play. Would have upgraded to the predators platinum if I had to do it again knowing what I know now. But very satisfied. Not going to give a lot of power or torque but disabling the AFM was ultimate objective.

Does give nice throttle response and modify a few parameters.

Newer trucks have a built in tow mode setting, but if you own an older truck that is in good condition this is an excellent upgrade. I own a 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the 5. 4 triton 2 valve/ cylinder and the 4R100 automatic transmission.

I’ve owned it since December of 2003. The previous owner had a Superchips added for towing in June of 1999, the type that plug into the back of the computer. It had fifteen sets of jaws that clip onto fifteen inlaided circuit lines in the circuit board.

After 22 years those clips wore into the circuit lines destroying them. So I purchased and installed a remanufactured computer programmed off my trucks vin. I noticed a significant lose in towing ability, but also noticed that it shifted smoother when not towing.

Technically has changed and now you can have both. So I purchased the Flashpaq. I first tried the Performance mode, but didn’t like it , it is to strong and shifts to hard for my liking. So I used the Mileage XS setting.

It performs well and shifts smoothly. I set my truck for Heavy Tow mode when towing my R. V. It is even better than the old Superchip. Truck seems stronger, shifts smoothly and holds longer on an up hill grade before the need for the transmission to down shift.

When I’m done towing I reset to Mileage XS. I’m not interested in mileage so much as I am in how it runs and shifts Couldn’t be more satisfied.

I added this when I installed the RC Cat-back. I immediately noticed improvements on all fronts. MPG went up. Throttle response improved. Power and torque both definitely improved. Last night while driving on the freeway, while making a lane change, I put my foot into it a bit and the truck downshifted as it accelerated.

It was a bit of a surprise to me how the truck responded because I’m used to the ride without the chip. Really felt the power come through. I can’t be sure of this but it felt like the back end broke loose a bit.

I was using the 87 octane map. The truck tows my boat just fine on stock but the experience and power delivery is so much better on the superchip. Shift points are spot on and all the power seems to be just sitting there in the immediate background waiting to be used.

San Vicente Reservoir in San Diego has a really steep hill at the entry. Again, my stock truck handles it fine, but it feels effortless on the superchip. Not paid to write the review. I just really like the product.

After putting 295/70r17s on my truck, it took a freakin nose dive regarding its power and highway speeds. It was a turd and made me second guess going with bigger tires. I still plan on regearing it but for now this programmer has 100% satisfied the issues.

I can tell you this thing works. I have only used 87 setting and set my tire size and stock gear ratio 3. 55. Well worth it. The truck feels way better with this childish tires lol. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s not going to fix it 100%.

It definitely isn’t stock at 60+ with accelerating. But there are certain hills in my area that really pushed the truck with the bigger tires and the before and after with the programmer was certainly noticeable.

Again, don’t expect to do burnouts if you can’t already do them, but if you just put some bigger tires on your truck and don’t wanna tell your wife you kinda don’t like the way the truck feels now after dropping $1600 on some new shoes for it, get this.

I got this for my 04 Ram 5. 7. Seat of Pants: Out of the box, there’s a noticeable seat of the pants difference; especially if I floor it. Performance: This tune is moderately stronger at part throttle as well.

No noticeable improvement in shift quality, and at higher RPMs the shift quality is actually worse, ostensibly because of the added power. After about 5 tanks of gas since install I can say I’ve gained about 1.

0-1. 2 MPG around town, and 2. 2-2. 5 MPG highway. The MPG increase I consider a small offset for having to run 91 to achieve those results. Bang for Buck: I consider this a good product for someone who doesn’t know how to, or invest the time into tuning the vehicle yourself, so that being said I feel like the price point is significantly higher than I would feel is warranted by the customizability of the tune.

I’m sure a lot of the cost has to do with the interface, which admittedly I don’t have much use for, so the value could be there for someone else, but not me. For the price point to be warranted for me, I would expect a self learning mode to self optimize the tune.

Overall: 4 stars; noticeable positive results, but not to warrant the cost IMO, and lack of customization, particularly for shift parameters (*Note this is an 04 NGC3 PCM truck, an 07+ w/NGC4 PCM should have more customizable options, so your results may be different).

Installed on 2001 K1500. All complete stock except for lift and tires. Tired of always doing the math that 60 meant 67mph 35 meant 40 and 30 meant 35. Solo wanted something that would display information from engine and transmission.

And the trinity was able to do what I needed it to. My tire size has been recalibrated and it reads perfect just measure tire instead of believing the 35 on the sidewall and all this good information that usually requires a scan tool that has live data to read is in your hands and you can customize the information to read In gauges.

It can also connect to wifi which made install and updates easy. This is a decent product for someone that just want to know information and change some settings to someone with a nice sports car that wants to modify the ecms map to get a little more horsepower.

Got this for my 2012 Charger Pursuit. Decided to go with this rather than the cheaper one, and i do not regret it one bit. At first it was kinda buggy/glitchy. I plugged it in to my PC and updated it and it was fine after that.

I just use the 93 tune with my K&N Intake and it has made a night and day difference. Havent done exhaust yet (besides mid muffler delete) but when i do more the tuner will be even more useful. Definitely recommend this purchase of your not 100% sure yet.

Great tuner, had issues with it at first draining my battery/batteries. Worked with Diablo on the phone and figured it out. Ended up being a bad cell in my main battery. They sent a replacement that ended up showing it wasn’t the tuners fault.

Only thing I do not like is it doesn’t show the screen without touching it when I get in. Turns off and doesn’t draw power when key is off.

Could be faster during selection processes. Reboot’s slot after you make your selections. Which is kind of annoying. But the product does what it says it will. High quality materials and an awesome large quality 5inch screen.

Resolution is top notch. Features are unreal. Bought this to disable AFM and Speed Limiter and it did both. Not to mention I added a small pre loaded tune for a little extra added juice. This item also works with my Throttle enhancer “PCommander” without a hitch.

Very minimal tweaks this far and lemme tell ya this 5. 3 launches off the line ridiculously for a big 6k lb truck. Chir-pen em into 3rd, if that tells ya anything. Originally bought to remove the AFM which has been a huge concern in chevys over time causing oil and lifter problems , creating possible $3k motor repairs in the long run.

Chose to spend alot less now to correct the problem with this Trinity , versus shelling out 3k – 2years from now to rebuild lifters and motor. Smart buy if you own a chevy with AFM ( Active Fuel Management ).

Go Diablosport Trinty 2 all the way. R. Polito South Carolina.

I have a 2019 F150 with the 3. 5 twin turbo, rated at 375HP. I modified the intake with an open filter, which added a bit of power. My wife’s car uses Premium, as do our motorcycles, so I put Premium in my truck also.

Even without a tune, it does help. Then, I bought this. Using the 93 Performance tune, it really adds a lot of zip! It took about 5 minutes to install the tune (and about 5 minutes to revert back when I take it into the dealer for service, don’t forget to do that).

I notice a huge difference in overall kick and definitely smoother shifting. I seems like a whole new truck. I should also note that my gas mileage, with the tune, seems to be a bit better than stock.

SO, this gives me better performance and better mileage. This tool is really worth the price.

2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4. 7 V8. Fast & Easy install, took me about 30 mins total. I have a CAI Intake, Exhaust, and 87 octane tune. Huge improvements noticed right away. Pros- Stronger Shift Points (No power cut out before red line or shifting into next gear), Faster Shifts, Throttle response changed DRASTICALLY.

Quarter gas pedal down will get you moving like if you are accelerating 3/4 down on gas. Gained Low End Power at low rpm’s no need to floor it to get going anymore. Truck does feel Woken Up more Sportier, Bit faster too.

These 4. 7’s come detuned from factory so major upgrade with the Superchips Fa5. I’m extremely Happy with the performance outcome!.

Wasn’t looking for a tuner for any major ‘performance’ gains. Put 35’s on my 14 Ram 8speed. Drove like complete garbage. Figured a normal RC calibrator wouldn’t really give me back the ‘stock’ feeling with the extra weight from the new meat.

I had put 93 gas in the other day and tuned this thing with the 93 tune, set tires to 33. 5 (actual height to top of tire) in adjust settings, the only thing I messed with. All I know is I feel like I’m driving the truck I bought again.

Feels good, shift points feel MUCH tighter and firmer, definitely feel some more ‘go’. There are no other AM upgrades to the truck, bone stock despite plans to do some in the future. So far so good, did exactly what I was looking for.

The reviews for the DS intune were very touch and go for the ‘14, didn’t want to end up with a no start condition so kept it simple.

After install into 2019 Ford F-250 6. 7 did see some big improvement but it started throwing a regen code immediately. Several calls to support and eventually they “submitted a ticket” because nothing worked to stop the code.

When in stock mode, the code doesn’t come back. Followed up several times to no avail. Can’t get money back even though the unit seems to be faulty. Very expensive paper weight and the company obviously doesn’t stand by their product.

Make sure you read the disclaimer at the bottom of the site before buying. Bought this product with the unlock cable. After installing on my truck it seemed as though I had less power. Tried to down load the unlock program and it locked my pick up and would not start.

Had to contact the support group only to find out that this tuner will not work on my truck because it is deleted. Now I can’t return it and I’m stuck with a $500 piece of plastic.

THIS DEVICE IS NOT A DELETE DEVICE LIKE IT SAYS. THIS DEVICE ONLY TUNES YOUR ENGINE. HAD I KNOWN THAT. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT. I HAD TO GO GET MY TRUCK DELETED AND TUNED SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO I ENDED UP PAYING SOMEONE TO DELETE AND TUNE MY TRUCK BECAUSE BULLY DOG HAD FALSE ADVERTISING.

So my 2008 F-250 Super Duty with the 6. 4L Powerstroke displayed a check engine light. Preliminary investigation revealed EGR malfunction. Then a cloud of white smoke out the tail pipe. EGR cooler malfunctioning.

Texas does not require Diesel powered motor vehicles and motorcycles to submit to Emissions testing. So I deleted the whole EGR system to include that blasted cooler and the entire exhaust system. I then plugged in the H&S Mini Max tuner, downloaded the files to the trucks computer.

Started the truck and This truck never responded as well as now. My MPG went from 12 to 17 and the sound of those turbines of the turbo chargers when you turn the truck off sound like a jet!! Some black smoke but only when you accelerate.

But when you accelerate its Unbelievable!!! Oh and it’s on the lowest setting and on stock mode! I won’t even try the Wild Mode! I could increase the HP by a touch of a button but there’s really no reason for that other than racing.

I guess that’s why it’s called a race tuner but you can use it just to tune it and then store it in case you have to download a file or something like that. I’ve had this tuner for about 3 months. I only used it to tune after the deletes.

I haven’t had an issue since! Totally recommend the tuner. Best $600 I’ve spent onmy truck. I’m sure there are cheaper tuners but you will be impressed by this one.

I was nervous to order a 600$ piece of hardware that’s no longer even in buisness. It’s been installed for 3 weeks and is the best thing ever for my 07. 5 ram2500. Installation was a breeze. I went from 13.

5mpg on the display, about 11 hand calc. To 19. 6mpg on the display and 19. 5 hand calc!!! Didn’t expect gains anywhere near this. Pair this with 4″ flo-pro dpf delete pipe to keep the tail pipe stock looking.

The 4″ pipe has just the right tone and volume, 5″tbe will def piss off your neighbor. Install instructions: 1)Install minimaxx (20min) make sure it’s hooked to a key on hot. 2)unplug and disconnect all connections from exhaust (pb blaster and an oxypropane torch were my best friend here for all the threaded connections) 3)drop exhaust from turbo to resonator (save yourself time and struggles and put a jack under the tranny and remove the tranny cross member) 4)install new straight pipe 5)unplug 3 egr plugs 6) on minimaxx select install tuning and the minimaxx will guide you through everything! Downloading tune takes about 10-15min.

And no check engine lights. Oh yeah, don’t scrap your exhaust because you might need it on day.

Bought a H&S for my 2009 duramax, really woke up the truck. I recommend putting a air dog or similar on. You’ll need the extra fuel if you run on performance mode. Had a 2008 duramax two years ago with a original H&S mini max and it was on since new never had any problems.

H&S is the way to go👍.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleI Installed Derringer with no issues. super simple install. Love the tune and seeing real time temps etc. Ran the truck for about a week and half before pulling my 5th wheel on a very long trip.

The trucked pulled great and the temps stayed where they needed. I was loving it! About halfway thru the trip the Idash showed the Darranger was in fault mode. I ran diagnostics and it said I needed to update with latest firmware.

I attempted to do that but the upload would not take after repeated attempts. I then called Banks a few days later and so now waiting on new Derringer. Disappointing, but hoping to see replacement soon, truck ran great when it was operating.

it’s been a week now and still trying to get tracking numbers to see if its shipped yet.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleLove it. This product delivers nice smooth safe power. I upgraded from a Stealth to the Derringer for the additional power and the protections the Derringer system offers.

It also offers lots of expandability with additional sensors as needed. The product is researched and tested. I am happy with the results the package provides.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleGreat addition to my 17 F250 Lariat, I do light towing, just a cargo trailer and motorcycles with camping gear. My truck used to hesitate while towing and sometimes during normal every day driving conditions.

I have personally used both setups available for the derringer, with the switch and the Idash. Highly recommended!!.

Ordered this with aspiration of upgrading to a pro charged motor. The tuner and pcm installation literally took 5 minutes! The suction mount and routing of the tuner was easy as well. The tuner walks you thru each step and in no time I had tuned my vehicle to the 91 octane tune.

Instantly I noticed a quick throttle response and although not Dyno’d I’d say I’ve gained approximately 25 hp. My car was fun to drive in the beginning but now it’s a blast.

Install of the new PCM & Diablosport T2 EX tuner was a breeze. Easy to follow instructions and noticed immediate improvement in performance. Looking forward to getting a custom tune to take full advantage of all the engine upgrades.

fixed the transmission shifting issue in 1st. no more jumping coming to a stop. mds is now off. good additional settings. gauges if you want to keep the tuner mounted.
