I guess there is no issue. I thought I was supposed to do something else to it, but I guess it did what it was supposed to do. :P

When I found the manual, that helped. RTFM

Re: Octane Needs at Higher Altitude

If you are over 3k feet, I'd try 2 octane numbers lower and datalog it looking for knock retard events.
That's the plan. Just starting to look at how to log. Thought about doing it last night, but it was late when I realized I could do that.

Just starting to learn what this thing can do. My first ...

Re: Octane Needs at Higher Altitude

. . . with that kind of distance to get to work I'd be more concerned with my pocket book and I'd use the 87 octane tune with the least expensive good fuel I could find.
That's kind of where I'm stuck right now. I put the 91 octane Diablo tune on my truck temporarily, just to try it. Never had any ...

Octane Needs at Higher Altitude

In different areas of the country, different octane ratings are sold as Regular Unleaded, Unleaded Plus, and Super Unleaded.
What they sell in a given area is, I believe, determined by altitude.

As you go up in altitude, the air is less dense.
Less dense air makes your engine less likely to knock ...

Re: Lost - Help

I'm not sure what I was expecting it to do.
Maybe it's done all it's supposed to?

I know the tech support guys won't be in until tomorrow, but if someone could tell me whether or not what I'm seeing looks normal to them, it'll help.

I probably won't be able to mess with this during business hours ...

Re: 2011 Silverado 1500 5.3 33" tires speedometer is off st

Tires tend to be a little smaller than what they say they are. And they vary from brand to brand. Same size stamped on the sidewall from two different brands will be two different sizes. Like shoes, you may wear one size in one brand of shoes and a slightly different size in another brand.

And in ...

inTune On My '04 Silverado

I bought and installed inTune yesterday after much procrastination.

With a little trial and error playing with the tire sizes, I got my speedometer calibrated to agree with my GPS.

I filled up with high-octane gas so I could try the setting that requires it. Ever since I put on the larger tires ...
