tuner for 2018 sierra 1500 denali 6.2

Post by HackitZ »

Hi all.
I have a 2018 sierra 1500 Denali with the 6.2. still under warranty.
I'm looking at 2 tuners, the INTUNE 3 PLATINUM and the TRINITY 2 (T2 EX) PLATINUM.

other than having a video screen with the trinity 2, whats the difference?
also with the trinity 2 anyone have any custom install pics. i really don't want it on my windshield.

I read to remove tune and go back to stock before bringing the truck to the dealer. will this 100% not mess up my warranty? will they know?

I also have the pedal commander, can both be used? or is having both kinda redundant?

I also have the pedal commander, can both be used? or is having both kinda redundant? Both can be used, but the tuner offers throttle adjust as well.

I always tell people, if you're worried about the warranty, don't mod. Although legally they cannot void anything for modding, some manufacturers, or especially dealers, like to try to. Then you get caught up with possible legal fees and all the other bullshit, which can get pricey. Gotta pay to play. If you aren't prepared to deal with it, or possibly pay for your own repairs, don't mod. Personally, I relish it. I LOVE it when they give me shit. Gives me a chance to show them up, and make sure it never happens again.
Only time it sucks is when you really have no option with other dealers, because when you show them up, you are absolutely going to burn your bridge with that dealer. Thats what I'm having issues with right now. My three closest BMW dealers are all the same dealer, with different locations (Fields), so burning the bridge with one, would burn it with all of them, and screw me over. So when they started with the mod issue, I just paid the bill.

With the Trinity 2 can you adjust settings or tunes on the fly. not driving just when parked.
Also saw a few videos, has the screen freezing been fixed? Saw it can freeze after using remote start, normal starting stopping.
Tnx

No tuning on the fly...
Freezing issues are long gone, you should not have any issues there.

custom tuning is handled through our cmr tuners, they can do it via email no problem.
No options for unlocking the TCM unfortunately.
