HOW TO INSTALL SILVERADO 5.3 TUNER/PROGRAMMER [DIABLO INTUNE i3] 

I ended up getting the diablo sport tuner with the AMS racing AFM delete kit. I had a lifter collapse 30 days after purchasing a 2010 model Silverado and learned about Chevrolet's screw up then. I would say that the diablo is worth the money just for that alone. You still have the parts under the hood which are still prone to fail but it's better than hearing it's going to cost $4,000 to rebuild the motor and that's just to take it back to stock configuration, so essentially just a ticking time bomb waiting to happen yet again. Me and a buddy from work did the rebuild in about 16 hours and deleted the program out of the ECM with the diablo. Now I'm just checking out what all options it has. Chevrolet really screwed the pooch with their AFM/DOD system. All that money and headache just to save 2 to 5% in gas milage when they had a pretty much bullet proof design for decades. No one asked for this option. If I'm buying a V8, I want a V8. No one buys a full size truck and says, "Ya know, I really like the room and towing capacity of this truck but what it really needs..... is to get the gas milage of a 4 banger". I know I'm giving up gas milage for something I can actually use.

How can you dislike a well informative straight forward video like this good stuff dude opened my eyes on the Diablo tune on my Sierra

Got one for my 2012 5.3 and man does it make a difference. Horsepower and torque increase may not be a whole lot but driveablity and gas mileage have improved quite a bit. Drives like a whole different truck especially when you disable DOD

Adding this to my 11 tahoe, heard its best way to avoid dod issues, video was super helpful

Thank you for the step by step process of getting the tune done... Lifesaver for me. Now I know how it works. Cheers!

I was looking at Diablo and a few others. Can’t decide but after watching this I may end up going with the same one for my ‘17 Silverado 5.3L

5.3 should be taking 87 regular gas. That's why I bought a 5.3 Z71 and not a High Country or Denali with the 6.2 taking 93 octane.

Anybody know if you can recalibrate tire size with this unit?

I freaking love race pickups.

I used the tune for a month, worked great , at first. I used the 87 tune changed tire size, AFM delete. I also changed the throttle position from 0 to10 on all gears 5 on WOT. Today my truck went into limp mode code P2135 throttle position sensor, lost power. I put the factory tune back on and the code went away and the truck went back to full power. What did I do wrong?

Can you run 91 and use the diablo flex tune?

Yup... sold Sun! Went and watched the stupidest video on the Edge unit...😂 that DOD delete option alone sold me!

Hey Mac, what happened to your 3 gun videos? I loved them

Do you have to leave the tunner plugged in the OBD port or can you take it off after the tune is completed?

New to this whole tuning thing and really just want afm delete out of it and also to adjust speedometer since it’s not true due to bigger tires I have on my truck.

Thanks for this video! I will receive my DiabloSport 8245 inTune i3 Platinum Performance Programmer 3rd Generation tomorrow for my 2014 Chevy Silverado LTZ 4x4 (5.3L). I bought this for 1) turn off the DOD 4-cylinder mode 2) correct for larger tires 3) increase power with the 87-tune 4) shift points 5) throttle response. I have the stock exhaust and stock heavy duty air intake system that came with the truck. Prob won't mess with doing much more than the tune. Again, thanks for this instructional video...curious if Diablo reached out to you with all your views on this video. They should!

Douse it matter what gas you put in it after you tune it

i just ordered one as i am a new owner of a 2014 1500 silverado 5.3 with the AFM .. I hate it .. so i can not wait to get this

Does this tuner disable the remote start?

Will it help to disable the o2 sensor out I have 5.3 but want true straight pipe, do you have to leave it pluged in?

I'm guessing I can do this kind of tune for my 5.3 grand prix to take off the DOD

I was wondering what happened to you, welcome back.

I have a new 5.3 crate motor installed and was tuned down for warranty purposes. Would this device be best or work to give that original boost back? Thanks in advance!

can u change tire size and change to cold air intake settings?

Great video I have a 2003 Tahoe 5.3, will the Diablo I 3 work with my truck

Does this work for a GMC Sierra 5.3 2004

Great video very informative informative and to the point.Can you tune several vehicles with this or is it a one vehicle use?

Are you able to reload factory tune? I'm in ca so we got strict smog crap so I'd want to be able to reload the stock stuff

Extra gas when you get in the pedal is good. Helps to avoid a momentary condition of extremely lean mixture. All of a sudden you have more air. But the truck has to pump the gas to even it out. Extra gas when you get on the pedal helps you stay at the best mixture so you don’t lean out.

Do you have to do this adjustments every time you go out for a drive? Or is there an option where it saves your settings? Get in and go.

Hi, we are wanting to know what performance chip is ideal for pulling a 26 ft travel trailer with a 2016 Chevy 2500 HD. Mountainous area. Thank you

Getting with DiabLew and getting a custom tune you can install using the intune3 will really bring the truck to where it should be which is saying alot because the diablo canned tune is pretty damn great, I did a package deal for the intune3 and custom tune, couldn't be happier it's worth every penny.

Does that work a new trucks or any type of vehicle? I have an 2001 chevy silverado 1500

How is the diablo tune holding up after a year now ? Looking at installing on a 07 avalanche. Thanks

how many vehicles can you use 1 unit with?

How hard is it to set back to factory settings for service at dealership I have a brand new truck

why not just have someone tune truck for you ? wouldn't that be cheaper? I cant see purchasing a tuner and never using it again

Thank you for posting this video. Found it very helpful

Is it preprogrammed, you don't have to hook it up to a computer? So you just plug and adjust

Was this man doing breathing exercises during the upload ?

Have you tried out the MPG boost setting on it? If so how much better are the MPG’s after tuning it? I have 2015 high country with the 5.3 and I currently have a job where I have to drive around 150 miles or so a day, so saving some MPG’s would be advantageous for me while gas is as high as it is.

What tune on this device do you recommend for big 33in tires.

Mac is back! was looking at my sub channels and noticed it has been a long time since you posted. hoping you will continue your awesome vids.

So if I already have the 93 octane tune installed in my truck do I have to put it back to the factory tune before I change to the Diablo tune and change other things? Or can I just plug in and change the tune.

What’s the most Like aggressive tune they got?

Mac, Good to see a video from you again. You still shooting 3-gun? If so, what guns & mods are you currently using? Happy new Years and Best Regards

the speedo calibration does it allow you to change the tire size?

Mine is on its way can't wait to try it out

Can u use this for multiple vehicles and still have a the same back up

Hey man I got a 2013 gmc 1500 with a cam in jt what chip should I get brother

Would this work if I was replacing my 4.8 with a 5.3 I need a tune according to my mechanic but everybody around me wants $800+ for a tune

Is it the same on 2012 4.8 Silverado ?

Will doing this reset the IM drive monitors? Will I need to do a drive cycle?

Right after the time, the anti theft light came on for my 2018 Chevy Silverado any help to disable this? Anyone else experience this?

2021 is this still good for 2011 Silverado

Where did you buy it from?

I was just looking for some of your vids the other day. Any upcoming 3 gun videos ?

This will work on a 2015 sierra with the 5.3 right?

Missed your vids man.

Helped me alot , thanx man.

Is this the platinum model or no?

If you’re in Atlanta message me I disable these every day of the week!

Is there anything available for the new body style?

Can I use this on more than one truck?

Will it change top speed limiter

Question, the way you did it deletes the AFM right?

Do i have to disconnect the radio first?

Did the DOD delete ?

So once tuned does the device need to remain plugged in?

Mac!! Are the gun videos going to return? Hope all is well brother!

Can u use the diablo chip on other trucks or just one truck

So how do you update the tuner when you get it I'm a little confused??

You run the update on a mac it look like? Any issues? Some have reported issues with ignition on mac. Just wondering what to expect, my i3 arrives in a couple days

Do void warranty by doing this

can you use this for many cars or just for 1

Does anybody know if 8246 programmer will work on a 18 Tahoe 6.2L 10 speed?

Anyone know if this is the Diablo i3 8200 or the platinum 8245 ?

Is this tuned safe? And does it work with a 2017 and 2018 Silverado 5.3?

Great review. Always gonna have someone crying about something. (Crybaby whining about background music, guess he wanted to listen to breathe.) Clear and concise, thanks for your time.

How much did it cost?

Where you at ??? Miss your videos.

can you tune more then 1 truck with this .. ? does it give you a option to store more then 1 trucks stock tune ?

Does that take off the speed limiter on the truck

I just got mine I’ve updated the tuner to my computer and try to tune my car 2018 silverado 1500 5.3L, it read and then it say one or more ECU update needed, i went back go to computer and check update and it said your device is up to date and go back to my car and try it again and it do the same thing, one or more ECU need update.

Hello :) When you come back with real 3gun tips or any competition movie ?? :) Regards

Did you have to pull any fuses?

What’s up long time no see! Lol Still got that Mk18 I hope? Nice video I think most of us red blooded Americans like our go fast stuff.

nice backround music

Any updates?

Does it work with the 4.8?

GREAT VIDEO

Good video but for me the music in back ground is a distraction.

BullittMcQueen , are you still shooting 3 gun?
