Default Programmer for 2010?

What programmer are you guys using for your 2010? Don't want a tune because it only has 5k miles on it and a lot of warranty left. Also what "bolt ons" won't affect the factory warranty?

I'm using a Diablo sport trinity. I like it, the tires will chirp on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift...and it almost totally disables the traction control and stabilitrack when you hit the TC button. It definitely wakes the truck up.

And actually I am wanting to get HP tuners due to the lack of TCM control with the Diablo....plus I am debating on going Turbo. They're 700 bones new, I am looking for 450 for mine. Its less than 6 months old....if your interested.

I have a '10 Silverado 5.3L BTW.

Programmers void your warranty too. It is just the same as getting a custom tune.

If you are going to blow the warranty, you might as well get a custom tune....

i have the Diablosport Predator. It leaves no footprint or watermark in the computer. I have had them do work on my truck and never knew it was there. Also they have hundreds of tuners to make custom tunes for your truck! If you go on their website and then to forum, you will see all the information! I recommend 06montess (lew) he can hook you up with a custom tune aka Diablew tune. Plus you can return to stock if you need warranty work! I have had sucess with this and highly recommend it.

Yeah but you can remove the program before you take it in to have it looked at when somethin goes wrong. Or can they figure out it's been programmed even with it set back factory? Idk the warranty thing is a crock of **** to me when u can't even put exhaust and a cai.

I'm glad you have all the facts. Because that's obviously not true.

If you were in their shoes, would you? What if some idiot didn't know what he was doing and the tune popped the motor, would you want to be responsible for fixing it for free? Or a lift and larger tires causing tie rods and ball joints to fail prematurely. I highly doubt you would.

If you want to play, you've got to pay.

Well said

Dont kid yourself if they want to check they can tell if the tune has been changed and stock reinstalled .etc

I have a 2010 with 5 k on it .....BlackBear Tune via EFI Auto Cal ......custom tune is only way to go
