I have the identical 5.3 in my 2012 Sierra 1500. Been running super chips performance 93 octane tune with all my parameters maxed out. I bought the truck new and have 191,000 miles which are 80 percent highway miles. Never not one time any issues hands down period. I bought the truck new and installed the tune the day after. I have been running this tuner since 2012 so the truck is 6 yrs old with no problems. If you do not have a check engine light then there is no codes to be found. This tuner does read and clear codes as well. I personally know myself these engines do not like bad gas. Super chips doesn’t max out your timing it only advances it in a safe increment. You could run your gas to almost empty and refill at another place like shell or another reputable place with 93 octane and put 2 cans of sea foam in the tank. I hope this helps. As always another great video from my favorite UA-cam channel. Stay blessed
What a waste of time this video, 17 minutes for you to feel like it or leave the lining to expose what you say in the title of the video, .. what a disgusting video ,. dislike a million times. cagon!
Oh yeah that 6.2 has some power I would rather start with 400 hp then do mods. A few years ago the 6.2 Chevy won a truck shootout for speed in a test by one of the consumer report type test
If it rains a lot or you wash your engine then I can almost bet you have condensation or standing water in your knock sensors. The 5.3l is bad about it. The only way to check is to remove the intake. The knock sensors are shorted and don't react on time. I'm a ASE mechanic of 28 years and seen it many times. If they are wet replace both and wiring harness. Also suggest to put silicone on the rubber cover that protects them to prevent further issues. Hope it solves your problem if you still have it.
Sometimes it may not be the fuel by any means and I’m sure the super chip conversation cleared some things up, but excess carbon build up on the top of ur pistons can also change compression height and can also cause hot spots within the engine cause pre detonation, but I doubt that’s the case as seeing how well u take care of ur truck, just don’t forget to run some seafoam or Techron through ur truck every so often to clean that engine up 👌🏻 👍🏻
I have a 12 5.3 with a Hypertech programmer and it completely changed my truck. Throttle response is signicantly improved, shifts are quicker and firmer, and managed to come away with about an additional 1mph running 33's. 146,000 miles and still purrs like a kitten. Just starting watching your videos about a month ago, love em.
Im wondering where you get your gas. I want to know if its actually 91 or just 87 put in the 91 tanks. oh and theres like a 70-30 mix of actual context vs mindless not related. Very hard to watch./
I agree with the boys below. If this is flex fuel tuned, that's your problem. One sure easy way to verify this cheaply and actually see with your own eyes is, buy an obd2 scanner with data live. You can get one for $20 or less on ebay an use the torque app and watch with your smart phone. It's only $3.00 for the full version. You can see exactly what your timing is and isn't advancing to with and without the tune installed. I have the dashpaq in my 15 and I've had 3 other previous trucks and superchips models with never any issue. I garentee, you'll see the problem right away.
I know this a tad bit late but I am no mechanic just a wrench head enthusiast as yourself, I don’t know how you get your oil changes done but I myself do mine and I use sea foam in the crankcase and Intake manifold to really clean out the engine. Only thing I can think of is there could just be build up in the engine thus going full throttle your engine components don’t have the freedom to move faster than they normally would at low rpm which could be the cause of your problem. They’re being restricted in movement. I could be wrong but either way try out seafoam you’ll be surprised how much white smoke you’ll see from build up we have no idea is in there
i purchase a new 2019 ram.i used the "pedal comander".the first month fine by the 3nd month "Ses"light came on and it surged when i took my foot of the brake.i pulled over in a parking lot,disconnected it and plug back into the stock connectors.it ran perfect and no more issues.your right"stay away from these box kits".get it done by someone locale.who is right there in your area!if you need help!
Sometimes was hard to the pinging on video sound. But from experience, i used hypertec max energy for every chevy i had. It worked great on my 4.8L 2008 silverado and a 2007 chevy tahoe 5.3L and now it is on a 2007 silverado with 5.3L and all with same tuner and nothing wrong. Read on some comments where someone said could be an exhaust leak. Well it will be noticable at first start up. Also i see you have a top on your K&N. With a tuner, the air is sucking in more and need all air possible. I usually took my top off. Tons of things you can check too. Plus see if it is actually the motor pinging and not a lose heat shield on anything. But i could be wrong since you say it does not make the sound while in stock mode. So try a couple of things like different programmers or checking the wires. Since a high milage truck maybe mass aiflow sensor cant handle the air coming in. Just a few things to check out on your own before taking a shop and spending mula on shop time for them to tell you nothing wrong with it.
I appreciate the insight. I'll be trying out a few things. The minute I switch back to stock tune I can run WOT without any issues so it is the tune. Could be the cover on the intake...
Have you considered the Hypertech Max Energy Spectrum Power Programmer? They run hundreds of dyno pulls, track and street testing. They've been in business a lot longer than Superchips too. Proven products.
Years ago, I had a 86 trans am and never did a tune on it, but it always used 93, from the day I got it and if you put anything lower it would choke, knock and ping until you put 93 back in it. for some reason it was use to the 93 and would not except anything else
Bro I use super chips on my mustang and never had an issue.. Something you may want to check if your millage is high is your cam sensor it could cause a knock like that especially if your getting to much load for it... And it would do it with that tune... 5.3 are notorious for odd sounds. Best of luck to ya brahdah aloha.
Sounds more like a lifter tick mine does that sometimes under heavy acceleration on original tune verry comon with 5.3s. As well as using alittle oil all issues are a common trait of the 5.3.
i think you need to really "work" on a vehicle to give advice on if you truck is fucked up or not. You i know for a fact have never taken an engine apart or anything on a vehicle.
I have a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 4.8L stock motor it's Lifted 6" with 4:56 gears and installed the 4L65E with billet torque converter and running on 35" tires , I ran super chips tuner same thing was happening I was getting pinging or pre detonation as well put back to stock mode
That knock and ping is absolutely normal for 4.8 and 5.3's under acceleration........ If you read your owners manual it tells you that is totally normal for that noise to happen under acceleration
I tuned 2007 suburban with superchip flashpaq tuner and I did not face any problems. It seems your engine blown because of other things not because of Superchip tuning. I hope you get your facts right bro.
Get a black bear performance tune. Look them up specific for gym vehicles. With monitoring of all parameters like your looking for. You will be happy and there very helpful
It's the tuner, it is over advancing your timing. Dumb question but you do have the 5.3 not the smaller engine right? The small v8 hates tuners , either way your best option is a shop that has a dyno that can do a custom tune exactly for your truck with a laptop. Hopefully your able to return that tuner as it is incompatible with your truck. Good luck and enjoy that beautiful weather as here in p.a we head into our wonderful snow filled winter.
If you read instruction manual of that tuner you will see that it asks to unplug ALL non stock electronics . Unplug your after market radio deck , revert back to stock , then try to tune it again. Connect your radio back.That will most likely fix the issue . Good luck man
Up The Creek I have one too check my page but I ordered the diablo i3 tuner since my truck has an issue when I’m at a light or stopped in drive my rpm goes from 500 rpm to 550 to 460ish rpm and when it goes down it makes the engine hesitate. What would be a safe rpm to set my tuner at idle? 600 rpm or a little higher? Thanks will receive the tuner Tuesday
I have 99 grand cherokee with a 4.7 installing superchips 91 octane tune ruined my engine. I heard the knocking but didn't care and there were pits on several pistons. I rebuilt the engine the tune still knocks. Decided to run the 87 tune and can't hear no knocking but still there's knocking that the human ear can't hear.
You do realize the K&N air filter you have is the cause of your pinging right?? It flows more air than stock and may be loading your MAF with false read if over oiled or too close or far away from stock location. You’re not technically stock as your fuel air mixture is changed. The tuner is looking for stock air flow to modify and is not able to see those parameters. Put the stock air filter back in then add the tuners parameters and allow the tuner to adjust air flow
Superchips advertise their tunes are compatible with cold air intakes. Plus the MAF and O2 sensors should compensate. What I don't understand is why the knock sensors never compensate on knocking. My systers 5.3 Tahoe was knocking under slight load uphill climb and it went away when I told her to start using premium high octane fuel.
gunguy02 he might decide to put headers or even a cam and having NGK spark plugs are good for that type of setup he might spend the extra money if he decides to cam it out
Thank you for making this follow up video. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. Would there be a different brand of box tuner you would go with if you could do it over? Or would you just get a custom tune?
Your truck might call for say it's better with 87 octane, and you are already close to causing tics by running 93 all the time, next they say to start with small tune and work your way up , not go straight to performance
Hey to help you Silverado try E3 spark plugs. I put them in my Silverado and runs amazing. It doesn’t allow them to miss. They are alittle more expensive but worth it.
Can u explain on why not to use stock w/ options? The reason I ask is cuz I have done that but just enabled afm. Since then been getting a p0700 Code ( which is a transmission module control) thx in advance
@@michaelortiz4978 There's too many "fine points" with stockw/opts. Even with the factory stock saved, a conflict with the tunes may require a recovery which can get complicated. It really shouldn't be an option because most people have limited tuner knowledge
@@michaelortiz4978 Just use the performance op, install without modification at first and evaluate from there. Always save your factory tune so you can reset if needed. Stock w/opts can put your truck in the shop for real. Also, get a throttle responder, the TBW sucks. get the K & N throttle module. it's a good throttle control with several settings. No HP gains, but the response is so good and violent, you'll swear you gained 100+ HP
I had the same thing on my 03 silverado, I also installed the performance tune from superchip, I had the same problem with it. Using full syntactic oil fixed my problem. The engine knocking went away. Good luck
I dont wanna hurt your stats so im not going to 👎 this video...but i am only giving it a a 👎because it didnt workout for you NOT because of your content...great video!!!
What year truck you have? Mines a 2019 and they want $700 for it and I have to send in my ecm. Don’t feel comfortable with this and I don’t think it’s worth $700
Mines been fine dude I had the 91 octane and used 91 never had a problem now if your truck has afm and you didn’t turn afm off when putting on the tune yeah it’s gonna fuck your engine. My Camaro I have now did not like being programmed with afm still on
Wish more people were as willing to teach as you are I would kill to have someone teach me about tuning have been doing most of my own mechanic work since my very first vehicle but not having anyone to teach me about tuning and not wanting to destroy my beautiful truck has kept me from messing with it in that department #joysofgrowingupwithnofathertolearnfrom
Is your truck a flex fuel truck? If it is that’s the issue. The virtual sensor for the flex fuel already tunes the engine to maximum timing for the fuel being used. The tuner is just adding a few degrees of timing that’s alread on the truck.
This I have to believe is incorrect the only thing that flex fuel really is is being able to mix more then one type of fuel without problems to the engine and although the virtual sensor is more efficient with fuel and air ratio doesn’t mean it’s at its top performance depending on what you are using it for, it’s just a stock tune by the company it’s not the latest and the most updated tune, like with bullydog programmer it has tunes updated for all types of vehicles for the best performance almost every half year so that wouldn’t be the case because there are different tunes for different situations like if you want to have a better tow power without sacrificing a lot of gas there is a tune for that and performance is the same for racing or just for a little more boost a mpgs so this wouldn’t be the case due to tunes being updated frequently even for the latest vehicles, sorry for the long paragraph but I had to feel the need to lay out this information all though I could be wrong but I feel like it’s not and I’m ASE certified in engine performance and engine repair
ITSJB I’ve seen the before and after timing tables from my flex fuel truck when tuned on hp tuners. On e85 the tuner was only able to add ,5 deg of total advance. Just because your ASE certified doesn’t mean jack shit in the aftermarket tuning world. Go back to changing parts because a computer told you to.
brian hilligoss ok so even tho I studied and worked in Auto Tech for years now and being ASE certified in engine repairs and engine performance doesn’t mean I know anything about tuning? Yeah stfu flex fuel isn’t designed to perform at its best with the best timing adjustments it’s just not maybe depending on the model and year and being stock (assuming your truck) may already be pretty much at its peak but what about modified exhaust and other aftermarket mods to the truck can definitely require it to be tuned like the exhaust if you run straights throws off O2 sensor readings and can cause your engine to burn rich instead and my truck wasn’t the best it can be even with stock everything only getting 15 mpg with a tuned engine I got 19 mpg and 25+ horsepower so tell me again about what you were saying?
Have you tried unplugging your radio when you tune? Most turners tell u to unplug all non stock features like the radio or els it will mess up the tune.
Same tuner on same motor if you don't run the right amount of 91 it will do this run it almost empty then put 93 in it and give it 3 or 4 times wide open the sound will go away just the truck not used to a new tune
My 07.5 has the 5.3l with active fuel management system, I also run an edge power programmer, I run it with the Econ tune and I accumulate an average of 17.8mpg.
Sell the tuner, look into black bear performance. One of, if not the best tuner for GM products. www.blackbearperformance.com/ They have a tuning solution that will work for you, giving you a custom tune for you truck to prevent stuff like this from happening. Also, look into the knock sensors, I believe there were some issues with them on these trucks.
If your installing an 91 octane tune it’s pretty obvious you have to use 91 octane fuel!!!!

Newer trucks have to have a unlocked PCM.
it's a Rev limiter your truck thinks it's over the limit.try to tale out the rev limiter.
Super chips will give you codes

I rebuilt the engine the tune still knocks. Decided to run the 87 tune and can't hear no knocking but still there's knocking that the human ear can't hear.
How many miles on this truck?
i have heard with an after market radio a tuner can cause problems if you don't disconnect it, don't know if its true
Idiots usually ruin their engines.
Maybe wouldn’t knock if if you didn’t run it like dog shit two seconds after tuning it should have let it sit and idle like it say in the instructions

Lots of comments about the Diablo sport. Seems like a good one.
HP turners is a good one as well. Been running it for about a year now with no issues.
Dont necessarily blame the tuner you could be maxing out your injectors not getting a proper afr.

Stock w/opts can put your truck in the shop for real. Also, get a throttle responder, the TBW sucks. get the K & N throttle module. it's a good throttle control with several settings. No HP gains, but the response is so good and violent, you'll swear you gained 100+ HP
You obviously messed with some settings that made this happen. This is all on you bud.
My super chips works great in my 09 silverado
What’s the speed limit ?. Does it change cuz my 2015 top speed
Is 95mph I hate that shit I wana go over 110 120 tops
@@JP_94 yes you can up the speed limiter..it let's my 08 ram1500 4.7l to have a limit of 185. factory setting was 125..
I had the same thing on my 03 silverado, I also installed the performance tune from superchip, I had the same problem with it. Using full syntactic oil fixed my problem. The engine knocking went away. Good luck
Your problem sounds more like hydraulic lifter problem.
What wheels are those by chance?
Moto Metal 962 18x10 -24offset
Maybe learn how to read plugs??
its because your not runnin 91 or higher
Stop using cheap 87. And add more octane to you fuel and no more knocking. Or check whst type of oil you using. Nice truck good luck
Wondering how you keep your engine bay so clean, what procedures do you do?
Lots of rags and armorall
I dont wanna hurt your stats so im not going to 👎 this video...but i am only giving it a a 👎because it didnt workout for you NOT because of your content...great video!!!
They have F5 FlashPaq Tuners now would you still recommend it or no?
What year truck you have? Mines a 2019 and they want $700 for it and I have to send in my ecm. Don’t feel comfortable with this and I don’t think it’s worth $700
Send it back and go with Diablo. There’s a guy named Lew that does custom tunes using the data logging with the Diablo tuner.
Agree, Diablo Lew has a website & does custom tunes preloaded on a new unit. Plus he'll upgrade as you add upgrades.
Mines been fine dude I had the 91 octane and used 91 never had a problem now if your truck has afm and you didn’t turn afm off when putting on the tune yeah it’s gonna fuck your engine. My Camaro I have now did not like being programmed with afm still on
Superchips customer service and knowledge of their products and it being able to help you troubleshoot issues is absolutely horrible.
Love the truck, I have a 13 Sierra.
Is your rado lifted? It sits real nice
And what tire size are you running?
Buy Hp tuners and i'll help teach you some things, teaching yourself how to tune it isn't that difficult and it's very rewarding.
Wish more people were as willing to teach as you are I would kill to have someone teach me about tuning have been doing most of my own mechanic work since my very first vehicle but not having anyone to teach me about tuning and not wanting to destroy my beautiful truck has kept me from messing with it in that department #joysofgrowingupwithnofathertolearnfrom
What springs do you have on the front of your truck? I've got a 2013 with a 6in but it has spacers (PO installed).
Stock springs (just painted blue to look aftermarket...)
Noticed you still have your license plate holder in the front, why not remove it?
have to keep the front license plate on in Hawaii.
You did not unplug all your aftermarket components
Is your truck a flex fuel truck? If it is that’s the issue. The virtual sensor for the flex fuel already tunes the engine to maximum timing for the fuel being used. The tuner is just adding a few degrees of timing that’s alread on the truck.
I appreciate the insight. That might be it.
This I have to believe is incorrect the only thing that flex fuel really is is being able to mix more then one type of fuel without problems to the engine and although the virtual sensor is more efficient with fuel and air ratio doesn’t mean it’s at its top performance depending on what you are using it for, it’s just a stock tune by the company it’s not the latest and the most updated tune, like with bullydog programmer it has tunes updated for all types of vehicles for the best performance almost every half year so that wouldn’t be the case because there are different tunes for different situations like if you want to have a better tow power without sacrificing a lot of gas there is a tune for that and performance is the same for racing or just for a little more boost a mpgs so this wouldn’t be the case due to tunes being updated frequently even for the latest vehicles, sorry for the long paragraph but I had to feel the need to lay out this information all though I could be wrong but I feel like it’s not and I’m ASE certified in engine performance and engine repair
ITSJB I’ve seen the before and after timing tables from my flex fuel truck when tuned on hp tuners. On e85 the tuner was only able to add ,5 deg of total advance. Just because your ASE certified doesn’t mean jack shit in the aftermarket tuning world. Go back to changing parts because a computer told you to.
I agree completely! The fuel composition sensor adjusts timing, as well as amount of fuel, as the pump and injectors are high flow.
brian hilligoss ok so even tho I studied and worked in Auto Tech for years now and being ASE certified in engine repairs and engine performance doesn’t mean I know anything about tuning? Yeah stfu flex fuel isn’t designed to perform at its best with the best timing adjustments it’s just not maybe depending on the model and year and being stock (assuming your truck) may already be pretty much at its peak but what about modified exhaust and other aftermarket mods to the truck can definitely require it to be tuned like the exhaust if you run straights throws off O2 sensor readings and can cause your engine to burn rich instead and my truck wasn’t the best it can be even with stock everything only getting 15 mpg with a tuned engine I got 19 mpg and 25+ horsepower so tell me again about what you were saying?
Welcome to the Midwest
Have you tried unplugging your radio when you tune? Most turners tell u to unplug all non stock features like the radio or els it will mess up the tune.
Same tuner on same motor if you don't run the right amount of 91 it will do this run it almost empty then put 93 in it and give it 3 or 4 times wide open the sound will go away just the truck not used to a new tune
dood get red of those acdelcos and get e3's you'll see a difference.
Maybe it's an exhaust leak, perhaps the headers or cats.
Video doesn't start until 3:28
Id say change shift points
Private closed course. Sureee.
But to be real, I was considering superchip for my 2011 Sierra. But I think I'll pass after watching this
It has to be related to the cylinder deactivation feature.
This '07 didn't come with that option. v8 all the time
My 07.5 has the 5.3l with active fuel management system, I also run an edge power programmer, I run it with the Econ tune and I accumulate an average of 17.8mpg.
My 07 has the 5.3 with afm.
And you put 92 in, not 93.
Sell the tuner, look into black bear performance. One of, if not the best tuner for GM products. www.blackbearperformance.com/ They have a tuning solution that will work for you, giving you a custom tune for you truck to prevent stuff like this from happening. Also, look into the knock sensors, I believe there were some issues with them on these trucks.
Jesus dont want to see your whole day i clicked to see the flashpaq tuner review🙄. Great vlog but relabel the video. Did alot of skipping around
