in the programmer and reinstalled into the vehicle’s computer. This process returns the computer to factory stock and resets the programmer to allow the user to reprogram the vehicle AFTER repairs or service. Why Is It Necessary To Return To The Stock Tuning? The reason that this should be done is because the factory diagnostic equipment will only recognize factory calibration information.
ATTEMPTING TO PROGRAM A DIFFERENT VEHICLE Code 0125: VIN Mismatch will appear if attempting to program the computer in another vehicle without first programming the last vehicle it was used on back to stock. Return the previous vehicle back to stock, following the Back To Stock procedure in Section 2. UPDATE REQUIRED There are several instances where an update may be required to use the programmer. The following codes require an update. The programmer will display a message that it needs to be updated.
speeds, which can lead to better fuel economy. With the optimization focused on the specific fuel octane for each tune, you should see fuel mileage increases with all octane levels. TOWING All Hypertech tunes are optimized for towing. The Max Energy tuning is the only tuning on the market that doesn’t have to offer limited power tunes for fuel economy or towing levels. Our tuning is safe for hauling and towing the maximum weight designated by the vehicle’s manufacturer.
or Stage 2. The best way to determine the tune that will give you the best fuel economy is to try each setting. TRANSMISSION TUNING Allison Transmissions (2001-2007 LB7, LLY, LBZ): The Allison transmission and controller on the LB7, LLY, and LBZ GM diesel trucks is a very complicated piece of technology. The controller is constantly monitoring the transmission performance and adjusts the operating pressures in small increments to ensure the longevity of the transmission.
curve. When you extend the engine’s rpm range with the Max Energy 2.0, your engine has more power available after gear changes. And by keeping the engine in the “sweet spot” of its power curve, you can increase the average horsepower that accelerates the vehicle. TOP SPEED This feature lets you electronically raise your vehicle’s top speed limiter to match the speed rating of factoryapproved high-performance tires, or lower the top-speed limiter from 25 to 75 MPH.
These settings are totally subjective, and based on user feel, or by the time slip at the track. For shift point optimizing, test only one (1) shift point at a time until the best RPM shift point is found for each. The shift point adjustment range is +/-500 RPM in approximately 100 RPM increments for each of the shift points for the vehicle. If changes are made to the shift points, the rev limiter must also be adjusted accordingly (See chart below).
1. Install the Tuner Update Software. The Tuner Update Software can be installed on any Windows based PC from the same CD that these instructions are located, or it can be downloaded from the Hypertech website at the link below.
