Hey guys, Just a quick question, has anybody done the Blackbear tune to there 08 and up GM 6.0? Just wondering if you have post results if you can please. I am looking at the hand held custom tune ...

KW/00 will you post up some mileage numbers if you can keep your foot out of the skinny pedal? I should be able to tune my suburban today. I had been "tuned" by a guy local but I know the Blackbear tune would be better than his tune. If I pick up some MPGs then I will be ecstatic.
Also, on another note, did you know that the electric fans on the 07+ 1/2 ton trucks and SUVs fit ours as well? You would want the 7/9 blade fan configuration not the 5/7 blade from the 05 and 06 trucks. Blackbear can turn on/tune in the fans in the ECM and all you would need is a harness made by Nelson Performance. Less drag on the engine because you get rid of the clutch fan and increased cooling especially at idle or stopped.
One guy on another forum said he watched the trans temps drop while at stop lights towing his boat to the lake with his 2500 Sub! Temps never went about 205 with the fans on. Just an option you might consider. I figured if it can cool down a 6.2L Denali then it can cool me down as well!
I was wondering about the electric fan thing. Looking thru some of the GM online parts web sites I saw an electric fan listed for the 2500 Series 07 and up Silverados. It came up with a "towing option".
However - I've seen conflicting reports on whether or not the electric fan conversion is a good idea. On both the 6.0L and the Duramax 6.6L engines supposedly the engine driven fan pulls way more air than even the best electric fan.
