I am using the GM connect and cruise pcm. Is HP tuner the way to go? Are there others? What other stuff will it do?

Get with a really good tuner and they can make that trans work awesome with HPT. Just make sure they have experience with tranny tuning.

Spent the day researching HP tuners. I might pop for it as it kind of matches my back ground and we are a little remote here from professional tuners. From what I can see I would need to buy a MPVI2 and two credits. HP tuners don't make it straight forward on their site list showing what is supported as far as crate engines go. Mine is a LT4 8L90 which I purchased new in Sept. 2019. (not on their list) but they support the new LT5 so I assume they do the LT4 8L90?

So I popped for the HP tuners and the first thing I was going to do was adjust the tire/ gear ratio to bring up my cruise rpm (even though I am in the middle of GM's recommendations). Pretty disappointed to find the TCM is locked. Yes I understand I could send it to HPT, WTF! Anyone else running the 8L90 transmission have feedback on their cruise rpm's?

So truck has been sleeping all winter and took it out a couple of days ago. Drove fine until I gave it significant gas and it rev'd then not several times. Came home and has check engine light on PO700 which is a transmission code and P18C2 pending. Also am told shifter positions are PRNDM. Mine and at least 2 others have one more detent, PRNDM? Heard it could be PRNDML?

Have you called GM or talked with a GM performance dealer about it?

I chatted with a GM performance tech today. Says delete codes and see what happens. I asked about the extra shifter detent (2 of my buddies have same) and all I could get from him was don't use it.
