Cooling fans coming on max after cold engine start, stays on till engine shutdown
To the OP: I may have missed it, but your temp gauge in the SUV is about as worthless as a dummy gauge. Replace the ECT sensor on the drivers side cylinder head with a "good" one ... Make sure your coolant is good and you don't have any air pockets.. that will trigger the fans to be on as well.- Foggy

HEADERS, MANIFOLDS & CATS
If your engine itself is stock (no cam, head work, stroker, forced induction) then IMO you would be wasting a lot of money to change out the manifolds for headers. There WILL be more expense than just the headers. You won't gain anything with headers until you have a custom tune done to take...- Foggy

Towing
I've got the appropriate modification to tow this much. Not everything is in my signature !!! I wouldn't tow this heavy if I believed I was unsafe in any manner. Unfortunately the plan was to travel more but life has gotten in the way. I used to tow this travel trailer with my 94 C1500...- Foggy

Running A CVC BU60FHD Converter with Zeroed-Out Clutch Slip Target -- Any Advice/Experience?
Just to add, the converter slip is there mostly to do with the DOD/AFM so make sure you turn that crap off FIRST before you do any trans tuning- Foggy

Running A CVC BU60FHD Converter with Zeroed-Out Clutch Slip Target -- Any Advice/Experience?
If you are going to use HPTuners, then you can get rid of TC lockup in gears 1-3 (some people do 4th too/ I don't). Zero out the slip in 5th & 6th gears. Bring the upshift (shift scheduling) tables up quite a bit so you're not hunting gears so much. Adjust the TCC lockup on the same curve...- Foggy

Turbo and adding snow performance
We just don't have good E85 around here at all... Some crappy E85... So I'm staying on gasoline. And yeah,, I'd have to reinvent the wheel so to speak to go to E85 The meth injection is a great product. I picked up quite a bit on my SBC - Vortech setup - no intercooler- Foggy

Turbo and adding snow performance
YUP Methanol Injection is good stuff. I used the snow that had the handheld programer/info. You can adjust when the boost juice comes on in a "ramp up" stage. You'll need a good vacuum/boost source and a place to install the tank, pump and the inline solenoid AND the regular...- Foggy

OK.. I guess i missed that... So you really just need to get it adjusted correctly. It takes some time and experimentation.. But if it's "overrated" for your app it may be difficult to dial it in correctly.- Foggy

https://www.etrailer.com/Weight-Distribution-Hitch/Fastway/FA94-00-1061.html Here is a fastway that's cheaper . Make sure you get the new ball as they only work with the specific system. You prob don't need the 4 point sway with that camper. The 2 point sway is prob just fine I only did...- Foggy

What you are referring to as "sway bars" are not.. They are weight distribution bars. If you are using 15K WDH (weight dist hitch) for a 6K trailer, you prob will never get it in the sweet spot. You could sell that set and go to a 7500 or 10,000 lb system and be way better off... Then...- Foggy

Engine and gearbox swap from four speed to six or eight speed on 2008 Z71 ?
Just my 2 cents... the 8 speed is a POS... some of it due to design, some due to programming etc... Too many problems to waste your time and money on- Foggy

Cold Air Intake for the most power??
I've tried diff ones on my Yuk and on several other cars over the years. I finally decided on the MIT tube only for the Yukon... The OE filter box IS A CAI !!!! I have a good " green filter" in there (it came with my supercharger that is now gone)... I've looked at my IAT's quite a bit...- Foggy
