Well a good tuner would have changed the injector data I would hope. Otherwise, even with a dyno tune for power, daily driving will be off if the flow rate is being calculated incorrectly. Which can cause surging. Where is your wide band when cruising in closed loop?
I have noticed a pressure issue with certain filters. I always run a ac Delco now. But during the vid there was a couple times I couldn't get them so I ran the orielly filters and had the exact same symptoms he is describing. Try switching the wix for a Delco. I know wix are good, but it is...
Well the big thing I see is did you get a tune for the 6.0 to run the flex injectors? The 6.0 injectors are 24ish lb/hr flow vs the flex 33lb/hr. So if you didn't get a tune to offset the extra flow, you are completely relying on the ecm to adjust by reading the O2 sensors. I'm fairly surprised...
So probably not Duramax diesel oil... but DuraMAX off brand generic oil. No experience with it so I can't Comme t on quality. But, I would do some googling and see what people's experiences are with it.
Nothing fancy just filled it up and went to visit the kid at college. Head wind the whole way there 16.6 mpg at 70mph. Tail wind the whole way home and got 22.5 mpg at 70
M35A2 powered by a Hercules Multifuel inline 6. Nine to ten mpg on straight diesel, 6 to 7 with a mixture of used motor oil, old atf, and 80-90 thinned with gasoline.
It is so refreshing to see that guys here understand the whole point of a catch can. A member of another forum I am on asked a similar question and whoo boy. Let me tell you there are a few "Old heads" ( and I'm not exactly young), that will rip into you over this subject. "If you need a...
I have the amazon cheapo ones on both the Silverado and Tahoe.
Tahoes catches about 4 ounces over the 3000 mile oil change interval.
The Silverado on the other hand.... gets about 2 to 3 ounces every tank of gas. So 400 to 500 miles. Depending on highway or town miles. So yeah. They work at...
This here. If it stays while unpowered the clutch is damaged. You can replace it without removing the compressor. I've don't that on my Silverado.
If it disengages, move to the fuse box and pull the relay. See if it disengages. If so swap the relay with maybe the horn relay, and see if it stays...
Possible it had already been damaged. Had a guy here in town do something similar probably 20 years ago with a 2 door 90s Tahoe. Tree fell on it an crushed the rear portion. He cut it and did a 4 point rollbar to reinforce it. Then did a soft top with snaps.
I haven't cut open a manifold to see what cylinders are closest to the pvc hose port. So it was a guess and less of an absolute. But with the known oil consumption issue because of valve cover issues, it is as good of a place to look as any.
I haven't whole heatedly looked for an adjustable one. But it seems you are right as I haven't found one that goes on the factory rail. Which is hard to believe with all the other aftermarket part for these.
Keep the oil and filter changed and basic maintenance and it will last a good while longer. My Silverado has over 420k on it, remember maintenance is cheaper than a new vehicle
X2 on the previous post..it can be done. But, it will not be cheap. I do not know if you have running/step boards on your truck as it is 2wd. But you could look for a set of those and have them installed. The ones on my 06 are probably 4 inches lower than the floor boards. I can not measure at...
Curious as to end game here. Just to have a LSD front diff? Not knocking the plan, Ya just didn't explain the plan well... and I'm dumb and don't seem to be able to figure it out. Lol. The 8.8 is a tuff unit though. Ran a turbo 500+ inch ford through an 8.8 in a fox body in the early 2000s...
You have to remember that GM isn't always tuning for the best mpg or best power for the truck and general car lines. They are trying to get you a vehicle that does "well enough " and will make it out of the warranty period...and that is all. The Corvette and other performance vehicles will get...
Yes those are the gen 3 6.0 engines.
I don't have the software for the newer computers that the 6.2s use.
As for the aftermarket tuning for a mpg standpoint alone.
A '19 5.3 z71 my coworker tuned with hptuners picked up 2 mpg after a transmission only tune. He did no engine changes, but...
Ok let's try again today.
P59 computer has the rows and columns reversed for some reason but here is an LQ9 low and high octane table set.
Almost 10 degrees of timing difference in the selected cell and anyone can look over the rest of those maps and see what timing for a given rpm/air flow...
