    Another electrical gremlin thread

    Sorry, I’ve been sidelined for a couple days. Haven’t even driven the truck since my last post until today. So in response to this, the door locks otherwise function normally. When I put the truck in drive, all the doors lock. When I put the truck in park, all the doors unlock (at least the...

    Cluster scrolling thru different languages

    It’s not “zero risk” .. if you don’t discharge static electricity before handling the circuit board you definitely could fry it.. but OK.. If you discharge any potential static electricity directly prior to handling the board, you greatly reduce any risk, but the best way is as @justirv...

    2020 SSV from Chicago motors

    My truck is also catalogue code 5C1.. i don’t think it has much relevance to the actual model but probably more in reference to fleet sales vs retail, but not entirely sure . . . Do you have Z56 police chassis package? RAP - steel wheels ? 6J3 - headlight flasher ? Any idea on what entity...

    Ok for the vehicle to idle for 3-5 hours?

    LPG does not go bad, but if sitting for many year may lose the added odorant for detecting leaks, which *could* be a safety concern. Also, the tanks themselves must be re certified after 12 years.

    Reliable Gas Engine Years?

    Look, a lot of people love to hate on the AFM/DOD systems associated with the trucks after the GMT800 generation.. annnnnd … they are not wrong.. AFM sucks big time. IMO it’s a totally worthless concept/design with negligible benefits.. That being said, numbers never lie. There have been over...

    Advice on selling 2010 Caddilac Escalade ESV

    I had a very, very bad experience selling a car on Craigslist once. Methheads.. a guy and his girlfriend. They had a bad trip ( or something was wrong with them idk).. the lady went psycho.. and they ended up calling the police.. on ME.. accusing me of stealing her purse. LOL.. I laugh about...

    91 octane vs e85 in flex fuel Tahoe/suburban?

    ^^ This. All “regular” gasoline is maximum 10-15% ethanol by volume. It says so on the pump which concentration you’re actually getting. (Well, it’s supposed to.. ) Some stations/areas it’s 10%, others it is 15%. Some gas stations do sell ethanol free fuel. There is a gas station close by...

    Another electrical gremlin thread

    OK fellas, I appreciate the responses thus far. I will: -Find a way to fix the passenger side ground (see below) -Play with the door latches themselves and observe their behavior* -Remove the batteries and have them bench tested But in the meantime I have a small update that is relevant...

    Another electrical gremlin thread

    my turn to ask for help. Short TLDR version: Power locks have gone total apesh*t. Never was a problem until.. our first cold spell. ‘Cold’ being about 45*F outside. Here’s what we KNOW: -Tahoe PPV with dual battery set up. -Truck comes from rust belt and as such: -Both the chassis ground...

    DFM disabler released

    At least you were honest about that, which i respect. So fair enough, but if you did not read the policy, it’s hard to criticize it after. If the policy seems sleazy from the start, there may be something amiss. It’s different if the policy says something else and they refuse to honor it...

    DFM disabler released

    The only person crying here is you. Did you read the return policy before purchase?

    DFM disabler released

    I don’t see anything out the norm here. Yeah, a lot of companies have the return policy tailored to the company benefit to prevent customers from abusing that policy.. which happens every day from a certain type of scumbag clientele. Lesson learned: read return policy before purchase...

    Range Technologies for 2021 Yukon

    @Antonm just my opinion but I feel like you should make a dedicated thread outlining your observations about the range unit.. DFM/AFM ‘disable’ is of interest to many of us here, and it would be good to have the discussion about the truths (and falsehoods) about what the Range units ACTUALLY do...

    2010 Suburban with Transmission problems

    Salaam. I think the answer to this question strictly depends on what your long terms goals are. keeping the truck as long as possible ? Maybe then it’s worth the money to rebuild the transmission like new. The benefits in that case are a warranty on the rebuild and the knowledge that the...

    AFM Disabler differences?

    OK ... yes, you are 100% correct. a tune would still only disable AFM, you would still need to change out some pieces for an actual AFM delete. But the point I was making still stands: AFM DELETE would be the best option, but if for whatever reason you can’t or don’t want to .. Range is...

    Nitrogen?

    To say that the difference is not measurable is just wrong — it is not factual. The difference may be minute, it may be minuscule, it may not be noticeable, but it is measurable. The friction comment was more in regards to the lighter gas not being as heavy and lessening the weight of the...

    Nitrogen?

    Cost can vary depending on the brand and quality of equipment. Biggest variable is the tank, which cost significantly less used than brand new (& can usually be found easily on Craigslist or fbmp But you can do the whole set up for roughly $150 (plus fill) assuming you get a used tank for...

    Nitrogen?

    My fault, initial post had the 0 and I took it out. for clarity: $0.36 as in 36 cents per tire. That is still less than 1 cent per 1 psi.

    Nitrogen?

    Well I agree, and If we’re going to make a point about gas purity standards; then no gas is “pure”, there is no such thing as a “pure” gas, which is why I put “pure” in quotation marks and referred to this “pure” gas that everyone speaks of as “straight”. Maybe you could come close in a...

    Nitrogen?

    “Pure” (read: straight, as not even UHP Nitrogen is 100% pure — there will always be impurities in the gases) Nitrogen is lighter than atmospheric air (which is already over 3/4 nitrogen already), and due to it’s chemical makeup, may keep a tire inflated for longer versus atmospheric air...

    Bt diesel Autosync

    Alright, I can’t find much information online so I’m looking to see if anyone here has a BT diesel works auto sync? They’re having a Black Friday sale right now so it can be purchased new for about $100 off regular price, which is tempting. The PROBLEM is, looking online and on other forums...
