    What can I gain from a tune?

    I went with the Diablo tuner and Diablew tune route. It definitely helped! I run heavy tires and tow frequently. If I remove the tune the truck becomes a super slug - no fun to drive!

    Help choosing stainless brake line kit

    I ended up needing to buy adapters from Orielly to install my center lines. They were different thread pitches.

    Odd hum/whine from rear while accelerating

    Shop diagnosed today and says it's definitely ring/pinion wear and needs to be replaced. So good and bad here. I have 3.42 gears and have always wished I was geared lower, especially for towing. So I'm planning to repair and swap to 3.73 gears. The bad is the cost, $3800 - $4200, waiting for...

    Odd hum/whine from rear while accelerating

    Serviced the rear diff and didn't notice anything abnormal. Refilled with RP 75W-90. Still have the noise. I'm getting the tires rotated and balanced today just to rule that out.

    Odd hum/whine from rear while accelerating

    Great info! I've got it scheduled to go into the shop Monday. I'll post the results.

    Odd hum/whine from rear while accelerating

    I'm also suspecting a rear wheel bearing.

    Odd hum/whine from rear while accelerating

    Yea it's been a while since I've serviced the rear diff. Wouldn't be a bad time to change the fluid anyway. Thanks!

    Odd hum/whine from rear while accelerating

    The sound is most noticeable taking off from a stop up to about 40mph. It's subtle, but the pitch and frequency change with increased RPM/speed. If I'm just cruising or at freeway speed I don't really notice it. Sounds like it's coming from the rear end/driveline area. Trans seems to shift...

    Intermittent battery drain - '06

    I think I may have got it figured out! Thanks to @ncalvo his post helped to scrutinize the INFO circuit. After pulling this fuse I haven't been able to reproduce the drain. The circuit is for Onstar/Rear Entertainment. In my case I have Onstar, but no rear entertainment. Onstar was disabled last...

    Trans temp on new cluster

    With the key on (no start) I only get a reading on the M1 trans temp. Maybe the others will work when actually started, I'll check next time I drive it.

    Intermittent battery drain - '06

    Yea I watched both parts of that video from South Main Auto a while ago. It was very informative. I'm going to need to dig in a bit deeper. I think the key will be finding the fuse with the 1.1amp draw. There are fuses that show different amp draws, but I haven't checked all of them yet.

    Trans temp on new cluster

    Ok here's my build. I labeled them M1, M2, and M3. I'm not sure if I have the Pro version of Torque, but I know I paid for it a while back. I'll give it a spin soon.

    Trans temp on new cluster

    That's a great question @Fless ! I was actually wondering if my torque app was correct and now that you mention the different PID's. Do you know which one is correct? I'll see which one I'm using. Thanks!

    Trans temp on new cluster

    Very interesting. Per Carl at fixmygauges.com he says the normal key off needle position should be about one tic below the first mark.

    Trans temp on new cluster

    I just installed my new/reconditioned cluster from fixmygauges.com. Overall I'm very happy with it. I'm excited to have a trans temp gauge on the dash since I tow frequently. I used the torque app to monitor my trans temps via the OBDII connection vs. the analog trans temp gauge. I found the...

    Intermittent battery drain - '06

    Well I got my new cluster installed and I'm pretty happy with it. Unfortunately I'm still having the intermittent battery drain issue. When I left it last night everything was normal. This morning I opened the and closed the door then rechecked and the amp draw was back. At least I can...

    Intermittent battery drain - '06

    Yup thanks! That's where I'm planning on ordering from!

    Intermittent battery drain - '06

    Good idea. In this case I've been wanting to upgrade my cluster anyway so I think I'll go that route. Even if it doesn't fix the problem I'll get the trans temp gauge I've always wanted and some nicer customized gauges.

    Intermittent battery drain - '06

    I've done some testing and plan on replacing my cluster soon, though I'm not sure if it's the whole problem or not. What I've found is that when I'm measuring a draw of about ~1.1 amps at the negative battery cable, I then do a drop voltage test of the IPC/DIC fuse which shows about 300...

    Intermittent battery drain - '06

    I cleaned the grounds since it was easy to do, but no change in symptoms.

    Intermittent battery drain - '06

    Yea mine has been garaged it's whole life pretty much. I do drive it a lot in wet weather, but I'm in Socal so we don't really get bad winters.

    Intermittent battery drain - '06

    Awesome @MassHoe04 thanks so much for pic!! I'm going to definitely pull and clean mine this weekend! That would be awesome if it was such a simple fix and I can get past this! :D

    Intermittent battery drain - '06

    Thanks I'll take a look! Does anything need to be removed to access the ground?

    Intermittent battery drain - '06

    Great info thanks! Is that door lock fuse in the main fuse box under the hood or on the side of the dash?
