    Wix filter part numbers.

    That 57502 wix fits most of the ford f150's with the turbo engines !!! So I'll have to stay away from That !!!! The XP filters - as I understand it from wix- are designed from the start to work 'better' wix modern synthetic oils... I don't think it's to do with rpms/racing etc... But I'm...

    2013 Escalade ESV Annual Maintenance Update: the good, the bad, and the incompetent

    I didn't like the FelPro.. Prob the first time ever !!! And the OE obviously has issues.. I found the MAHLE that is still the metal but is built better than the OE... The felpro IMO needs to have a metal or solid base under the sealing surfaces

    Wix filter part numbers.

    Just my 2 cents.. I've been using the wix 57045 on these rigs for several years. IDK if it's really any better.. It's longer so it hold a little more oil.. My main thing is that its easier for me to put on and take off as it hangs about an inch lower. I compared all the specs between the 57045...

    Aftermarket Kit to keep Transmission cooler

    I Agree with the above. Deep Pan, external cooler, better radiator, etc are all good options. You trans overheated due to the converter going south... That's what created extra heat.. If you replaced the trans and used an upgraded aftermarket converter, you should be fine.. The best...

    GM 6L80 Transmission Information Thread

    I was kinda thinking the same thing... I've done several fuel system projects and that's kinda the case - except you can just crank up the pressure at the pump and/or regulate it with external regulator.. So bigger is better IF you need "flow" Always appreciate your feedback !!! Anyone else...

    GM 6L80 Transmission Information Thread

    New Question for Nick or Robert (transgo) I am thinking of relocating my trans external fan forced cooler (for a couple of reasons). I see that ICT billet has a nice adapter that mounts to my 6l80e and I can just use only AN lines - my preference. They make it in a 6an and 8an.. My question is...

    What cam did you go with, why, and do you like it?

    That cam in a 5.3L is going to have zero low end torque... mostly due to the tight LS of 109*... Go at least 1 step smaller and look for a LS of 113-116* Even with your loose converter and gears that cam will be a pig to drive "normally" .. Now if this were a camaro or something lightweight...

    Slight miss at idle, poor MPG, sooty exhaust pipe, No codes. 250K

    Also think about cleaning your MAF.. Running oiled air filters is very common for some of the oil to get onto the maf.. Clean it. When was the last time you changed your upstream oxygen sensors???? They are pretty much a maint item anymore.. Good for 100-125K... They should have been...

    Wierd noise

    Water Pump (bearing) could also be making noise along with anything in the serpentine system too... idler pulley, tensioner(mentioned above) etc You can take off the belt(s) and start it and run for a very brief time and that would rule out or in things in the belt system

    Crank position sensor relearn procedure?

    If it's cranking and starting "normal" , no you are fine It's not always needed, just recommended

    New to catch can

    Not much to do with spark plugs... The catch can catches oil mist flowing around in the intake.. if it's excessive or above average it will coat the intake with engine oil and then be introduced into the cylinder heads and valve. NO Oil in the intake is the best, but a tiny bit is OK

    6.2 L92 Volumetric Efficiency

    171 & 174 are lean codes.. prob have a vacuum leak or an intake manifold gasket leak - very common with age on these.. You'll need to fix these first before you'll get any help on HPT forum... your info is all skewed until you get this fixed

    HP Tuners additional changes?

    If you take out all the torque management, you'll smoke the trans... It HAS to reduce timing and "manage" the torque during the shifts... the 6L80 just isn't strong enough (on a 6500lb vehicle) .... You would need a highly modified trans to eliminate it...

    Throttle Position Sensor and throttle gear issue

    Throttle position sensor % is whatever the ECM dictates it to idle correctly at for the current conditions. Gen 4 does not have an IAC so it fluctuates the throttle blade for correct idle. So idle will never read 0%. It generally reads somewhere between 10-20% at idle

    2013 Chev Tahoe brake issue

    Check your hub bearing assemblies really well too. Should have the wheel speed sensors in there

    2009 Yukon SLT with Factory Tow Package Cooling Upgrade

    Upgrade the radiator to either a new high quality or an all aluminum aftermarket like a mishimoto or cold case type radiator. You'll want to make sure your trans is in Excellent condition. For ease of install, an aftermarket pan such as the b&M or tci will help with cooling and add a couple...

    MAP Sensor question: 2008 6.0 vs. 2014 5.3 - same parameters?

    I think you'd be fine with the new style map sensor esp since you are using the newer style wiring harness etc The sensor doesn't know it's on a 6.0 vs 5.3.. Logic tells me me to use the sensor that is correct for the Wiring Harness being used

    Towing Heavy Transmission Temps

    I have one from the repository that's supposed to be stock... It is in some areas but I found discrepancies in a few areas when comparing to other known stock tunes.. So I wasn't confident.. Also, I don't "think" there are any differences from 2012 to 2014 but gm may have done some updating

    Towing Heavy Transmission Temps

    Second one looks pretty similar to my timing map !! I'm sure that there are some spark adder modifiers that come into play as cylinder airmass changes. Ive re-smoothed several cells in mine and taken out 1-2* here and there.. I won't be towing the beast for a couple more weeks or so, so I...

    Towing Heavy Transmission Temps

    Unfortunately my OE stock read is long gone.. in 2020... Then when I removed the SC in favor of a vvt cam and mild head work The new tuner I used told me they couldn't tune it because I had bad pistons from the SC being on it (********)... It just ended up being 1 bad coil pack .. I told them I...

    Towing Heavy Transmission Temps

    My wideband shows the normal AF .. nothing spiking up or down. Fuel trims are within -/+5.. so that's ok.. My load pid shows about 40% load in 4th gear and about 50% in 5th gear on the level... Throttle position is around 50%. I have turned off COT as I have aftermarket KOOKS headers and hi...
