2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

Alright I finally cut the stock sway bar in half!

No gold inside but they are thicker than I had assumed.

Playing with the tahoe tune a little. Noticed with the new 160* T stat the truck was running so much cooler (around 170-180). That the fans weren't kicking on while stopped at idle so the condenser would get hot and so would the AC. Changed fan turn on to 160 which cured that issue. Also finally corrected tire size which is almost less than 1% but hey gotta make stuff right. Lastly played with idle rpm and dropped from 800 to 650. Give it a little more chop and might save me a fraction of a MPG lol.

Ordered HPT MPVI2 pro as well so I can start learning a little more and mess with my Tacomas tune.

Heres a idle clip. Still not as Choppy as I'd like but its a small cam in a big motor. Gonna see how it drives and acts with the 650 idle might drop it further and see what it sounds like.

 

[Dantheman1540]

Played with some other idle parameters and dropped idle to 580. Not a huge difference and like always video never sounds right but here it is. Even went for a short drive and noticed no negative characteristics.

Looking at other things I can change to possibly induce more chop/lope. Gonna wait until I get the new MPVI2 because for some reason my current device will not allow high speed tune writing. Sometimes it takes close to 10 nerve racking minutes.

Either way HPTuner is the bomb diggity.

Took this thing to work today and it drove great. Went to Popeyes for that kill worthy chicken sandwhich and had to sit in the drive through for awhile. The "lope" I created became irritating very quickly as it rocked the truck just a little more than I'm willing to live with. So Upped the idle to 600 and backed off on some of the Spark over/underspeed.

Only filled up with it once and so far so good. I was afraid it would be at an awkward angle and be hard to get it in the hole or something. Fortunately it's easy peasy and not a bad price at $20
