Well, got about a hundred miles on it so far, everything is ready except for the EVAP system...
Sort of running out of time here, not sure if it needs more cycles or if I do have an issue even though there's been no check engine light.
If I remember correctly, it all need to be in a ready state.Do they make you have them all in a ready status?
Evap takes an insane amount of time to complete its test cycle, and temps have to fall within a range...
Here it's the one expected to be in a pending.
Looks like I'm good to go then.Do they make you have them all in a ready status?

My '05 5.3 seems to run well...... I wonder what a 'tune' would do for me?Last night i loaded up the tune with the 6.2 timing and torque management.
I missed the low-end from that tune.
Wideband showed a bit leaner, but the computer quickly adjusted and it's looking much better.
Next: time to start tuning.
I don't trust it for wot yet, but I love being able to idle around everywhere again.
Freeway, it holds 6th gear at 80mph no problem.
So much better.
I would love to see what these settings do for a 5.3.
I think the biggest change will be on the torque management stuff.
I have yet to try just the timing changes.
I went straight for the timing + torque management settings.

( I have no idea what the difference would be, and if I really need it?
I don't hot rod it
Thanks for the info..... Honestly, I don't see the cost for a little bit better?I was running a 6.0 off of the factory 5.3 tune.
It ran fine like that for the most part.
But it did cut off some low-end power.
It felt like the old 5.3, but with a tiny bit more down low.
but I still needed to down shift a lot.
Good since it's a new transmission, it needs lots of those as things wear in...
Early on I ran with the tune from a Silverado 2500hd with the 6.0, even there I noticed a bit of power increase down low.
That said, I'm also running the camshaft from a 6.2.
I bet just tweaking those torque management calculations would help.
Many here have a bb tune on their 5.3 and noticed a bit of a difference.
I would love to get a look at the bb tune and run a compare against a factory 5.3 tune.
My bracket idea for moving the tru cool back down to the bottom again, going to drill a couple holes in the flat bar and mount it with the skid plate bolts, kind of subjects it to the elements a little bit but I've had it down there already for months and had no problemsView attachment 374032
