After days and weeks of aggravation and a trip to the local liquar store, i got this mechanic nailed down to help me with this servo install. So in the words of Gunery Sargent Hartman, my truck can shift "like its got a pair". will give you all an update after its done, I just wish i would of known about this before, now ill just have to see what the programmer is going to do when this thing creates more pressure.

If you put in a Vette Servo, make damn sure your line pressures are not increased by your tuner or your tranny will go kaplooie!!! Bigger diaphragm and more pressure means a hella lot more force.

A Corvette servo Holds the band 18% tighter. Increased line pressure will not hurt the trans.

 

I have a corvette servo and a 4th hold billet servo that holds the overdrive band 40% tighter. I also have the line pressure increased by a tune. Has been this way over two years. I tow a camper and I do get on it every now and again. No issues or problems. Lets the trans actually live longer, less strain, less heat.

 

Just my opinion,

I suppose it depends on how much higher pressure you run with it. I am only going by what I was told by my tuner and what I have read. I am sure some added pressure with a vette servo will be ok, but I would tune accordingly if you have one.

ok this thing is great, under normal throttle about 1/3rd is just like normal to me, under about 1/2 throttle its like being in trailer tow mode all the time and under full throttle its like a some one sticks there foot right up your trucks ass, with a big push and great response . I didnt do anything to my trany line pressure besides whatever slp did. But is great to say the least.

 

defently a must do for anyone not doing this now.

Have you tried adding some line pressure to the 1-2 WOT shift in the Predator?

Get both, their cheap. My vette servo was $20.

If he has a NNBS the Diablo will do nothing for the transmission. Diablo does not have TCM support for the 07-08.

I never knew you could still tow with a vette servo??? What does labor cost to put in a vette servo? Will anyone install it, or will I have to do some convincing.

Thanks.

of course you can tow with a vette servo....you don't want too much pressure when towing anyway. just quick shifts. I have more pressure when not in tow\haul and when I go in tow\haul mode I have nice firm quick shifts but not a kick in the butt because if you have a heavy load....somethings gonna give. Thats the way mine is tuned at least.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
