  1. I'm not 100% sure there is a problem on that circuit but my dome light wire I tapped into for floor mat lights and there is a soft code in the record. Also in my report was subwoofer open and light sensor high voltage. These are soft codes they do not set of the dash light. But when all the codes are pulled you can see it listed.

  2. All I will say is it would be best if you set it off a relay to a seperate power. You can wire up a relay or buy a rewired on or even buy a relay power harness. But so many wires and circuits are monitored by the bcm. And throw soft codes. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  3. I am lost here brake assist is different from brake booster. You guys are going to scare the 5hit out of the man. Haha. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  4. First that is very pretty. I am wondering if caliper clears the rim? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  5. 100% right and same with trans temp. Goes to 300* nonidea why no one can read the little lines. Also reads in trans and not in pan or cooler. I had to hook up the scanner to read it. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  6. Oh and what about the oil filter bypass. That is said to be spaced to these engine and oil weights. 2 companies had issues with there bypass pressures. Me I like the oil to always be filtered. That is why I am installing that huge hp4 fram and may swap that to a fram gold but again bypass is the issue there. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  7. It's in spec with what the gm engineers say and also what is written in the gm bulletin. Also that is at 400rpm after a hard drive. Tap the throttle and it jumps to 40. Floor it hard and looks like it is way too high of pressure. Remember they say something like 2 or 3 psi per 100rpm so 400 times 2 or 3 is 8-12psi. Man in really need to find that bulletin again. My truck gets hotter then stock and runs a race based oil and additives. These new oils are more synthetic additives then "oil" and the additives I add are built for the exact metals in the bearings and parts. They say they soak into the metal. And they must to something because in a week of hard driving the additive is gone and I top off with oil and have no problems after that. My built lsx ran 15psi at idle. I believe we have few things going on here. 1- hard to eye ball guess the pressure 2 - it is a two stage pump so at 400rpm yes it is low number but any throttle input it jumps to perfect pressure numbers 3- the sensor/gauge are more of a dummy light, they are slow and inaccurate at best. I think a good arguement can be made for that is better thick oil at less flow or thin oil at heavy flow. Many say thiner oil protects better as it can get into the tighter clearances better, but there is a point that if your blowing that thought the wearing surface faster can the oil do its job. Also it doesnt stick onto the rod or fly around as much reducing rotional mass. There is a reason all race oils are super thin. Again a small jump in oil weight will probably not make a difference.

  8. I have had as low as 11psi at idle after hard expressway runs. Oil is at its hottest. I wonder how far off the gauage is with the whole human eye and all. I have a digital gauage in the truck, just haven't installed the sensors. Then I will see difference in the gauges. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  9. I will not argue the point. I believe same with difference is oil wear and oil temp. If there is more psi is that more wear on pump? Less mass of oil being moved? But curious why you think so? I will say my unmarked additive I was given is thick as any oil I have see. But the 1 quart is gone. In a week or so of driving. Then I add more 0w20 to fill and that is it. As I said I have see huge spikes on the oil gauge so that is also a concern. I will see what a good sensor and log has to say about it. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  10. This is reminding me of the thread about running more or less oil in the engine. To follow the manual,GM or do what you think is best. As stated 5weight will not hurt anything however and again if it is found in there under a warranty claim, what do you think the chances of being under the warranty are? That said donwhat you feel is best but just know the risks just to see the needle read more psi. Best question does anyone running heavier oil believe that they are getting the same protection or better or worse. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  11. Great question and the answer is involved. But answer in short is no. I would research as you are,keep a eye on it. And stay on good oil changes with the bill of each oil change saved in a fill. After the break in and oil change done i would then and only if it still worried me have it dropped off for service. And when I did that know what you.want the written complaint to state and get your full printed code report and the copy of the service invoice. So if if has.to go back your perfectly prepared and if GM reviews it all they see the the most perfect service complaint and document. Like the old saying always be the smartest man in the room or keep your mouth shut long enough to learn, then state you point. Number one reason a gm service complaint is denied is the written service request Number two is the customer Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  12. I ran 7quarts of royal purple 0w20 and dropped under 15psi. Last quart was a additive I got from a guy involved with the performance engine development. Said run it for a week then check oil and adda oil to cover what is missing. I thought about a thicker oil. But he and others said don't do it. There are good reasons they spec that oil and that pump. Absolutely it voids warranty if they catch it. And they do send samples out for testing. The clearance, temps, and weight is picked based on engineering specs. Will heavier oil hurt your motor short term? Maybe not but maybe. I just don't see a reason other then seeing the needle looks better on dash. I added a gauge that data logs and has adjustable levels for temp and pressure. So I will know. And as insaid I would worry more if I had afm/DOD Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  13. That was almost two years ago. But shop around and then call them up. They do the standard are you going to buy it now. If yes they give you a price. Or match the price out the door as they say shipping they eat. Or they did with me. I was on the fence because it was a chunk of change and I was ordering other stuff but when she said that price is couldn't get my wallet out fast enough. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  14. Oh depends on what you y Use it for there are "better" but at the cost vs. Use for a normal Joe truck not worth it. Like the one or multiple piece carbon fiber race truck covers. MUCH lighter and 100 times better looking not practical for use of bed or on a daily driver. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  15. Backflip but I think it is the F1. What ever is the top one they sell. And it is unfair to their retail stores but the company matches all prices and free shipping. I took 2 weeks looking around and then called them and in a minute they beat the price and shipped it free. If I remember right under 800. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  16. Your good. But what oil weight you have? Bulletin states that is fine. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  17. There are a few people that got busted flat bedding but it was only after they found the stripped do vehicles. Also I had my 92 Camaro 25th anniversary stolen by the police. They saw it broken on off ramp and called it in to have it towed but never filed a report I then had it reported stolen for over 2 months. Figured it was stripped but thought may as well ask. Called a yard and they had it there. Over $2000 in fees. They had dozens of high end vehicles. Said they auction them off after 90 days. Knew a guy from high school day had a repo company. He would steal anything he liked out of cars. And drive a new car every week. I carry may different setups. But for many years glock 19. Had a buddy that was robbed and killed for high end car then they couldn't drive a manual. Another buddy killed his 2 attackers that tried to get his Escalade. I got shot for my Escalade and my trailblazer ss had a small bullet in the dash pad when I turned it back in. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  18. Great pics thank you. Few things no quick pad removal on brembo. And happy to see the rotor the same size as wilwood. I never liked the exposed line on the caliper that you see on the ctsv unit. Anyone have replacement cost or just part numbers for pads and rotors on the brembo? I know wilwood isn't cheap but if I get 50k miles out I don't care it they are $1000 a set. Stock brakes don't last at all with the way we drive. 2 years max. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  19. Do the other buttons on same switch work? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  20. Harness at the panel is my guess. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  21. What is the end links bolted to and are the air bag lines connected together? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  22. I want this. I will NOT buy stock replacement brakes when the time comes. Only issue is once this is on truck I will be limited on wheel I can run so trying to figure it out first. Right now I am looking at 22x10 with a 305/40/22. I have read but and I like this caliper design best and the slotted not drilled. Also can't make up my mind on caliper color. Red, brickyard(may match truck), or the silver.
  23. Auto correct switched it. Ok but the ultimate Denali has a note that said does not clear brembo brakes. I don't know. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  24. Is the Sue option wheels the Denali ultimate style. Because my wheels had a note that said fits all 2014+ but not brembo brake kit. My dealer had 2 truck I saw with this kit on them. But they are the 550hp trucks. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  25. Yes wilwood is great product I have had them on a few race cars. Baer had some better or i should say high rated products for more money and real high end brembo is amazing stuff. But again price point here is a factor. You also need to balance out the system. Meaning 10k brembo in carbon ceramic. Are just going to work on the factory brake system in our trucks. I love this idea I just believe the txr6 is better kit. Both in price and performance. But there is a market for both.
