  1. do they still have the pressure sensors or did you take them out? 250 each...sure, with mounting and balance and a warrantee from the tire shop and a tax writeoff for my business, i'm paying cash money so i don get all the benefits buying from a stranger
  2. wow, our taxes went to paying for her to get $3500 for a $800 car, that sounds criminal. talk about inflamitory! sounds like we're eating ourselves alive, maybe Humans are the problem!
  3. ahh i seen this issue on a youtubers video, look up preston moore on YT, he talks about your issue and has it fixed correctly on his setup. email him on his website too . but the video shows how to do it.
  4. if the TCC is active it will actually keep the fluid cooler, it gets warmer with the tcc shut off. so shut of atleast 1-4th gear to aid in warm up, and reduce clunk. i also found zeroing out the tcc slip tables also made the trans run cooler because ther is no more 10-30 rpm slip difference between the converter and internal clutch. today i drove 100 miles, at 65 mph, fully locked up in overdrive no slip on the converter, transmission is running at 113 degrees F, ambient air temp was 55-60 degrees out. my engine t-stat is a 175 F from katech, i am thinking about swaping in the cts-v 196 t-stat for more heat. but she runs so good, I averaged 34mpg fuel consumption for 40 mile trip average. this was a flat almost 1-2degree downhill section in city driving my tcc is off for 1-4th gear so my fluid runs about 145 degrees F. stop and go traffic , hot rodding around town stuff
  5. i bought a set similar off of a guys new tahoe z71, i paid $650 I would go $700. i will be out there in a month
  6. https://qz.com/1966116/electric-cars-will-speed-up-depreciation-of-everything-gm-owns/?utm_source=YPL GM says no to carbon based fuels , will building materials be next? isn't there carbon or graphite in all lithium battery technology? i can see the cost of our $30,000 pick ups will be heading into the $100,000 range along with increased deflation of the dollar. take care of what you got!
  7. has anyone attempted to have a tuner like DIablo or Blackbear, disable the TCC system for the first 4-5 gears? this cured the clunk on mine.. i've looked at the tcc parameters on the 8 speed and its engaged right off the line , from accelleration and to a full stop. this is why your converters are failing and get clunks durring downshifts , and between clutch engage/disengagements
  8. GLobalist and Bankers are destroying the planet, not the humans. These two groups are responsible for alot of the planets troubles. and the next Revolution will be AI and RObotics. so this means wiping out a large percentage of earth's population , since they wont need us anymore.
  9. factored in the cost of cost/mile of burning Hydrogen as a fuel by itself and its just a waste since its not a hydrocarbon, i'm not sure Hydrogen gets good milage unless you mix the fuel with a Hydrocarbon fuel to get the energy density up higher. Hydrogen has the fastest flame speed inside a cylinder so it mixes well with other liquid fuels. our DI trucks I feel where designed around hydrogen injection technology , just add a port injector to spray a gas or diesel fuel into the mix and correct the timing closer to zero degrees and you got a real flex fuel vehicle.
  10. your mixing incorrect parts with incorrect software calibration. tow the truck to a tuner shop
  11. i could be wrong but you need to use the LT4 sensor, then in the software update the OS on the truck for it. if its tuned for the 1 bar you wont run.
  12. yeah everything is still in testing phase , but i don't belive they are backing out. they are designing systems with no batteries for the military and commercial sector , and getting cost down before jumping in to consumer level. Honda and Toyota are leading the way, GM just follows and sees what works and what doesn't

  14. once we all go full electric and there is no particulate from smog in the atmosphere to block the sun, the Green lefties will complain the UV rays are making life even hotter and more unbearable.
  15. many things stopped its momentum, i think politics is #1 reason. #2 is the storage system, its kinda a millitary secrect and kept out of the hands of the commercial sector, so it has to be stored at high pressures and lacks range. Hydrogen is a bit of a waste in combustion engines as a sole fuel source but if you can produce lots of it cheap, than who cares it works and has no emmisions. if you add a hydrocarbon fuel and hydrogen mix then this reallly improves the use of both fuels and increases MPG and improves emmissions. the most effieicnt use of HYdrogen with a Hydrate storage system and a fuelcell is probably the direction EV's are going, since your not hampered with Batteries and battery managment issues which is the problem with all Lithium batteries.
  16. Hydrogen is the infrastructure to replace petroleum and support electric vehicles
  17. no mining neccessary if GM follows honda and Toyota's lead and focus on hydrogen fuel cell and hydradrate sponge technology instead of wasting time and money on battery tech
  18. you also forget ev batteries dont have the same energy output when they are below 30-40 degrees F. which means your ev truck needs to burn energy to heat itself up to the correct temp. in order to give max performance
  19. since there wont be enough gas tax to support infrastructure, has anyone put any thought into how they will be taxing us on EV's. will it be by the miles driven, or by the power from the outlets in the garage?? will home power consuption be more expensive, and will i have to buy $60,000 worth of solar panels to charge my $30,000 ev car?
  20. forget the turbos for now.. make it fun to drive on the street, i suggest getting the transmission tuned to shift better and clean up all the available parameters for top performance. this makes it enjoyable to drive, the power comes later when you get the trans under control
  21. how much money is wasted buying 20 quarts or high end synth fluid. keep the stuff in there that you got. and just change the filter element every 10,000 miles. money in the pocket, and super clean oil feeding the trans..
  22. your a wise man i appreciate your input sir.
  23. well its a no brainer then, easy japanesey . i found 625 rpm is perfect. at idle. i tried 675rpm and it was a bit touchy off the line. you figure it out. go for it man! once you get the interface do the the TCC lock up tune , you'll love driving the truck more.
  24. only 8speed transmission has a tuning cost to undo encryption. atleast thats what i've heard on here.. if its got a 6speed your fine. even with the 8 speed just tuning the motor alone is worth the cost
