I had a similar problem, and had it replaced under warranty. At first GM/dealer couldn't reproduce so I send them video. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Running E85 you get more out of it with higher boost. And you don't always have to run higher octane fuel. Modern DI engines handle crap fuel pretty well. Bumping down to regular is a walk in the park, just expect power to go with it. Great thing about this process is that the computer can adjust the boost based on octane.

Ah. Well that sucks. I guess I could dream then. There are some CF ones out there with a similar intake pattern. I just may go that route. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I haven't ordered parts yet. Still waiting to hear if it's a direct swap or if I have to order a bunch of other stuff to get it to line up. From pics, it almost seems like the hood alone is a direct swap from a 2500 to a 1500. But I haven't seen one side by side. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Hmm more random thoughts. Since I have the 5.3 not the Duramax, I wonder if I could just block off the fender intake on the HD airbox and pull all my air from the scoop. Anyone do this and check to see if MAP drops by anything? Not sure what the hood can move in terms of CFM. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Most turbo motors are. They down tune to meet emissions, give room for later models with more power, and transmission. Most modern turbo motors can handle a better intercooler and a tune (that increases boost) and you will see a 10-20% increase in power. I've seen some stock motors go up 30% more, reliably on this formula. From a physics standpoint (yes I know some of you think that is witchcraft), increasing boost is equivalent to increasing the displacement of an NA motor. I just wish the 2019's weren't so ugly. I wonder if the engine swaps. Bye bye 5.3, hello tuned 2.7 Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Please, someone get the I4, tune it and to an axle pull with a V8 so we can put this to rest. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

And to my point earlier... NA V8's suck in the mountains. That is when you need the most power anyway. A force fed engine is much better. Also, everyone knows that they do make NA diesels, right... They are even worse than NA gas engines on paper, but cheaper to manufacture. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I will argue that point wholely. 1) how does NA vs Turbo handle atmosphere? NA) by losing 3% every 1,000 ft Turbo) keeps same Max HP. Turbos spin faster in the less dense air keeping the intake pressure at the same level. This is the same concept used in turbo-prop/turbofans used in planes and helicopters. 2) how does NA vs Turbo handle changing engine loads NA) it can only create negative pressure in the manifold for lower demands. The displacement stays the same, AFM ignored (which is why GM uses it, but parasitic losses) Turbo) by using a smaller engine and a compressor, most the time the engine manifold pressure is positive. By increasing pressure, a smaller engine can actually move MORE air than an NA engine 2x it's size. More air + more fuel = more power So why all this talk of turbo now when the small block V8 has been king? Well simple... Computers. Better modeling, better programming, better engine computers, better understanding of the physics. Did you know that the first year of F1 moving to the newest set of turbos, tire manufacturers had problems? Yeah, coming out of the turns, the turbos spooled via an electric motor essentially acting as a procharger (on intake and exhaust mind you). The stresses were too much and teams had to dial down the new systems to avoid killing off their tires. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I'd like both my drl and turn signals to run bright at night. Actually.. I really want just much brighter LED's to start with. Then the dimmed function would be useful Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Might also be a partially stuck thermostat. I'm sure you're generating quite a bit of heat keeping it at that speed. these trucks while pretty, have the aerodynamics of a brick. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I definitely like this look. So if I am reading this right, for a 17 ltz 1500, all I need is the hood and it bolts in place no problem? Or is there a few trim pieces I should add to finish it up? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Make certain you enable these features in the nav settings! You can disable them. Took me a few hours to figure that out. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Correctly sizing the turbos, variable vanes, and variable valve timing have made turbo lag pretty much disappear. There is still some F1 tech waiting to make its way down - attach an electric motor to the turbo, controlled by the ECU. Kinda makes me wish I could get one. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

In Texas that would be nice... Press and hold lock, windows roll up and sunroof closes. I was actually looking into the app development for the Chevy My link to see if I could 'hack this in'. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
