Anyone else notice the delay between pedal pushing and engine response. Makes me nervousness. When I am pulling out onto the road.

Welcome to drive by wire throttles. They can build a delay in to the system, with the wire.... Put a cable in and its almost instantaneous.

Get it tuned to remove that problem

I have the same problem, driving me crazy haha! I drive with a very light foot and I feel like I have to plant it to go anywhere. Get it tuned at a dealership? Or at some custom performance shop?

Definitely not the dealership.

 

I personally think that Blackbear Performance is one of the best. They have a forum on this site in the vendors section if you haven't been there yet. (Or you could click on their add on the right side of the window you have open now.)

 

The tune will void your warranty in some cases, although there are people here who have taken their trucks back to the dealer without any issues. A lot of people opt for extra computers for their trucks, so that they can keep the stock ones to re-install for trips back to the dealer. (6 speed transmissions are controlled by an internal controller, so there is no exchanging modules on them).

True. That is definitely the best way to go now. I plan to get one for mine in the near future.

So help a newb out here haha. The solution to lousy throttle response is to increase hp and torque by tuning the engine? Or is it specifically tuning the throttle itself?

 

None of the above. The truck's computers are tuned from the factory to protect the transmission by not allowing you to just stomp the gas and go. Custom tunes get rid of that delay. All they're doing is changing computer parameters.

Thanks for the info! Seems like a stupid mickey mouse approach by GM though. Instead of dialing the truck back so you don't wreck the tranny, how about building a tranny that can handle the truck?

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?
