So I'm thinking about putting the autocal in my 2013 Chevrolet 1500 it still has warranty and according to the guy I been emailing He says it won't leave a footprint in the computer so if I have to have warranty work done I just return it to stock and they wouldn't know I had a tune in it is this true or not

If you are concerned about voiding your warranty I would advise against it until it expires. What if you tuck breaks down on you and you're not able to return the factory program before getting it serviced. Anything can happen.

This is a video showing how the 6.2L sounds with headers and a corsa catback. The crew cab is my 6.2L, the 2005 extended cab is a 5.3L with a magnaflow muffler welded in.

So i've been doing some research but i can't quite get a solid answer. 2013 GMC Sierra All-Terrain 6.2L loaded, with bose, does it have a sub woofer?

Why would the BOSE in it be any different than mine? Does it have a center console? If so it is in there.

I know we have moved on from this but I too am having trouble with cold starts. The difference is I don't even have a block heater. My truck is garaged but the garage is not heated. Usually doesn't get below 20F. Truck will start run like garbage for a minute then die. When I start it the second time it still runs terrible and dies a second time. By the third time it will finally keep running. I am also have service lights coming on but nothing to do with the motor or emissions. So far it has been the service traction control and service trailer brake control. Last time I took it to the dealer for running poorly it was late summer and they said it was because I have over sized tires which are only 275's which is an option, and I did have an aftermarket K&N cold air intake which I have removed. Truck has 12,000 miles. Just checking to see if anyone else is having similar issues.

Tires causing it to run bad :rolleyes: Have you tried a different dealer.

I blew off the tire thing. I can kind of see the oil soaked filter causing problems. It goes there Monday so I will see what they say.

Yeah, oil deposits play hell with the MAF. Had a K&N filter in my '04 'Vette for 3 months, during which time it pinged horribly and overall ran like shit. That was my first and last non OEM air filter.

Got the truck back yesterday. I didn't realize how bad it really was running until I pulled out of the dealership. It has a lot more get up now. Dealer wanted to know if I have been running E85. I have never put anything lower then 91 octane with no more the 10% ethanol. Turns out the computer was reading the fuel at 75% ethanol. Reflashed the computer and all is fine for now.

Did you tell them they forgot to fix the tires? Two trips because they where too indifferent to check it out the first time.

Having my 2012 CC regeared from 3.42 to 4.10, excited to see the performance differences. Has anyone else had this done, and if so what differences other than slight loss in mpg have you experienced?

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
