Sorry, im actually an EFIlive guy. I just have hptuners because its popular with my friends and instead of having them try to converty efi to hptuners i just scanned the tune out of my truck.

 

 

If you have EFIlive scan tool i can post up some logs that i took while tuning.

Can you export them to a spread sheet so everybody can view? I tried to upload one mine but it wouldn't let me. You might try???

How about a complete pass from zero up? Or do you mean what configuration do we want to see? Time, rpm, speed, tp, timing advance, kr, MAF (Hz), Engine and tranny temps., current gear, manifold vacuum and of course afr.

So bottom line about e85..is my 2011 6.2 quicker or slower on e85? Stock tune for now.

Based on what I see in the tune for my 2013 assuming yours is the same you will be slower on E85 without tuning.

With the NHT pkg/ 3.73 & 9.5" rear end, anyone with this configuration on their L9H running Amsoil in front and rear diff? Did you see any jump in mileage?

Hey "ex-150", that is sorta what I was thinking, but wanted to ask. Thought I read somewhere a guy claimed 1mpg better. You use Amsoil in your diff's? Thanks.

I am still on all the original fluids, all but the engine oil. My truck only has 23K miles on it. I am running 0W-30 (Mobil One) instead of the 5W-30 that is recommended and I have not noticed any difference in MPG, but that was not the reason for me switching to this weight.

From gear oil :crackup:

 

It is the placebo effect of virtually every possible mod ever done to a vehicle after leaving the factory. From what I can tell, every mod adds 20 hp, but the debate is still between 1 OR 2 mpg improvement. Have seen forum posts(on other sites) where people were debating the effect of wax on mpg. Better wax, better mpg posts to boot. :nonod:

 

That said, have not changed the gear oil on the 2013, but when I did the 2007 dually some years ago, it was some ugly(factory)stuff coming out. Put Schaeffers back in & just did the semi a month or so ago. Small side note, neither showed ANY fuel mileage improvement but were due from a mileage standpoint. :thumbs:

    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
