I plan on ordering the AutoCal for my 6.2 Denali, and after putting the 35's on it I obviously lost a lot of power, with the AutoCal will I gain most of that power back? I'm aware that with a lifted pickup I don't need to be going 100+ but it would be nice to have that power back!

No. You will not get enough power to make up for the 35"s. If you haven't already, it will compensate for the 35"s as far as the speedometer goes. Not sure about the 4spd but in the 6spd you can get rid of some torque management and make it feel a little more peppy. But with those tires a tune alone wont make it like it was with the stockers.

It would help, remember you need to regear the front and rear when you are figuring out the price.

 

A set of 3.90 will get you close to the ratios you were stock with 3.42 gears, 4.11 would rev a little higher than stock but get you back to the stock feel.

 

Once you get the tune and have first gear throttle limit and torque management removed you might be find you are happy with it but the gear would perk it back up.

I'm going to order the tune right now, I'm only in high school so I need to wait for another paycheck or two before I can order the gears! Thanks for the help guys!

you'll fall in love with your truck all over again once you regear. And honestly, wait until you regear to tune...cause you'll have to tune immediately after anyways

 

 

Not sure he fully understands the cost of regearing both ends of his truck. I would suggest he get the tune done first, then ask Justin to give him another copy of the tune with the gearset accounted for. That way, he just needs to apply the tune with the gear change accounted for after he does the gear change. If he is not using the AutoCal method then that would be different.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      OCI, not when but why?

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.

      Weird click noise when revving my truck?

      By JimmyB4 · Posted

      Hello Guys I'm new to the form,         I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.       Thanks!!!!!
