Still waiting for Jake to reply with his quote, been over a week so I shot him another email, but onto other things, I didnt want to start another thread so Ill jump this one. When I get the headers on, pacesetter LT's, Im going to leave the cats off but should I go with a y pipe or an x-pipe? I have been debating this for a little while and not sure what I would benefit from, I plan on going dual exhaust in front of the tires with some cherry bomb extremes for the muffs. What would yall recommend?

That setup will be very loud.People do ypipes because theres very little loss from a single to a true dual setup plus the cost factor.If your going for sound then true dual without a doubt if your looking to save money and still have a nice rumble then go with a single.Theres not much lost going with a single exhaust.If it was my truck i would choice this setup LT's,xpipe,no cats,dumped thrush welded.

That was the original plan, I currently have the exhaust dumped under the cab but since I am going custom I was either going to dump again just before the axle, or dual out right infront of the tires. And I don't mind the exhaust being loud or drone so any loud muff will do. Are the thrush glass-packs or just a normal style muffler?

Thrush welded is a 2 chambered muffler just like the super 40 or the super 44.They sound very good.I had them on my LT1 caprice dumped in front of rear it sounded very good!then inspection came around again and forced me to run pipes out the back at that point it was to quiet for me and straight pipes went on it,Im thinking about getting them again i love em and will always recommend them,If you do go with the CBE get the dual in and dual out no sense of paying 120 for 2 mufflers when you can get one for 60.To be truthful i love loud exhaust but i think the CBE with longtubes and no cats would be crazy loud especially if its a DD.I had the CBE dumped on my 90 gmc sierra and that was loud dumped,i have db meter which read 90dbs at idle 800rpm.

Lucky me I have my truck registered in a county that doesnt require inspections, but yeah that sounds good, only problem im having is finding an x-pipe for the ol' beast. Is it just better to go to an exhaust shop and have them custom fab one along with the rest of the system? I dont want to spend a fortune on the system if I dont have too.

All you need is 2 90* bends the rest is just straight pipe.Then again i did this on a OBS so it may be different for you.You can run a hpipe just cut 2 inner holes in a peice of pipe and weld a little section to each side.

Been a few years since I worked a welder lol. Either Ill get them made or continue to look. But hopefully it will turn out awesome!

i just found my favorite muffler its the magnaflow 10426 you should look into instead of that thrush welded i told you about.i heard it on a cammed 6L

Maybe alittle but still should sound great.Im starting to get tired of the flowmaster sound everyone around here has a flowmaster.

Yeah seems to be popular, thats why originally i was going to go with the cherry bomb extremes but those magna flows seems to be plenty loud!

Well another update, The guy from Texas Speed has not responded to any of my emails anymore so not sure about his cam; but, I did contact Crane Cams and they said, well all companies said that their cam(s) were better performers, that this cam would better suit my application.

HR-216/3241-2S-15 (Z-CAM). what do yall think of this one?

Will I be able to run 3in exhaust from the heads? or should I go with 2.5in?

I think the crane 1449551 is the best all around cam made from crane that is.especially for a dd.for true duals i wouldnt go bigger then 2 1/2.Unless you have more future plans,stroker,FI,etc.

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
