Working on cleaning up and sorting more stuff/garbage, yet again. After taking a load to a consignment sale now the truck is sitting with the bed full of garbage...yet again. Can't wait until my trash service finally starts...my recycle center was closed down so now I have to use curb side trash.

Also cleaned up the inside a little bit, trash, stuff, vacuum, fabreeze...my dog needs a bath. My back seat reeeks like wet dog.

Cleaned MAF, changed air filter, and installed my AirAid tube. Looks nice.

I did the same lol, except I also cleaned the TB and checked the filter, though I did notice a small pool of oil in the Intake Manifold at the very back were it dips in a bit, guess I need to install a catch can....

I didn't look very closely but my TB looked factory clean. I had no doubt my filter needed changed, it was a mess even though it was still flowing fine. The MIT tube is a lot quieter than I thought, almost no difference from stock, but I haven't really romped on it, maybe 4k rpm max. I'm easy on it most of the time. It looks much nicer though and frees up a lot of room under the hood.

I ordered a Volant CAI with Donaldson Powercore filter today. Most the SS guys run them on these LQ9's and love them. I needed something other than the K&N to pass emissions testing

Well the last time I had the CEL light on I was told to just put a piece of electrical tape over it...this was a tech a the local GMC dealership...wonder why they got shut down a while back????

 

I guess it would serve the purpose of not have a light "lit up" right? lol

      In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
