I thought about going that route with mine , but with all the Snow up here, i dont think it would be a good idea.

Where will that scoop be pulling air from exactly? I can see with the SS models where that could fit over the one of the rectangular ports where the fogs would go but not sure on a GMC

Where the right tow hook is. It actually uses the tow hook bolt to mount

It can come from the brake duct on an SS because they dont have fog lights eventhough the interior is from an LT

Sweet, well make sure you write something up on how it changed for you performance wise if any, that Volant box looks nice! How much did you pay for it all with the new scoop also?

I got everything on Amazon. I am a Prime member so shipping is cheap as hell.

 

The CAI with the Donaldson Powercore filter was $252.08 Sales tax was $18.91 2 day shipping FREE

GMT-800 P/N 15153 for the kit with oiled filter 151536 for the kit with Donaldson filter

 

The Scoop was $97.79 Sales tax was $8.00 and $8.99 for overnight shipping with Saturday delivery

Scoop P/N 35853. This applies to 99-06 1500 Silverado/Sierra/Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban/Avalanche.

SS P/N 35960 For those who want to put the SS bumper cover on

 

Well with the Corsa Sport I did notice a power difference over the K&N 77 series intake. According to the butt dyno, the Volant feels like it has a little more low end power. My brother noticed this as well. it seems to pull harder at WOT. I got it because the CARB Exemption Executive Order number will cross reference to a Denali and SS which makes it legal for me having a 6.0 and it is a great looking system that will work with both a clutch fan and electric fans

Back in the garage 6-10 inches of snow on the way :(

Cool, no electric fans on your truck?

 

Nope I got an 04. Last year of the clutch fan. Its on the list of things to do

tightened up the wheel spacers since its been a couple hundred miles, found some loose things on the front (before you judge thats normal for a new lift) tightened those up threw the wheels on.. damn thing is still pulling hard to the right even after the alignment and now have some shake on the steering wheel.. pretty unhappy this Sh*# will never end.

No big deal, easy fix.

 

Have the pitman/idler arms checked. They may be worn to the point that they were easy to ajust for alignment but the larger tires and lift caused more stress. That would explain the pull and steering shake after alignment. Most likely they are worn and can't hold alignment after the mods.

      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

      By newdude · Posted

      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?
