I'm moving right now slowly from my old place to the new.... I am going to bin a ton of stuff. That said I have way too engines. I have 5 homeless 6 liters and 3 brand new 4L80e's... some 243 heads, these tbss intakes(3 now) and whatever other LS junk I have. And thats just the LS truck junk lol.

Any LQ9 6L's? Or LQ4's? Not sure if I would want to do a N/A build or a forced induction

Both lol. The blower motor which has the 05 up LQ4 bottom end, 2 other LQ4's that are more or less complete and a 40000 mile complete 05 LQ9. The other 2 are just blocks without any rotating assemblies in case I wanted to build a stroker. One newer one with equal length head bolts and one older. The only one I paid too much for was the LQ9. The rest I get because I find them super super cheap. My good friend snagged his LQ9 complete down to all accessories, pcm and harness with 70000 miles for $1100. Buy at least its in a fun truck versus taking up space.

well..........

At present scene i have to change oil, i have to clean air filter, change the gear oil, power steering fluid, replace the charge battery, load back everything into the according to the scenario and get ready to go for another journey. i am also need to change the new spare tires on the wheels as well.

If you want to sell the LQ9 for the same price your buddy got his, let me know. :lol:

The mighty LQ9... I even got caught in the mystique of flat top pistons. I feel better though after seeing some guy on a buy sell here asking 3000 for a LQ9/65e with the Borg Warner t case with 150000 miles..... good luck lol.

Worked some over time this morning, changed the oil in my lil sisters car, and finally vacuumed out my truck. And contemplating getting a tool box for my truck any thoughts on that?

Go for it. I put mine on the week I got mine. They aren't to expensive, got my delta at tractor supply

You'll have a place to throw your crap now. I got my hitch and straps and tailgate chair back there. I'm sure some other stuff too

I have been thinking about it a lot lately tired of putting my tools in the back seat. Just concerned about losing bed space but at least i have the 6.5ft bed.

Go with a low profile shallow box, that is what I did

Mine ain't low profile but rather short. Still holds more than I need it to. I can still fit my 4wheeler back there, with the tailgate down of course

      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

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      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?
