I thought all the LS engines took the same filter? My buddy's 6.2 in his '10 Camaro takes the same filter as my 5.3 in the '07. 15k50 If I remember right.

 

Shots of Rumple before the oil change? I'm game. :D

I have a Gen 3. Yours is a Gen 4. And actually this filter goes to a 4.2L Trailblazer. Same thread and diameter as a Gen 3 LS, just longer

 

And I enjoy Baileys and Rumple in coffee and hot chocolate.

Ahh, 10-4.

 

Thought the block was the same right from the beginning. Shows what I know. Par for the course today - seems GM can't keep anything the same anymore, even year to year.

 

I'll take the 350 any day - at least I know when I grab a part for that one, it will fit. That one used the same parts for over 30 years. :)

In the shop today: Forget eye crispies, my eyes were crusted over when I woke up from the pain at 4am this morning and would you believe my 2 first cluster calls were for the same problem 03-04 cluster not shutting down with key out of ignition and killing battery. Told them I may not be able to do them today. I'm in serious need of visine.

Quit smoking the reefer and no visine is needed

Yesterday I received my little video screen microscope about 2 days late.

 

I think this is going to help my eyes a lot.

Today I popped the dent out of my hood from the duck that decided to commit suicide. It was such a nice day to...happy birthday...

 

Might as well get all the dings and dents fixed...it's only money.

Changed the oil in the truck.

 

And replaced the tubes in the tires for the wheelbarrow and garden cart so I can do mulch next weekend, maybe!!

Oil change for me is scheduled for Friday. Hopefully new exhaust for the car comes and I can do oil and exhaust on that too

This came up the other day on my truck. It's hyper flashing, but all my bulbs are in working condition or are they getting ready to go out?

Yup, this means it failed to flash 3 times in a row. Maybe good now but (burnt/broken ) filaments will tend to do this. Replace both since the other side is probably about to die too.

Just finished fluid changes in the front diff, rear diff, and t-case. Used all Amsoil. Went ahead and changed the rear diff gasket with a new Lubelocker. Original one looked good but I had it so I used it.

      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?
