I'm supposed to be picking up my hypertech today after sk00l (friday).  I'm very excited about it, but i do have a question.  If i raise the rev limiter to 6300 rpms, am i putting my engine in any kind of jeopardy?  Also, does it really do anything for 87 octane, or should i start switching over to 93?  Thanks

Read their instructions carefully - note the part about taking little steps and trying it out.

 

You will need the 93 octane if you chose the performance curve, don't risk detonation - performance costs.

 

Be careful about taking the rev limiter too high - you only want to keep it from messing with your shift points at WOT - good luck :cheers:

I recently pourchased one for my 6.0ltr.  The biggest thing that I like are the firmer shift points.  I did raise my redline/shift point to about 6000.  I do not think you gain anything by pushing the rpms higher than that on a stock motor.  From the HP/Torque curves that I have seen published, the power seems to decrease quickly by the time you are hitting 6K.

If you haven't purchased your new HPP+ yet, let me know. I have a new one that I purchased for my 02 Suburban and it will work on all 2002 trucks and all engine and tranny combinations.

 

Hypertech Part Number: 30012

 

I will make you a real good deal. Summit sells them for $350 plus shipping. If interested I will sell it for $290 plus shipping to you.

 

I used it and didn't like what I saw. I removed the programming so that it can be reused in any 2002 truck. Its basically brand new in the box with all the paper work. Its great for setting up oversized tires, gear changes, transmission shift points and shift firmness, a generic performance program that adds 4 degrees of timing to the base timing maps. It does nothing for adding blowers or any other mods.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      37's would probably fit with a 3" lift. GM only has two gear ratios for these trucks 3.73 for gas and 3.42 for diesel. And they can't be programmed for anything else at the moment. The rough country module just corrects the speedometer and odometer to adjust for tire size it's not a programming device.   You haven't said if your truck is gas or diesel, but for a gas truck the 10L1000 with 3.73 gears has a lower final drive ratio than the 6L90 it replaced would if it were swapped to 4.10s. GM used the same 3.73 gearing in 6 speed gas trucks. I don't think you'll have any issue running 37's with the 10 speed other than the reduction in mpg and towing/weight capacity which is as much of a function of the lift as the tire size.

      Actually, it probably was the brakes.  It's weird the way the messages came across, but I took it to the dealer thinking that something was wrong with the sensor and in fact, the rear brakes were shot.  What I don't understand is why the messages never said, your brake pads are low.  First I got the message I posted above, taking about new pads being detected.  Then I got a message saying that the system needed repaired.  It never said, change your brake pads.

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      OCI, not when but why?

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.
