Why aren't you going with the FAST LSX Truck intake? I think it works with the LS3 heads. The longer runners are better for the trucks torque range.

And I think your best move for the truck would be get out of tree hugger land.

Head port design difference. After talking with Jenna I could do my original plan. LS3 heads with a TVS2300. Playing it by ear. FAST doesn't make a LSXRt manifold for LS3/L76/07+ trucks. Its for LS1/2/6/99-06 trucks

As he said. Fast doesn't have an intake for the trucks anyhow in the L92 rectangular port design. Just the cathdedral port heads. They do have a car manifold for the rectangulars which a person could always make work if they wanted too.

 

I have not run one but for the dollars they are and the questionable quality they seem to be.... I would be pressed to actually bother with one. If it seals and fits the engine they do make power, no doubt about it.

The tuner recommended that car one. The water pump needs to be changed to the LS1 water pump

My tuner shop will be doing the work. I am pushing for over 500 HP to the wheels on it. But I also have a 6.0 not a 5.3.

Personal opinion, only intake manifold swap I would every do, would be to put a blower on it. The other intakes just don't seem to be worth it in the long run.

Well, we talked about it in PM, You know what I want to do and I will most likely be ordering the blower from you. The intake swap was when I thought my only option was the Procharger. For a little while I will be running a factory L92 or LS3 intake until I can buy the blower.

Have you been to Texasspeed.com yet Chawkins? I would contact them also about other stuff too like tranny and possible cam and TC options, though you are wanting to go with the TVS, they sell the Whipple and might do Military Discount; when I last went to them, they offered it to me so you might save a good chunk of change....

We sell Whipple as well as Procharger, Vortech, SLP, Lyscholm and Edelbrock. Can pretty much guarantee lowest price on Magnacharger, SLP, Procharger and Whipple.

 

The problem he is having is being CARB legal.

Jenna is right. She lives a few hours south of me and knows the laws I'm dancing around. I have checked out Texas speed. I haven't decided stall speed yet. First thing that has to happen is the transmission. But go make legal power here is hard. Every part has to carry an Executive Order number.

 

As far as military discounts go, I have been out for a year and a half. I am not on inactive reserve either

Damn California and the CARB laws, gotta be some loop hole around that junk. I'm just glad I don't have to deal with that stuff yet.

There are grey areas. If it looks right they usually won't say anything. And I could change my residency because out of school I stay in Utah. But they have emissions testing too.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
