I know now what my 6.2 will run in the 1/4 mile!

Took it out tonight and ran a 14.385 @ 96.55 mph. 2.179 60' but spinning a little but not much. Probably could have clocked off a 14.30 maybe had I gotten another pass and held traction. Just got crowded too soon to run again.

 

It's stock with the exception of removing the spare tire. I figured that was 69# that I could do without for the night.

Turned it off, did my burnout, staged, torqued up to around 1000-1200 rpm and hit it. Apparently did not get the tires hot enough or the tires just won't hold.

Probably need a few runs to dial in your rpm, 2WD vs 4WD etc. I remember back in '86 picking up a couple of tenths in my brother's Grand National by pulling the headlights out in front of the air intake.Seems like the little things can make a big difference.

How do you dial in your rpm with the stock tune? It's a 2WD 2013 extended cab Silverado.

 

Interesting taking the head light out! Not sure I'm that serious with drag racing this truck unless it's an easy mod.

I meant dial in your rpm as far as what you launch at. As far as the headlight, our intake is through the fender and not behind the headlight. Besides, I just swapped out my headlights and trust me, it's not something I'd pull just for a number.

If you are interested in improving your quarter mile time, replace the stock torque converter with a 3600 2.5str stall, you already have a trans cooler, I would also change the stock flex plate with a SF29 race grade unit.

 

You would easily take off 1/2 a second from your run. A dyno tune would be needed to adjust the shift points and idle.

Almost too nice a truck to make any major modifications. a converter works great for acceleration but if too loose not so good for street. I really just wanted to see what the truck will do. Thanks guys!

Fold ur mirrors in, take headlight(s) out, as least fuel as possible and remove tail gate...they say you'll gain 1/10 every 100lbs you remove

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
