Years ago we used to be able to swap a older engine block (this is in the 80's/early 90's) and they would emissions exempt you. Wish that was still used today! Out of my 4 vehicles 2 are emissions exempt. Sucks we all have to deal with it somehow. You will pass! Just talk nicely to your truck! ;-) haha

I do that when I tow the toy hauler.

 

And what I do for a living... I'm a full-time student. I do side work now and then

That sucks man, god up here you can basically do anything you want...I've heard of people getting caught for straight pipes and get a noise violation. But as for the actual emission stuff never heard of anyone getting in trouble. That must suck to deal with.

 

Hard to get into trouble in a province that has no emissions system anti tampering laws of any kind.

 

E fans only cause issues with the junk setups I see on trucks for sale on kijiji. 2005-2013 factory fans and the oem 05-07 harness with proper pcm control is absolutely rock solid. Way bettwr in the winter time too than that useless clutch fan.

 

I'm curious about improvement felt with the gmt900 intake. I have 2 of them( o e gmt900 and one trailblazer ss) and an x link but have never bothered swapping yet.

Mine came from an 06 TBSS. When I get everything it will be done. But I have other things that became a higher priority

Cool. Mine tbss one is off a low mile 07 that got swapped to carb and put in an old Camaro. Other one off my 100 dollar 4.8 lol. I have some time off in August so maybe I will try one on one of my trucks and see how it goes.

Oh, lol. I will link you a thread to see what some guys think of that Fast LSXRT intake, lol.

I read it is good for boosted applications. I alo read they are prone to gaskets leaking. That is wwjy I went with the TBSS intake

Yeah..... the one guy in particular ran 3 and not one sealed properly. His final one wouldn't run a heads cam lq9 properly so he gave up. He pee'd on it, ran over it with a garden tractor and then finally burnt it. Lol. If I get crazy I will probably go with a holley highram setup. Otherwise a tbss intake works really well apparently. Enough boost and the stock intake is just fine too.

      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

      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

      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?
