So ever since I had lift n tires and gears done I've been needing to recal my speedo. Was off a lot. Finally got the balls to tune it with a Diablo Intune i2 yesterday. Did the 91 tune with corrected gear ratio, corrected tire size, firm shifts and DOD off. Took a ride today to a buddies house and this is what I am getting for mpg now. I was pleasantly surprised.

Solid 18 mpg combined highway/town.

Cruise on 70 = 18.1mpg

Cruise on 75 = 16.2mpg

Off highway back roads to his house... get this...over 19mpg!!

Tranny shifts way better. No V4 crap. All around better response and drive.

Ok so back on the 11th I posted this pic of my mpg's the day after I installed a canned Diablo tune.

Figured I'd update with a pic of my mpg's after 400 miles of all around driving. I am pleased and am planning a custom Diablew tune shortly. Maybe I can improve on mpg's a little more.

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

Pretty sweet! Looks like you had fun and beautiful truck. I will have to head up there when I get some free time and check it out. Haven't been in a couple years now.

For anyone who was wondering about tire fitment with a 4" lift, here are a few pictures of my truck. I ended up going with a 4" Fabtech and 295/60R20 Nitto Trail Grapplers with stock wheels. Rides great and only slightly rubs the plastic wheel well and full lock. Hopes this helps anyone who was curious.

did that lift measure out to be a true 4 inches? I got a level and a body lift totaling 3.75 inches in lift and was wanting a 295/60/20 but wasn't sure if it would rub bad..

I believe so, it's a 4" Fabtech I purchased from 4 wheel parts. I'd have to read deeper into the specs to find out the true lift measurements. I've had the kit and tires on for about 6 months now and don't have any complaints.

I can't figure out why all of these manufacturers that make these 4" SST type lifts always say "WILL NOT WORK WITH OEM WHEELS", then every lift I see in use has the factory wheels rolling right along.

 

Truck looks good!

Looks great. I think Rough Country always leaves a little too much rake with their 5 inch kits whether it's the bracket or knuckle lift.

Thanks man. I think they should include a little bit of a smaller block for the rear, that would probably level it out. I decided to go with the spacer though. Didn't want to lose any height.

Just dropped my 2015 gmc sierra all terrain off to get lifted. I'm going with a 7-9 mcgaughys black ss lift set at 9 with an add-a-leaf as well as a 1.5 inch zone body lift. I also have a set of bushwacker fender flares and 4.56 yukon gears. For tires I am using 37x13.5r20 toyo open country m/ts and for rims I am using 20x12 fuel assaults with a -44mm offset. As well a cat back borla atak exhaust. I am beyond excited. Pictures will come when I pick it up!!!

Truck looks good!

Usually these with oem rims are running a wheel spacer in order to clear spindle or upper arm as when lifting your tires come in naturally so to offset and act like an aftermarket wheel they run spacers to clear

      2026 Silverado ECM location

      By sFrank · Posted

      So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
