I thought the reliability of the Chevy trucks had improved over the years.

Haha I'm talking about the 350z.

LOL I know this is a GM site , just pulling your chain . Trust me when I say the Z has never had an issue in 10 years.

That would look great on your high country.

 

The 6.2 will open up quite nice with a tune. I don't remeber exactly what I say but I think it was about a 20-30 hp/tq increase at the wheels. I'll try to find the thread and check out the dyno sheets posted. But the 6.2 tuned will have similar results to the new corvettes with the 6.2.

 

Edit: found the post

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well at least you'll have one reliable Z now lol.

Thanks good info there. I didn't think the 6.2 could run on E85?

Throttle response improvement is what I'm really after

Truck looks great, really like the level and 22s [emoji106]

I've been looking into a diablew tune recently for my 6.2, I had a custom tune done on a predator for my old f150

How does it open up the 6.2? How are you liking it

Thanks! The tune actually made quite a bit of difference over stock, one of the most noticeable things being the throttle response and shift points. I also really like the ability to turn off the DoD, which can sound crappy with an aftermarket exhaust when it goes into 4 cylinder mode. I have mine tuned for 93 octane and it is quite an animal. I briefly put it back to the stock tune yesterday to take it in for scheduled maintenance, and that was a good reminder of how improved it is with the tune (I loaded the custom tune back on in the service department lot before I even left the dealership haha) .

Oh shoot I'm the last person you have to worry about offending! Glad to hear your Z hasn't been a headache. Almost everyone I know who has owned had a lot of problems with them past 60,000 miles.

The L86 was actually designed to run on E85 like the other direct injection engines. If you find the initial press release by GM you will that the engine is listed as flex fuel capable. Supposedly they pulled the plug on E85 for the L86 as its numbers would have rivaled the LT1 (corvette) numbers. But with a couple new parts and flexfuel sensor the L86 runs beautifully on E85. And the gains are impressive as well.

Got some fuel mavs this weekend. Truck isn't very clean, but love the look of these wheels on my truck. New tires will be on soon.

Good to hear. I'll get around to having one done up eventually

Are you using the trinity or intune? I don't have many stations with 93 where I'm at but have run 91 since day one and I'm sure a performance tune based on 91 will still kick ass

I have the Intune. It's pretty slow to boot up and such, but gets the job done. Very simple drag and drop of Diablew's tune files from email into the Intune.

I was considering a color matched black grille from a z71...I agree that it's a lot of chrome, haha.

I would interested in your High Country Grille if you do..

Since it's been raining a lot lately, which is good, here's a older pic when she was somewhat clean...

What size tires do you have on that beauty?

That would be 305/50r20 Toyo At2's measuring out to 32" tall ??

Just delivered last Friday! 2016 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 All Star Edition. Love it! The 2012 GMC Sierra was a great truck with no problems, but when I saw this one, I had to have it!

Bought her 'used' with 2500 miles on the clock in June 2012. Started a practice in July 15 and it became my work truck.

 

2014 Silverado 1500 LT Z71 CC 4x4. Currently stock. Getting new rubber tomorrow.

    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
