Had a gear swap done today went from 3.42's to 4.10's. Happy with the feel so far, but still awaiting on tune update, and trying to take it easy on break-in

 

 

are the new gears Yukons? I'm interested in doing this when I lift my truck. Also, is this something the dealer can flash into the onboard computer or do we have to go aftermarket tuning only? thx

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

AAM. I believe the only way to update the computer is aftermarket as 4.10's are not a factory option on the 1500's.

Added my step bar leds today. Tied them I to the dome lights so they come on anytime the dome lights are one. Works great with the key fob unlock and such.

When I added my hid's I had to shut the exterior lights off so I would not burn out the ballasts with the on off cycling of them. So figured after reading others on adding footwell lighting and assist lighting. Figured it would be the perfect mod for adding light while in dark parking lots and such. Works great and for like $70 bucks and an hour in my garage. They turned out great and put out tons of light.

I cannot take credit for figure this mod out. There are several members who have done similar mods and I used the great info that they provided. Here is a link to where I got some of info to complete.

This is just one place. There are several other links as well.

I cannot remember the brand. My brother found some on ebay. They were a set of two 5 ft long strip of led lights with a rubberized coating. 3m tapes to hold under the rockers. I can get a closer shot of them if you need me to. We ran the wires through the rubber grommet on the drivers side that the e brake cable goes through. And on the passenger side there is a plastic plug we drilled a small hole in then used silicone to ensure the hole was fully sealed. Snaked the wires under the carpet and behind the dash to the wiring harness that controls the dome lights.

Sorry that happened. Did you shear the bumper? Surprised it would break off like that.

 

Edit...I see now that the bumper bent and the cover lifted making it look broken off.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
