I've never understood why anyone would race a truck. With that being said, I do understand why a little tire smoke is necessary every once in awhile. :cheers:

My brothers 10 dodge is a 5 speed auto, new GMC is a 6, that the difference, he running a 355 rear gear too. As far as racing trucks its all fun different strokes on the track of course. My 92 chevy is 383 with a whipple etc. No tickets in 20 years, I use to drive 60k plus miles a year

Apples to apples, the EB wins. The EB has WAY more HP and TQ than the 5.3L

 

the EB has more tq about 40ftlbs at the fly wheel. and it has about 10 more HP that the k2. the k2's weigh about 300-400 lighter. not sure where you getting the EB has WAY more hp.

its just interesting to know what truck would win in a race. i know these are race cars or anything like that but it would just be interesting.

ecoboost vs 14 silverado on youtube.....silverado won...

 

post the link i cannot find it. i see the k2 5.3 race the 5.0 f150 but not the EB. i've seen the mgt-900 6.2 race the EB but i cant find any k2's racing the EB.

Smoke'm if you got'em.... Yep I broke the back tires loose with Traction control still on about a week ago. Put it in Tow/Haul and punched it from a light to get around the vehicle to my right... Man it was sweet. My 2007 would have never done that.

regarding 5.3 vs EcoBoost vs Ram 5.7, pickuptrucks.com compared them all. only measured 0-60 and no quarter mile times unfortunately. all current half tons are fast and slow depending on how you look at it. they're fast compared to pickups of the past, slow compared to any soccer mom's v6 sedan on the road.

hey man, i'm just sayin'. Trust me, a lot of people don't know where me or my truck are coming from. I still hear it from people how trucks aren't supposed to be fast, you could have bought a muscle car, blah blah blah. Even TechSTL said above in post #16 "I've never understood why anyone would race a truck". He is not alone. I understand where people are coming from, I just look at it differently. I grew up around hot rods. From my Dad's '69 427 'vette to my brother's various hot rods, '66 'vette, '63 split window '86 then '87 Grand Nationals, then '98, '02 and finally '05 VCA edition Vipers. I wanted a hot rod and I wanted a new truck. I could only afford one, but found a two for one deal that I couln't pass up. A fully functional truck with the max tow package able to pull or haul anything I need it to, and an all wheel(4wd) drive hot rod with almost 600 horsepower. It gets around in the winter quite well, and hauls mulch, pavers, lumber, family and ass pretty well also. To me it's the best of all worlds. :thumbs:

Oh Yea SilveradoSC540! I took a lot of flak over that when I spoke negatively about the 5.3 in my new 14' Silvy. I am like yourself in the fact that we come from a racing family from round track to dragstrips. I've had a 91' GMC Syclone for about a year that I regret ever selling. : ( I can tell you that once you ride in that truck for a while, you would feel like us both. I could pretty much take the wood to any modern muscle car from red light to red light and most of the time in the 1/4. I had a 97' GMC Vortec 350 that had a Whipple SC on it and that sucker was no slouch either, but the AWD Syslone just put all the power to the pavement. My Hemi Ram definitely would just kill my 5.3 Chevy, no doubts. I do think the 6.2 would be a different story. I'm about to trade in my 14' for a 15' 2500HD Duramax and quit screwing around with an inferior vehicle that I need to tow with and work with too. I know those diesel performance shops can flat out turn a diesel into a beast too! You have a nice truck btw bro!

Is that a '13 5.3L or a '14 5.3L ?

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
