Yea, install should be a cake walk. Not sure when I'll get to the shocks. I want to go over my front steering and suspension components, and replace anything that's worn out, and get a front end alignment. I might just wait and install them then.

On the way home now with a new to me L33 5.3L

Well she's all hooked up an running. Great oil pressure compared to the old motor. Only problem is that the shift cable broke, and now I have to wait for a new one. Ugh! It's always something.

Got my new brake line and fuel pump installed today.

Easy to tell as the engine block is aluminum and think it has a b code in the vin.

That's correct. I didn't know these all corresponded with each other until finding the L33 RPO code in the glove box.

Yup same engine I have, it's got a little more hp then the standard cast iron flex engine.

what was wrong with the old fuel pump?! :rollin: Much better. How's the front end looking?

Nothing yet... It was corroded so bad it was starting to rust through the top, and the metal lines attached to the top were about to break any time. I figured I'd be better off to replace it now.

 

The front of the truck needs checked over yet. I know I'll be putting a new steering shaft in along with replacing any bad steering components. I also need to clean up the frame, and paint it too.

Agree on the pump. Good luck on the front. hopefully not too much needed.

Yea if it weren't for the corrosion I probably would have left it. As for the front I suspect it'll need a few things if not a lot. I was expecting a lot of work when I bought it because of the mileage. I'm just enjoying making it new again.

Got the underside of the bed painted today with the Chassis Saver. Also got the bed back on the truck. Just need to tighten up the bumper, and hitch bolts, and put the tail lights back in.

Whoever owns this truck after you is going to have a repolished gem on their hands!

 

Are you also planning on changing out the front end fluids? Tranny, t-case, etc.

Haha, unless my job changes I'll own this truck for a long time yet. It'll probably go to the junk yard after I'm done with it lol!

 

As for the fluids, I'm ordering some Amsoil transmission fluid today, and the transfer case fluid will be changed out within the next few months before winter.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?
