I would see how it drives with the 3.08s first, a 33 is barley taller then a stock 265. But if you do swap, definitely 4.10s, 4.56 is a little aggressive for a stock height truck on 33's

 

Just out of curiosity, why would you choose the 4.10 over the 3.73? I am about to get 33s and I have 3.08's with the 5.3. Thanks in advance.

Probably future planning for 35s or he just wants it to have some go. I will be doing the same

Makes sense. What gears would you recomend if i plan on only running 33's. 3.73 or 4.10? Also how much would MPG's suffer from re- gearing? Thanks

How much towing are you doing? I will be towing a bit once i upgrade and also going 35s and a blower so gearing will help.

 

If you are not going to do much i would say 3.73s to also have that hwy mileage. But if you do more city i would go 4.10s.

If you are going with a blower then there is no real need to regear. I have 3.43's with a blower and unless you want to kill your top end there is no need to change them out.

Personally I'd go with 3.73's. Before I added the blower I was planning on 4.10's with 35's

Im not looking for a 1/4mile drag truck i just want a strong takeoff to scare the crap out of sports cars.

 

Mostly want the 4.10s for the 35s and the towing that ill be doing..... Its bot going to be much but i like to buy cheap cars here up north and tow them down to South texas and flip them for a profit. I will do the trek once every 3-4 month ls or so.

With my set up I have beat several 6.2's off the line with ease and I'm running 3.43's. If you are going to just regear with bigger tires and not do any thing else then I'd go with 4.56's. My 2door blazer is a stock 350 with 35" tires and 4.56 gears and she's a beast.

But.... I NEED the blower..... Thats what i tell the girlfriend. Lol

 

Got about 4 weeks to make up my mine as what is my path when i go home... Its either 6inch BDS with american force 22s on 35s with re gear or re gear and blower.

 

Plus i just bought an LS3 for the colorado....

 

 

Do i have a problem?? Should i seek medical attention? Hahaha

Not yet. All i have is an Airaid CAI.i have acess back home to very talented tuners that have LS world records in trucks ao im in good hands when i get home. Unfortunately i will not be able to compare just the tune its self as the truck is going in for the full treatment of head work, ARH headers, 4.10s all around, custom exhaust.... And if all goes well a whipple

I'm about 40 miles from waco tx

I'm looking for a good tune

Where would you recommend

Dont have any experience with any tuning shop that far north. Closest i have had experience with would be Nelsons Performance out of San Antonio

You'll love the blower but hate the gas mileage. If you get the blower what gear ratio are you considering?

If i go 35s it will be 4.10s

 

And if i wanted good gas mileage i wouldnt have bought a truck... Much less plan on a blower and lift lol

      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.

      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?
