I would dump some octane booster in immediately. I guess that is the only bad thing about the custom BB tunes you cannot change it anytime you want to! With my HyperTech Max energy 2.0 part 2000 hand held I just plug it up and in a few minutes can change back to stock or change to premium or regular fuel tune and a lot of other parameters that I want on my 2016 6.2 8spd. I really like the option for the AFM of just making it come mon above a set speed instead of turning it completely off. I just today reset my tune to regular fuel from premium fuel tune. The truck has right at 10,000 miles on it so should be broken in well by now. I have a nearly a full tank of 93 octane now so I will run that down on the regular fuel tune and then the next 1/2 tank will be regular 87 octane gas as a test. (Not trusting a full tank yet LOL) and I will have a bottle of octane booster in the truck also just in case. Not sure how the engine will react as I have always ran the 93 octane premium fuel in it and used the premium hypertech tune. We have had some fuel shortages here lately in my area due to a pipeline break issue that has made premium hard to find so I want to know 100% if the silly thing will run OK on regular fuel with the hypertech regular fuel tune in place without pinging and clanging. Will try to remember to post back in a few weeks after my experiment.

This thread delivers!!!

 

Nothing is going to happen to your truck, just don't beat on it like a red headed step child. Both my dad and I run 87 in our 6.2s for daily driving or out on the hwy especially in the winter months when the e85 goes to crap.

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?
