No I haven't.  It's actually $599 and it runs and shifts pretty good and I don't plan on drag racing this and getting every little 10th out of it.  So I haven't bitten the bullet yet.

I tried the T87 swapped in place of my T87A, but it didn't work. I have a Magnuson supercharger on the truck right now, and the downshifting is poor, so I might do the HP Tuners unlock and tune. That'll be $200 to unlock and then the 4 credits that I have left on my handheld.

What’s the best tuner for my 2017 Silverado 6.2?

Kind of a loaded question but for a stock truck you can get a blackbear or diablew tune. Or Get HPTuners and have someone send you a tune or learn yourself. I’d recommend looking into CJTUNES E85 sensor kit, too.

The CJ costs so damn much though.

 

The harness is already under the truck and the sensor for an impala is like $30. Couple fuel connectors and blahdow I got flex fuel for $50 bucks.

Yes there are cheaper ways but this is one very simple way. They have good write ups and info if nothing else.

For sure it's a simple kit, no doubt there. it's just about $200 too much for something like that is all lol.

 

I mean c'mon, $315 for a modified sensor with fittings and a harness extension.

Well i'm lazy and spend too much for ****** on my truck so its perfect. I didnt even look into how much it would cost to buy the sensor and build the harness extension. Times are tough. Trying to help out a small business haha

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
