I was wondering if anyone has seen an example of this engine used in the camaro zl1 and corvette z06 placed in a 1500. Would the 8 speed tranny even be able to handle it? I don't have the funds to try it, but I sure think it would be cool.

you mean the LT4, yes it would be fine with the 8L90 - 8 speed. Heck soon your going to see a few factory pull offs for guys who want to make more power. Lots of LSA SC's were installed on loads of Gen 4 and even gen 3 engines with adaptor plates.

It would be a whole lot easier and cheaper, and likely better, to just swap in an l86, upgrade the pistons, and slap on a tvs2300.

 

Tvs2300 > lt4 blower

I looked up the cost of that engine and supercharger and its about 14k for both. The lt4 is about 13.5k. So about even if I account for the better performance from the tvs.

Maximum performance engineering in Bristol, RI built a '14 6.2 truck w/ blower but used the 6 speed I don't think its stock either though believe they pulled the tranny & had it built up.

So then it might be wise to take the 10 speed auto from the zl1, but I'm sure it would take modification of at least the driveshaft if not the transfer case. I'm guessing that if no one has done this it's because it's a $20k + upgrade!

I'm sure someone will do it. Why would you need to upgrade the driveshaft or transfer case? Both are already beefier than the Vette's torque tube or Camaro shaft? It's not going to make 1000hp, may make 500whp in a truck.

The 10 speed is slightly longer if I remember correctly. The rear drive shaft would have to be shortened to accommodate it. Transfer case would probably be ok, but need a slightly longer front drive shaft.

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
