Flex or e85 conversion kit

[djxn40]

Hey fellas I'm looking for a E85 conversion kit for my 2016 5.3 6sp silverado. I tried searching here but came up with nothing. Maybe I'm not using the right keywords?

I'm not sure what to look for or what all a kit should come with... anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm sure this would require new injectors, fuel lines and a different ECM calibration. Maybe more

I'm not positive but I don't think it needs injectors and as for the ecm I have a tuner so I don't run factory tune anyway. I seen a kit somewhere on here like 6 months ago but wasn't interested at the time. I remember it wasn't that bad to convert it. Just can't find it for the life of me now

Interested in this as well but for my 15 6.2. ran it for years in my 2011 6.2 and I miss those E85 prices compared to premium.

From what I've read, you'll need injectors, ECM and the E85 sensor. With E85 I believe you need to be able to have more flow so you need injectors to be able to inject more E85. The ECM and sensor to tell that it's E85.

The injectors are different because they need to be able to handle the higher alcohol content and not break down.

I also apologize for the large signature picture. But since Photobucket wants $399 a year now to allow 3rd party hosting this is all I have for now until I can figure out how to make it smaller.

Just a sensor change is all that's needed as I have the ecm software. Injectors and other hardware are the same.

Yes, easy swap out when it comes as an option from the factory. We are lucky!

 

Wish I had e85 in my area, I'd do it to my 6.2 in a heartbeat.

I have the flex fuel sensor from cjtunes.  All is good.   Easy install.

I'm basing this question off of your info under your name...

Did you do the E85 conversion on a 2017 6.2L? What did that involve?

[Denali_King]

Yes.  Bought the kit from cjtunes and cut the fuel line.   The sensor has fittings on the ends that you tighten down and then plug in the sensor to the factory wiring harness.   Very simple.  Tuning is needed to run e85 tho.  I had mine tuned also.
