I dont know what that is but I dont like it. It says turbo timer. Ok no big deal on that but Retard boost? And rev limiter, why what is wrong with the stock one? Also the dial is so small how do you know what it is set to?

I never saw one before. My pod gauges have a light too. As does the dash gauge. The dial gauge has a light. So if there’re green under acceleration hammer stays down. The dash gauge has a break in the line as long as you’re there every thing seems to be fine. I’m sure the MSD is tide into this too. I don’t race anymore so I’m not that worried about max performance. I dropped it down to 6 lbs of boost from 12. I just like too know what the deal is with it. Move the dials does things. I can make it run bad or ping. No instructions, can’t find anything on line.

I bought my truck 8 years ago completed. It has boost retard, timing, and rpm limit dial controls under the dash. It has a safe zone the a yellow area, came with no instructions. I tried looking on line for how to work it in conjunction with each other, no luck. I when cleaning the dash accidentally move them one day out of the safe area without realizing. The pinging that resulted I was sure l blew a piston. I move the dials back to the safe area everything was cool. 2b138ecbbff09a432b3be31476ca8857.jpg My truck has a Whipple.

Is that made as like boost controller for your super charger? I've never heard of this.

Me either. It does stuff too. It will cut off at the RPMs you set. You can get it to ping moving the dial around. My problem is I’m hard of hearing. The higher stuff pinging, treble, kids and female voices (lucky me). So I’m skittish about messing too much especially with out instructions. It has forged pistons so I don’t think I would cause too many problems.

Yea that's very interesting. Although rev limit doesn't seem very safe at all lol

Every new vehicle has a rev limiter. That year model truck doesn’t. MSD ignition allows a rev limiter. The controller lets you dial that. That’s the only thing I figured out on the set up. The rest I’m unsure of it’s purpose.

Oh ok I get it. Sorry to hijack your thread 1slow1500

 

Back on topic did you buy hp tuners to tune it? What does on3 use for their in house stuff?

I bought the hptuners to tune it.
On3 has used a local guy with hptuners also.
I have tuned in the past but the gen V was a hard learning curve. So I had help a long the way.

Getting warmer so finnaly got a few things done. Still need to cut and mod the crossmember for the remote oil filter. But looks like I need to order longer lines.

I need to find out what the extra plug behind the light switch is for. Hope it is the trailer brake controller. Then I can just get a gm one and relocate it under dash.1cd26596ae3770b37ab442ab472c4c9a.jpg8e90000cd70108b3a8409008ded9cabd.jpg572cfb6978d8572ea6b6faebc93552c1.jpg

Plus is for the controller, but it’s not plug and play unfortunately. 
Software program only?

I've been reading alot on driveshaft issues on our trucks and high speeds. Yours is upgraded right? Seems like a 2pc is the way to go. Although none of them are direct fit because you have to drill for the support. I'm deathly afraid of going 100mph or faster in my truck due to the driveshaft horror stories I've seen. Have you gathered any info in this area?

Mine isn't stock but isn't what I want either. I want the two piece steel smaller diameter shafts. Yes you need to drill the frame rails or weld them in. Being lower the two piece is better on the angles also. I'm in spec but rather have negative pinon angle for the seals and oil supply.
Issue is the shafts are rated at 700hp ish.
And as anyone that has build high end vehicles will tell you that is bs. Torque is the better measurement and where do they get this number? Flywheel or rwhp?
So I was trying to spec a better two piece but not much luck.
I get nervous every time I'm over 100. And done many 140mph runs.

Have you seen this one? Rated 800hp? Unknown as to 800hp at the fly or wheels..
I have I would need to mod the crossmember and I question some of it. I think the 800 is flywheel. Love to get the specs of that then have a local shop build them out for me out of better material.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?
