Installed the Air Raid JR MIT and filter today. Tomorrow will be a muffler delete then hopefully this weekend a de-badge.

Got a picture of it installed? How does it sound exterior and interior wise? Notice any gains?

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

I know its too soon to know right now, but I'm curious to know how much the lift alters you MPG's.

Probably not a lot. My AT4 gets about 2-3 mpg less than my '20 RST 3.0 got. Granted, my AT4 has the 265/60/20 tires on it and my '20 RST had the 18" wheels and 31" tires.

Havent noticed yet if there are any gains from the intake. You can hear it if you get down on it. Sounds nice to me. I had the muffler delete done today. So overall everything sounds pretty nice. Depending on weather etc, the badges will be removed this weekend.

I know that on trips from my home in North East Texas to College Station I averaged 25-27 mpg. Dependent on traffic and how big of a hurry I was in. Included in these measurements was my around town driving in CSTAT. I'm going to use those trips as a baseline and report back after I make two or three of them. With Football season over for my Aggies this could take awhile. I've been looking at different tires to exchange with the stock tires. I have a hunch that tire weight has a bigger impact than Aerodynamics on MPG. I've run the Wrangler SR-A's on my 2014. Hated them. I've also run the Cooper Zeon's on my 2007. Loved those tires. But I think my Mileage suffered.

I wont see that type of mileage in mine as it does not have DFM. Not that I am complaining. I turned AFM off in previous vehicles. I will say though, right now, the estimate given by the DIC is at 19.2 and its usually around 18.5. Its about to be the weekend though and only driving around town instead of back and forth to work so thats definitely going down lol.

Tailgate and rear corners de-badged, minus the GMC. I like that one there.  Ill have to get the Sierra that is on the fenders another time. Battery died in the drill. So I guess in two weeks when its time for her bath again Ill get both of those.

25-27 mpg definitely isn't accurate for a gasser.  That's gotta be for a baby Dmax.  Best 50 mile average I got from my 6.2 was 23.9, and many have stated the real world numbers indicate the 6.2 gets slightly better mpg than the 5.3.

I would think the 6.2 should. Even though its a larger engine, the power to weight ratio would help it not struggle so much to move.

Added black Wheelskins.  Wasn’t sure at first but I like them. Impressed with the fit.  Centers came from wheelskins. No bow tie, just smooth.  
 

Sorry for bad pics.  Had to take them in garage since it’s always dark outside nowadays when I’m not at work. Ignore the cluttered garage for now.  And the three boxes are an IKEA couch Christmas present.

Not the best location I have seen to hide a Christmas present, but it might work😬🤔

 

Wheels look good too!!!

Lol. I know.  It’s not really a surprise though, actually my 16 yr old son went with me to pick it up.

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      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?
