Hello GM Truckers,

 

Just ordered the Banks goodies for my 19' 2500 6.6L, called them and they could not verify the a-pillar gauge mount fits the 19 model year, I was a little frustrated as I figured they want to sell products to 2019 owners as well.  Does anyone know if

Will fit the 2019, if not what are you guys running?

 

 

Thanks Happy Friday!

I hope you have the means to repair your truck when you have a fault..
You're about to void your warranty.

Thanks for not answering my question.

 

And Of course that's rather obvious, I have the means to remove air box, Derringer, and pillar gauges if I need to take it in for a warranty repair.  They advertise it that way, unless there is something they are not telling. 

 

Much appreciated

The derringer is what I am talking about.. The engine max torque output to the transmission is burned into the TCM.. It will void the warranty.. you can't just take it out..
Every program event makes the ECM and TCM counters go up..
I'm just trying to make sure that you are aware of this...
I can't help you on the pillar cluster..
I do wish you well on your mods though!

1---Thanks for the answer Jay,

 

2--Hillwood thanks for getting my attention to make sure I make the best choice possible.    I reached out to Banks directly just to dig on it a little, I dropped your quote below in the email.

If the Banks product was a programmer this information would apply.

Hmmmm, not sure if they are comprehending your statement or are dodging the answer.

 

What do you guys think??

Brent, the Derringer is an inline tuner, not a programmer. An inline tuner intercepts signals between sensors and alters them before sending to the ECU. The ECU and TCM are unaware that the data is being altered and change their calculations based on the information supplied by the sensor data, which again is being altered. Again, the ECU is unaware of the presence of the data-altering module. Hillwood is correct above where he points out that the TCM records high torque peaks. But it doesn't matter and here's why. To have your warranty voided, your engine or trans must suffer catastrophic failure then the techs must be able to determine that it was caused by the Derringer OR one of Banks competitors, of which there are a few. Here's an analogy. You leave the garden hose 1/4 open to slowly fill the flower pot in your. You walk away and come back a few minutes later and it's full to the rim. Based on past experience, you know it should have taken much longer to fill that huge flower pot. Did your neighbor open the nozzle to full for a moment, fill the pot, then close it down to 1/4 again while you were away? It would appear so, but you don't have video cameras in your backyard so you're left with no proof, just circumstantial evidence. If you're still on the fence, I recommend you join the Derringer Owner's Facebook Group and ask any one of the 800+ members. All are real L5P owners like you with real-world experience. Ask them then make your decision. Cheers.

Thanks a ton, Jay

 

I have requested 2 times to be added to the Derringer Group and it has been over 1 week with no response, am I missing something?

 

Thanks

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By glenn27 · Posted

      // Thank you, also for your  response. More information is always good. This 2013 GMC is most likely my 'forever truck"-I'm 77 and retired...and truck only has 42K on it-very clean-so I try to keep it that way.  Tks again for your  response- glenn

      Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)

      By smooth68 · Posted

      I started my install this weekend. Everything was pretty straight forward but I ran into one issue with running power through the firewall. The nipple grommet on my High Country already has a small harness running through it - has anyone else ran into this issue? And on the engine bay side, does the wire basically just penetrate the factory wiring boot? I did this on my '22 Trail Boss and it seems much easier but thats been a few years. My other thought would be possibly drilling a new hole adding a rubber grommet just to the lower left of the factory hole. Thoughts?   Has anyone used a T-harness off the Bose amp and obtained power from there? It seems a little odd that such a small amp needs 3 power leads

      By glenn27 · Posted

      ///// Ok--Thanks for that info--I could not find yesterday when I looked for the specs on that NAPA filter what I wanted. Their website is not very user friendly. I buy all teh filters for  our three vehicles once or twice a year. Have always run NAPA Gold on everything I own....I buy it thru my Son's account for his business-which he has a Heavy Equipment repair shop-one reason he uses NAPA so much-they have such a full line of coverage for just about anything/anywhere- He gets s  good discount because of volume bought. Anyway-Thank you -Sir for your response.   glenn
