Just watched a video on Banks Power's instagram talking about a "new" L5P for 2020. Hoping they use Gale's knowledge to up the power and get closer to that 1k ft. lbs. from the factory. Thoughts?

GM published numbers indicate  the 2020 will have same HP and torque as the 2019. 

 

Haven't yet seen anything from GM that says the rpo is still L5P (but seems likely since output the same) 

 

 

Is this a new Banks video? (or the teardown and review one from a couple years ago?) 

 

Link?

I assume it’s new stuff from Banks, not from GM. 

Do watch the link in Logans post.  (or here)

 

 

 

It's NOT the video from Jay's post.

 

It's IS a walk through of a bunch of changes made to the 2020 L5P,  and it's not a Banks sales pitch. 

 

 

He does take a shot or two at the 'lets make massive horsepower for a few seconds crowd'. 

 

It's about 14 minutes.  

I found it an interesting watch.

It was a great watch. It seems GM is stepping it up in the cooling factory (finally). The 17-19 L5P’s cooling is much better than years prior and it looks like 2020 is bringing even more improvements.

Thank you for the other video. So much more cooling from GM for towing heavy loads. Great info.

Give the credit to Loganck97 who posted the original link.

 

I was just trying to make sure everyone realized it was not the same as the teaser vid where Gale was 'hiding' the engines in the shop.

Only big change i know of is that is the Dirtymax's will all have 10 speeds now, kind of odd they didn't give the 6.6 the 10 speed as well but then again this is GM, as some of their options dont make sense. I also dont see the numbers changing on the DIrtymax . It runs great and GM is not into the numbers game as much( HP and TQ that is ) but the new 35k towing is bad ass

No change to ratings, but take the time to watch Gale's video regarding the L5P changes for 2020.

Biggest difference from the TFL Truck videos that I took away was the fact that unlike the 2017-2019 L5P, there is no power choking in 1st gear.  They re-calibrated the powertrain to offer all the beans in 1-10th gear.

There is  new trans driveshaft and differentials/axles to support it...

Can I stuff one of these into my '14 Sierra 1500 ?  LOL

In all seriousness I hope GM kicks ford and RAM in the ass with the new engine offerings.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
