Hey @3tspapat,

 

I have access to a few 3D printers, what do you think the likelihood of being able to make a part would be?  I could fab up a tube with a 90 degree bend, however i don't know about all of the other measurements.  I definitely think that it would be able to print something with enough strength to stand up in the engine bay.

I contacted black bear late last year. They said they could tune the engine just not the transmission.    People also said no CAI for the eAssist. Well I made one fit. It’s jist a demand thi

Drive in L7. That will shut off V4/AFM and also start stop feature. I do this consistently and only set to “D” if I’ll be on the highway for prolonged trips. Even short trips I leave in L7. At 70 mph

@IncisionInd it's very doable! Friend was going to print one out but he never got around to it. I think the 90 bend would be the more difficult part to do because the space is so limited that if you print out a 90 elbow then put the rubber reducer on it to mate up to the throttle body, it would hit the coolant. Much easier to print out the straight pipe part with the barbs for attaching vent hoses and use a rubber reducing 90 elbow that will clear the coolant reservoir. I was so desperate was going to give all my info to many of the performance parts manufacturers for them to come up with something and then test it but none were interested. 

When researching this I saw that all the parts are so readily available that you just need to put it together.

Hmmm i'll have to look into this because if i can make it i'll just upload the 3D model for people to use and ordering from thingiverse is pretty cheap for people that don't have a printer.

 

Also, because i see you posting about AFM and auto start stop, i just got a new Range AFM and I can tell you that this thing is awesome and you get the full 8 gears in V8.

Hey can you give me the range part/order number? I asked Range if they support the L8B and they said no! I don't think they know their product too well.

 

How did you get it to CA?

Man the lady that responded to my email said no. what a nut case. Did they send it to you in CA or did you have to send it out of state first then back to CA?

Yeah that is very strange... it says it on your own website you should know about it.

 

Well I'm in TX and so there shouldn't be any issues with that, but they do say they wont send to CA.  So you may need to ship somewhere else and forward.

What’s up guys, another 2018 Silverado 1500 E-Assist owner. Welp trucks great she got an 8” lift and 35s. But I’m in the market for an intake, tuner, and exhaust. Seems like some of you are having tuner issues as well. Here to help if any is needed and please if you know of any air intake that will work lmk.

Yes it works on the E-Assist. The shifting does seem a little rougher but other than that it works fine. 

 

For an intake to work you need to either relocated the coolant reservoir or modify the intake tube itself. I did it with a GMPP and it works fine.

What is the part number for the GMPP you went with? It looks like there are three different part numbers for (what appears to be) the same thing at GM Parts Store. 84533096, 84794978, and 84794977. All list the hybrid as compatible.

Hi,

 

I got 84089441 which now has been replaced by 84533096. 
 

The intake pipe will hit the coolant reservoir. You will need to move it or modify the pipe so not a direct fit.

That's awesome, thank you for sharing the video. That quick video has more visual information on this topic than I've seen around here! How necessary is the catch can? Aren't the GMPP intakes oil-less therefor not putting excess oil into the pistons that would need to be removed?

When I had my 2018 Silverado hybrid, I just moved the coolant tank over a inch or 2 to the driver side and installed the S&B intake. 
 

 

This would be the way to go. I just wanted to make things harder for myself.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
