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.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      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?

      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.

      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.
