Did you try a Whipple?

If son what problems did you have?

Tom

Yes, I installed a Whipple kit.  Albeit, it was on my 2017 but the experience has soured it for me and I will NOT be trying one on my 2019.

 

The "canned" tunes from Whipple just weren't dialed in for me.  The truck would buck, stutter, surge, you name it.  I must have tried a dozen tunes from Whipple and none worked.  Driveability was horrible.  I spent several hours of my life removing the kit and several hundred dollars returning it for only a partial refund.  Whipple made no apologies but I guess a partial refund is better than a $6500 chunk of metal sitting in my garage.  

 

Good luck.

I do too. The tcm can be unlocked but the ecm is not unlocked or tunable yet on the new body style 19 V8s using dfm.

The problem is that on a 17+ GM the trans really needs tuning when adding an SC but its not something Whipple can easily offer canned. The 18-19 trucks with SC run much better with custom engine and trans tune using an unlocked TCM.

The 19+ T1 trucks need an unlocked ECM to even get in and Whipple supplies a canned tune for that but trans tuning is not available at all for the Bosch T93 TCM.

The canned tune is also write only on these newer trucks so if the truck is modified beyond the sc kit with supplied pulley you will have to start from scratch with a stock truck file generated from the server.

These need a proper tune thru a tuner who can do a few dyno pulls and do driveability.  That way its all done correctly.  Until this can be all done its not worth doing, not for that kind of money...

 

For instance..I have a 2300 magnuson on my 03 2500hd, the tune they even give wasn't good. Its a night and day difference to have it done in person. Now its a forged  408 stroker, meth injected and at 12 psi a complete animal.

It appears Hennessey Performance has all of this stuff figured out, and is getting more power. I may look into going that direction instead.

I thought I saw a article when Hennessey had trouble tuning the new stuff. I'll see if I can find it.

I'm pretty sure you need to have the vehicle done totally by them...won't be cheap.

Right now I'm dealing with another issue that's best discussed elsewhere. Talking to Hennessey is pointless if things go badly. And, no, there's no mechanical issue with my truck at this time.

No matter what it is still in it's infancy and im not willing to be their ginny pig for the amount of money I have to spend.

I'll wait a while and see how things go.

      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.

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
