Yeah obviously lol, I just rented a $100k navigator in FL. And an $80k mercedes gls before that.

 

I clearly said nobody rents 6.2 pickups, why, because nobody rents a pickup unless they need to haul or tow something, and you don’t certainly don’t need a $50k msrp in a 1500 for that.

 

Thus the rental services do not offer them, thus what I said was accurate.

And I qualified my statement.  "I did not see any high end pickups..."
Further, you cannot tow with a rental from Hertz or any other traditional rental company.  It is specifically forbidden in the rental agreement.  U-Haul yes.

Thats fantastic, not sure what that has to do with you informing me that I was wrong and rental companies actually rent high end vehicles, when I never stated they didn’t.

 

clearly we have a case of you not using logic again

Ok, ok....let’s not turn this into more than it needs to be and keep it positive for OP’s sake. Hugs anyone [emoji847] lol

Half of the vehicles or more of the vehicles I’ve owned have been high performance vehicles. Half again used. All that matters is the price reflecting the value.

Im having a grand time reading all of this xD

 

Im happy to update, I got the tranny flush and filled and the tranny shop of course followed the TSB. I drove it to a far gas station to let her warm up and see how she handled. I have not noticed any shift which is fantastic!! Tranny sits at 153 Degrees and never climbed (Keep in mind im in texas as well and it was 100 Degrees outside when driving).

 

@TXGREEK - What a coincidence. I am greek as well and in TX xD

The L86 is the same block, valvetrain and bottom end as LT1, but LT1 gets different intake/exhaust manifolds and tune. And weren't all LT series engines hand assembled? Or was the reserved for special engines like LT3 and LT4?

New to the forum here and can somebody point me in the direction of this TSB for the tranny?

Use good oil & filters (right now I'm running amsoil 0~40 full synthetic and WIX- however there are other good combinations out there).

 

 

Im only seeing 0-20 on AMSOIL's for my truck, should I be okay with their lowest tier synthetic of that type? Its their OE series oil. I have never used AMSOIL before but I see great reviews

Sure, its designed for those who follow the OLM and don't extended oil changes past OEM recommendations.

 

PS, I have used AMSOIL for 40 yrs. That have a distribution center in Arlington! 1 of 13 notionwide. They been producing synthetic oil since prior to 1972. Made in the USA, Superior, WIS.

I only use Amsoil Signature Series 0w20 along with Wix XP Oil filter.

Im assuming WIX oil filters are better than AMSOIL's own filter?

I was told Wix makes the Amsoil filter for them. There’s a YouTube video showing how they’re both identical in every way, same everything and both capture as small as 20 microns.

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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
