It will only smoke that truck if your both racing at part throttle.  I’ve personally never tried that.  It doesn’t add any wot horsepower, it just tricks you into thinking you have more.  

Not through the quarter. It responds and takes off soo much faster the other one doesn't have time to catch up.

I have a 2021 6.2L TrailBoss and I have added a 3.0L Whipple Supercharger and ECU unlocked by HP Tuners. All the work and dyno tuning has been done by National Speed Inc. They have been able to squeez

What I don't understand is why everyone is upset at the cost to tune their vehicle.  Something that will last as long as you want, but think nothing about throwing $3 to 4k on wheels and tires. Then a

I think we have a language barrier.  I’m saying gradually adding hp or torque is easier on the drivetrain, and you tell me I’m wrong and then say the same thing.  I think.

My understanding is it tricks the truck into removing torque management.  ie, instead of the throttle blade "slowly" opening, it's instant (or somewhere in between instant and stock).  It's meant to put less shock on the drivetrain for reliability

@GTPprixcare to weigh in on yours vs theirs?

 

I too worry about warranty.  Are you able to get around the speed limiter (and other things this other device can do) through the BCM alone?

How is instantly adding hp less of a shock than slowly adding hp?

Um... tap your thumb with a hammer

Now tap it harder

Now go to town

 

Which hurts more?

 

To be closer to apples and apples, neutral drop your truck several times and let us know how that trans (or at least the input shaft) holds up

 

Google "Torque Management", I didn't just come up with this out of thin air

Not sure what you’re after specifically however you can find the features list on the site which is pretty extensive. Warranty wise our biggest customers are dealers if that tells you anything ;)

I just noted the price of yours was less and has more options.  To be honest, I'm not a fan of the piggy back systems but they DO seem to be better for those uptight dealerships

 

Guess the only thing I wasn't 100% sure on was that speed limiter.  Would have thought it was part of the ECM

It's not adding HP it's opening the throttle faster. Therefore the truck takes off faster. faster throttle = faster take off. It's a huge gain but it will break stuff.

Sorry, the post I quoted you sounded like you were saying that instant torque/hp is easier on the drivetrain than slowly adding it.

I’d say dealer wise you’re fine with either. BCM’s don’t report CVN’s like an ecm or tcm so unless you tell them they really aren’t going to know and the odds are pretty good they are one of our customers anyhow ;)

 

BCM is actually the speed limiter master, that’s why when you get tunes they have to set it from “external” or “other module” to internal.

It 100% is

 

Lift your rear end up 1/2" off the ground and spin the wheels to 100mph in the air.  Drop it down and watch everything shatter.  This is the extreme but torque management hinders performance for durability

Thanks for the clarification, Chris.  I haven't programmed an ECM myself since the 870/165s in third gen F-Bodies where you still needed to wipe it using UV light lol

FWIW, I plan on ordering Chris' option since I first started looking just for having the Window UP via keyfob function.  The fact it comes with oodles more is icing

 

I'm also a sucker for a small business over large corps ?

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
