get S/C installed & get used to it  ?

Big Brake Kit (BBK)

 

 

then, after you get used to it...

Blackbear tune

CAI

smaller s/c pulley (guessing you have a 3.4...go 3.1)

 

then when you want to get crazy:

LT headers (& maybe a resonator - to quiet it down a hair)

plug wires & 1 step colder plugs

custom driveshaft

even smaller s/c pulley (& new belt)

throttle body

retune

injectors/fuel system

cam/lifters (DOD delete)

pistons

meth

torque converter

etc...

 

LOL

Dude... baby steps. I'm into Corvettes and 1 out a 100 sold will be crashed coming out of the dealer....  LOL

Recently picked up a '18 6.2 silverado centennial edition.  Added a borla s-type catback system.  Installing a Magnuson TVS1900 Supercharger.  Had thought about throwing some long tube headers on it a

Beautiful truck. Always liked that 100 year anniversary truck color. Good luck with your build. I am all about speed and a charged 6.2L will fly.   Just curious, why didn't you get the TVS23

What is that you have mounted on the firewall? Did you add that? I am extremely unhappy with my tvs 1900 in my 2014 sierra, I can't drive it as it won't idle properly. They are not being helpful at SLP and I don't know who to turn to. I am at the point of unistalling it until I find someone who can help me.

@wilshire37

thats an oil catch can on the firewall.

 

 

sucks about SLP... what did they say when you talked to their support?

as it sounds like could be tune type issue.

also double check all connections that were removed during install.  maybe something didnt seat or got pinched.

 

how many miles are on your '14?

any maintenance items need to be looked at?   i.e.:  plugs, plug wires (maybe loose) , fuel filter, etc

 

check engine light?   might be worth getting it scanned for codes.

 

 

also curious.... what is your idle rpm?     mine used to be 500 & at times it would be rough just sitting there, but fine driving.

i got a BBP tune & had them bump it to 600.   fixed my issue

 

any local tuners close to you?  might be worth stopping by.

My idle on a cold start is normal, then as it warms up it drops to between 350 and 500 rpm. It then starts popping through intake and out the tailpipe like a bad maf. So I put a factory replacement in(AC Delco) and nothing changed. So I unplugged the maf and it idles perfectly until you touch the gas then dies and the CEL is present for the unplugged maf codes. I got it on the highway and it ran pretty good but under a certain speed decelerating it is awful. The truck has only 27462 miles on it. The only upgrades were MSD plug wires, fresh plugs, AFE coldair intake, gibson shorty headers and a magna-flo cat back exhaust. I also use a range technologies plug-in the OBD to keep it in V-8 mode. The truck is meticulously maintained since new. I did double check everything and it all seems tight. Sometimes it will stall and throw codes for the top o2 sensors having low voltage which makes sense because the idle will bottom out and stall. SLP support told me to email the tune guys and ask for a new tune and describe whats happening but no one is getting back to me. I will look into a local tuner, thanks for the reply and I will update if I figure it out.

That’s weird what plugs are you running. I have the LT4 plugs. Also I would get a professional tune def. it could be the idle parameters in the tune itself. Idk just throwing things out there.

shouldnt need range device now.   SLP should tune out the V4 mode

doubt that would mess things up, but might try removing 1 extra variable.

 

& 350 rpm is too low for idle.

really shouldnt go below 500

 

550 to 600 is better

Don’t use factory plugs you need a little hotter burning plug then factory. Also those pre loaded tunes are enough to get you going. Your leaving a lot of HP on the table. The tuner bumped my idle up to like 600 or 650. Plus are tour fans running all the time?

gat0r is correct we use EFILive, so the AutoCal or the V2 would be the way we would tune your vehicle with the supercharger,  and it would not be compatible with the SCT tuner.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
