Did you get the transmission tuned as well or just the PCM?

$8.5k 

PCM was sent to HP Tuners, they unlock it and send it back, then ProCharger sends the tune files and you load them through your pc. 
I shipped it on a Monday, arived to HP tuners on a Wednesday and they shipped it back on a Friday aternoon. 

 


Absolutely everything works. But the car will not start at the first press of the start engine (starts at the second press). You need to take if yo someone (dealer, mechanic, yourself) with an MDI2 tool and SPS suscription. I did it myself and I am not a mechanic. My local dealer sucks and was lost on what needed to be done. 

What exactly did you have to do with the mdI2? I just ordered a procharger myself. Was hoping the hp tune would be all I needed for the truck to work fine. I have no experience in using a mdI2 but very willing to learn. 
Also If day you added a cat back or cai to your truck can you change parameters with the hp tuner they sent with the kit? Thanks man.

Truck looks unreal btw

any dyno numbers? send some videos of idle and acceleration please. I had a Procharger P1SC on my 2001 Silverado 5.3 back in 2001 and I'm considering one for my 2020 Trailboss 6.2.....

Did you have your hood scoop painted or were you able to order already color matched?

 

Congrats on going boosted. It's a lot of fun. Ran 682hp at the wheels on my last mustang.

What tunes did you go with? 93 octane, E-85? You can usually pick up considerable more HP running E-85 provided the tuner has the ability.

I had the K&N Cai and just reverted back to the system that comes with the procharger. It took 7 tune attempts to get my truck correctly working but the guys from Procharger are good. I guess they now have the correct parameters for future trucks. I do not have any CEL on. 

 

The MDI2 I bought from amazon (a bit expensive). There is a Chinese version but I decided to go with the original one. You actually do not need one if your dealer has a clue about things... (not my case). It is only for the truck to start the engine on the 1st push of the button instead of doing it 2 times each time. If you need more details I will be happy to help.

I had it painted locally, just by giving the color code.

I live abroad, so locally I get 95 octane.

The scoop is just because I like the way it looks. It may be removed anytime. It installs with a strong double sided tape
 

the light bar is a must for these trucks. The original hi-low beam is very bad. 
I did install the switch on the right side, which I feel is much easier to reach while driving:

Can you share more info about the LED Bar?  Where did you get it? Wiring? Thanks

      Fluid Change Questions

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
