Hey guys I’ve got a 2014 GMC Sierra 2wd 4.3 v6 on a 7inch lift 22x12s and 35s the trucks got 3.23 gears in it and when I bumped up to 35s from 33s it seems like it is always constantly searching for gears on the Highway or above 50mph I get around 13 mpg and I would like to retain that or get better if possible and I’m trying to decide wether regearing the truck would be worth the money and also what gears to go to If I get it done if 3.73 or 4.10s would be better I would like to retain as much gas mileage as possible but not have the truck struggling 24/7 when it hits a hill it just sucks the life out of it or on the highway trying to maintain a decent speed I have a cold air Intake exhaust and Diablo tuner please lmk what y’all think438e023f7bec8ca1d68c355f4fe6fe65.jpg

I think the consensus on these trucks is 4.56 when running 35s.  I have the 6.2/3.23/ 8spd and haven't regeared yet and I'm not really sure I need to.  The truck hauls ass still.

Truck looks good Dave.
If you can afford it do it.
The v6 has to be struggling with those tires.
Does the tuner help any?

My problem is that motor I’m just trying to find ways to get it back to how it was so you would go with 4.56 gears?

Thanks man and yeah the v6 isn’t bad but it just can’t handle those tires at high speed and hold It the tuner did help a ton I noticed a big difference

I wouldn't put any more money into that truck I would buy something more appropriate. You'll be lucky if you can break even on a sale.

I know I’m not going to break even with this but this is the truck I could afford at the time and now I’ve got it so close to being payed off it it would be stupid to get rid of it I’m gonna run it till it blows

Try this. Get out on the open Interstate/Highway and run in M5. Put her in cruise control and observe. This little exercise will let you know what it would be like to run with a 4.10:1 diff in high gear. See how much help that step is. A test that cost you nothing but time.

Thanks man I will do that and my biggest issue is the truck is always and I means always Reving up in the rpms to move like jumping the Rpms it will never just cruise and I can give it a little without it jumping in rpms to try to move

Needs 4.10's at a minimum for 35's.

 

2WD makes it's easy and costs way less than if you had a 4X4. You need to tune for that as well. It will adjust the shift points for the transmission.

I’m having same issue but I’m 4wd but my cv axles are pulled out will I still need tune

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.

      That makes sense, and I agree with most of that.   I think the product would need both: 1. a default powertrain template, so it is useful out of the box; 2. user-selected priority parameters, so the owner or shop can choose what they want to see first.   Different users are going to care about different things. One owner may care about oil pressure and voltage. Another may care about misfire trend, AFM/DFM behavior, or U-codes. A shop may want communication events and repeatability first. Your baseline point is probably the most important one. Raw data is not very useful unless the report can show what normal looked like for that vehicle under similar conditions.   The way I would think about it is: - start with a basic known-good baseline - learn normal behavior for that specific vehicle over time - allow the event to be overlaid against baseline - show whether the event was a one-time spike or a repeatable pattern - provide a simple severity level, but with clear limits on what that severity means   For example, early severity could be something like: - Info: event captured, no obvious abnormal pattern - Watch: value moved outside baseline, but not repeated - Warning: repeatable abnormal pattern under similar conditions - Critical: communication loss, voltage drop, bus-off, reset, or severe repeated event   I would not want the first version to say “replace this part.” That would be overclaiming unless there is repair-confirmed data behind it. It would be more honest to say “this pattern deserves inspection.”   On the OBD port question, I think OBD absolutely has a role. OBD is probably the right place for: - DTCs - freeze frame - VIN - calibration information - normal scan-tool parameters - Mode 6 / enhanced diagnostic data if available The reason I am still looking at an ECM-side recorder is that the failure may happen before anyone connects a scan tool. If the owner plugs in a scanner after the event, the pre-event evidence may already be gone unless the ECU happened to save it. So I do not see this as “OBD versus ECM-side.” I see it more like: - ECM-side recorder: always armed, rolling buffer, event evidence - OBD/DLC companion: DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration, normal scan data - phone/cloud: status, notes, upload, report generation, notifications   I agree that phone connection and push notifications would be useful. I just would not want the phone or cloud connection to be required for capture. The recorder should save the event locally even if the phone is not connected. The phone should help with event marking, download, notes, upload, alerts, and report viewing.   For a default GM V8 event report, would this list make sense? - RPM - calculated load / MAP - throttle position - vehicle speed - gear / torque converter state if available - coolant temperature - oil pressure - oil temperature if available - battery voltage - commanded AFM/DFM state if available - actual AFM/DFM state if available - misfire counters / roughness by cylinder if available - fuel trims - relevant U-codes / communication events - bus-off / lost periodic message / module reset / voltage drop events Which of those would you remove, and what would you add?
