I have a 2017 GMC sierra with 6.2L and I just installed a whipple kit on it. Everything went great, no coolant leaks, its tuned by black bear performance. On whipple's instructions it says to use factory map sensor, well with my kit it came with a new LT4 map sensor in the manifold already. My truck is having a rough idle, erratic acceleration, and sometimes it doesn't want to start, until after I crank it a few times. I believe the stock map sensor is 1 bar? and the LT4 map sensor is 4 bar if I'm correct. Part Number for new map sensor that is in the truck is (12644807) if anyone could tell me more info on that map sensor. My tuner made the tune for the stock map sensor, could that be why the truck is running poorly? The map sensor not tuned correctly so its telling the ECM false readings? Thanks

i could be wrong but you need to use the LT4 sensor, then in the software update the OS on the truck for it. if its tuned for the 1 bar you wont run.

okay that what i was thinking if it was tuned for the 1 bar, it wont run correct if it has the LT4 map in it. Thanks

your mixing incorrect parts with incorrect software calibration.  tow the truck to a tuner shop

yeah i emailed my tuner black bear performance to update tune for the LT4 map sensor.

Or you could just stick the stock map sensor in the intake and it would run.

 

Not like your tuner even bothered to tune the MAP portion of the tune anyway, nobody does. They just MAF tune it and send it on it's way because that's the easy way without a dyno and tons and tons hours to burn on a dyno.

well the problem is that the stock map has a different pig tail than the LT4 so I can't plug it in. My tuner should be able to tune for the different map sensor.

ahh i seen this issue on a youtubers video, look up preston moore on YT, he talks about your issue and has it fixed correctly on his setup.  email him on his website too . but the video shows how to do it.

      Mixed info from dealer and manual RE: 10 Speed 45K service

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm the original poster of this thread; I'm 85,000 miles now with no transmission issues after they did the fluid change without filter at 45,000.  I plan on a fluid change AND filter in another 5,000 miles and agree with you on staying to witness what happens if possible.  Ideally I would have done the filter at 45,000 too, but my original dealer was incompetent.  I've since moved on and get service done by another more reputable dealer, so I'm hopeful they follow the correct procedure at 90,000.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
