A while back i posted about my venture on adding a blower to my 2015 high country 6.0 with 4:88 and pedal commander. Did a whipple blower with intercooler, 1000 cc injectors, ngk plugs, msd wires, walbro 540 pump on e85.   Truck didnt fit on the dyno so he street tuned it with the wide band.  He said the truck is a beast.  He said it makes a ton of low end torque.  I pick her up tomorrow and put her to work and see how much of a difference.  He said that this truck has no ethenol sensor it has a virtual setting that adjusts off of the af sensors and o2 sensors.  Which is good cause he said i will have no issue running e85 or 93.  He said i made a easy 150 hp n tq over stock. Whipple was 4900 Injectors 700 Walbro was 75 Wires 100 Plugs 80 Install n tune 3000 So about 9k into it which was about my budget

Here is my update on the 15 6.0 with a whipple.  Went back to tuner today for the issues i was having.  Pedal commander and whipple no good.  Had to get rid of pedal commander.  Changed a couple of mph shift points and driving a lot better.  But do miss the pedal commander.  Trucks virtual e85 is garbage.  Installed dsx e85 kit and went from 50% to 72% ethenol.   Gas up tonight and put her to more work and see what happens.

An actual pedal commander would definitely cause you to have a hard time. It throws the vehicle in limp mode too easily. The only one that could possibly work would be the pedal monster from banks because it gets power from a different source then the pedal. And doesn't put vehicles in limp mode when it fails.

Looking for insight.  2015 6.0 just did a whipple.  Only does it when giving more than 50% throttle.   Having issues and trying to figure it out.  Heading back to tuner for 3rd time next week.  Sent him this from another group  Dirk Diggla doesn't look to be a convertor issue, especially if Temps are still normal. Every convertor failure I've seen,, the 1st warning signs are 6th gear shudder and higher than normal temls from slippage,    id be intersted in seeing what was done to the VTT tables and reported torque tables in your tune. These gen 5  E78 pcms are 100% torque based and if those 2 tables aren't done correctly cause lots of issues. I'm betting your tune is way off  His reply Hey Andrew, I’m m not sure what that noise could mean, I read what you sent that you found online, but the VVT tables are stock and untouched, the TW tables were raised in the correct areas, I was able see the video I’m not sure what that noise is..   Looking for insight.  Know its hard without a log file to view.

    • One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...
    • 'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine. 
    • New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.
    • I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.
    • I would never do anything but lithium.   If the vehicle is stored, just turn the disconnect off. My batteries are completely disconnected form everything in the trailer when my disconnect is off. Trailers don't always come that way as some still keep the CO/LPG monitor on. When mine is off...it is off.   As far as storage temps, LiFePO4 are good down to -20°C. I would store them in a heated place if it goes below that. You can also get heating mats with a thermostat if power is available.   The way the heaters work, if it's below 0°C, if a charge comes in, it is directed entirely to the heater until the battery gets above 0°C and then it allows the charge to go to the battery.   For my Android tablet I use as a display, I can move it inside my house if I was ever in an area that got super cold.
