Going to install the autometer nitrous gauge looks kinda simple not too hard but will tell you all how it turns out. I have a a autometer air fuel raio now and need something to mesure the bottle pressure. The one that zex sells with the kit is realy small and fits by the tank wich i dont have much room for. I put the bottle under the seat, so its hide away anytime i dont need it.

 

but heres a pic of the gauge

That's a sweet looking gauge - where ya gonna mount it?

 

I'd be interested in hearing how well your truck responds to the juice & if you had any issues with it, what you had to do to get it working.

im going to mount this thing in the pillar pod ill send in some pics when i get it done. Its kinda cold out now to be follin with it but ill get it done. Ill also have to post a pic of the bottle as well. The truck responds realy well honestly its the most bang for the buck as you could get. its just kinda risky, not a whole lot of people want to mess with it so usally you end up installing it yourself or with a crazy mechanic. The truck would never spin tires from a dead stop like that before. I only got a 75 shot so its not out of controll too bad but it is fun. As far as issues i belive any additional strain you put on a motor will add problems but you can fix those problems if you prepare for them....wich i didnt..lol....I have some check engine lights that come on but there only o2 sensor codes so i just keep deleting them. Other than that i just keep an eye on things and listen to the motor for any probs. or weird sounds.

Did you do any computer reprogramming?

yeah i did, i have a hypertech that allows me the usall top speed limit to be increased, shift points, shift firmness, and octain levels. But honestly nothing nitrous specific. The hypertech is not detailed enough for what i need so im looking at a custom tune or a diablo sport. But all you need for a wet 75shot is "0" degrees timming wich is hard to do with standard programmers.

I would think that you'd have to have a Nitrous-specific tune to make it all work...??

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
