Denali AWD stabilitrak learning request

Am experiencing some strange issues w/ stabilitrak on 2003 Denali.

 

Denali was upgraded by Lingenfelter w/ 500 HP performance package which includes super charger, 2800 Yank coverter, Rossler transmission, 20" wheels w/ 305/45R Pirelli Scorpion tires. I bought it 3 months ago...just had the transmission refreshed and when the ECM recalibrated the ride characteristics it changed.

 

My understanding of how the computer does it's magic on ride control is limited. I've ordered the GM Service manuals to help w/ my education but won't get 'em 'til next week. I've searched forums and other links I've collected and haven't found the detailed info I want/need to figure out why it is misbehaving.

 

When starting from a stop w/ full throttle it bucks like horse...honest. AWD grabs like a SOB initially, then some slipping of the tires (not much...there is lots of rubber on the road), when it feels the slippage it tries to compensate the way stabilitrak was meant...I presume...

 

I question why it may or may not be correct because it didn't do this before the transmission replacement nor when it first came off the jacks. Now 3 weeks later it won't give me smooth (very fast!!! ) start.

 

Any ideas? Any links you care to share?

 

Yes, this bad boy is fun. Mustangs should fear me!! I'll embarrass 'em at every opportunity.

Stabilitrak does only one thing it only keeps the vehicle under control when the steering wheel is turned on direction and the vehicle is going another. In straight line acceleration it does nothing. You may have traction control and its controlling the slippage. Corvettes have had it since 1997 and my 01 has 425 rwh and suffers no acceleration problems. If i leave the traction control on at the drags it just slows it down until traction is achieved. Leaving the activehandling/Stabilitrak on which i do has no effect on 1/4 mile times.

With 500 horsepower, and your traction control on, your computer is trying everything it can to drop cylinders from firing to keep it from spinning. It's not designed for that. Even with your stablitrak off, which should disable your traction control, 500 horsepower at full throttle, your drivetrain isn't designed for that.

Ahhh, come on, surely you know my setup it is a light weight version of LPE. I'm needin' can do help...bye...

 

Soon I'll have the right six numbers then I'll upgrade...dreamin'...

 

Lingenfelter 427 Twin-Turbo Escalade EXT

 

Lingenfelter retained the standard full-time four-wheel-drive system. The transmission was upgraded with stronger clutches and higher shift pressure for $2795, and a $1495 high-performance torque converter was added. Other goodies included Alcon brakes for $5375, a suspension stiffening for $1695, and 20-inch wheels wearing Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires for $6550. In addition, the steering system's idler arm was stiffened with a series of gussets for $600. Okay, you'd better sit down. This Escalade—including the cost of a new 2002 stock $50,015 vehicle—came to a heart-fluttering base price of $124,500.

Traction control is part of the stabilitrac, I have had my 2003 YDXL off road and couldn't clinb the smallest sand dune until I turned it off. Push the off button when you think it will interfere with your driving, it limits the drive by wire throttle and applies the abs.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
