Fellow Evo-ites..

 

I spoke with Edge tech support this morning - there is a updated ECM program with todays date of 10/11 waiting for us

 

( Hopefully with my missing ECM code )

Awesome Thanks for the info.

 

 

Geese, I just updated mine several days ago to the 10/04 update, and the truck is still learning the new update...

 

Today the truck threw a P000 code.. Have no idea what that is, but I only have 120 miles since I flashed the new update into the truck. The Edge Evo doesn't know what the code means either.... I contaced tech support and the guy told me he had no clue, and to just clear the code and then install the new 10/11 update. We'll see.

Not sure what's new in this week's update, but I'll find out as soon as my wife gets home with the Denali. Edge releases updates every Wednesday afternoon, so this isn't a real "shock" per se... Sometimes they release updates on other weekdays as well, but it's a good bet that on a Wednesday afternoon if you connect your Evo to your PC and launch Lightning that it'll find and allow you to download an update. What I'm really looking for is a 6-speed transmission program w/ custom options like the rest of the fully-supported powertrains. Also, like has been mentioned elsewhere, it'd be nice if we could just check a page on the website or something to see what the update includes before we connect the Evo to the PC and get too excited...

 

Cheers!

Anyone else notice a significant performance increase with the latest update? I have no idea if it was the update or the conditions (high 40's temp) but I just updated my Evo today and went and did a few 0-60 runs cuz it seemed a bit peppier. Previously, my best 0-60 time was 7.17 secs. I just recorded the following times: 6.66, 6.49, 6.69 and 7.12. The 7.12 was with powerbraking, the others were from a normal launch. Maybe the key is NOT to powerbrake to minimize "Abuse Mode"??? But previously, I tried both methods and still could only get a best of 7.17. I about $hit when I saw the 6.66, then the 6.49...I was like "Wow!!!" That would give the Blundra a run for it's money. :cheers:

 

PS This was running the Extreme tune on 92 Octane.

Hey Jeff,

What kind of 1/4 mile times are you running? Does it feel like there has been any improvements on the TM? Chad

Haven't done any 1/4 mile runs yet. I need to get out into the country to do that. Don't feel like going 95 MPH in town here, I like my driving priviledges...LOL But I will one of these days.

 

TM, Abuse mode, and PE Delay (launch lag) are still there, but much better and once out of the hole, she screams like a mofo. I can break my tires (w/ 20" wheels) loose from a stop now without powerbraking. Not huge burnouts, but they chirp pretty good, and that's with the G80 locker. Definitely better than stock, no question about it. What's really improved is the lag when accelerating while at speed, that sucked and really pissed me off. That is MUCH improved now. Like I said before though, you don't "punch it" with these drive-by-wire systems, it is better to only push it as much as you need to maximize acceleration. It takes a bit of experimenting to learn the optimum rate.

I had just reloaded the Extreme mode today. I had tried out the Economy mode for about 3 weeks. It helped some on the MPG, but, I just like the poer too much to keep it that way for long! LOL! I did not know about this new update until tonight, so I jsut updated the programmer and will load it tommorrow. You're right about getting into the throttle, it takes some practice to get the throttle to react properly without kicking the TM into effect. Just have to keep working at it to get it perfected.

i purchased the edge from Trumotorsports prior to the rebate cut off - tried to load the evolution but was missing 1 of the 8 ECM codes - e-mailed them the missing code

and thankfully i got the truck tuned to the tranny mode - lets see how that works out

YES, after loading the the update the truck seemed much more aggressive so I tryed a 0-60 run this morning coming home from work. HOLY SH!T was I surprised, my previous best was a 6.49 with intake and extreme tune (90 degrees out). I now have added a Magnaflow cat back single exit to the mix. With 3/4 tank of gas 3400 miles on the odometer and traction control on my first run was a 5.69 in disbelief I ran again and the truck pulled a 5.67 out of it's a$$. I had not run the truck with the new exhaust before the update so I am not sure what the greatest gain came from but I did notice an increase in seat of the pants after I installed the Magnaflow. I am headed to the track this friday evening to see what she can do! The more this truck breaks in the funner it gets :bs:

I already had my truck custom tuned, but after reading through the edge products website and instruction manual i think i'm going to try it. The custom tune is nice, but i want the ability to change my octane ratings, and transmission shift points myself, also the ability to change my speed limiter without having to mail my pcm in.

 

I talked to the guys at edge support and they said it would be fine to use the evo with my custom tune. They said it would store my custom tune and upload one of theirs, and i could change things to my likings with the evo.

Wow!!! a 5.67!?!?!? That's Vette territory, or beating almost anything on the road territory. I can't believe it's not breaking the tires completely loose.

I wouldn't say it's vette territory (owned an 03) but it does run good. Figure a new Tundra runs 0-60 in 6.0 14.9 in the 1/4, so I would expect a modded VMAX to be in the mid to upper 5's !? That equates to approx 14.7 give or take in the quarter mile? As for traction the truck will spin the wheels with the Traction control off but with it on it just chirps a little and is gone! :banghead:

A Tundra will only do 0-60 in 6.0 in Reg cab form....maybe!!!! A Crewmax (Crewcab) 0-60 time is about 6.5 secs.

 

I am guessing you are in the upper 5's and I am in the mid 6's due to your 4.10's and 17" wheels. I have 20's and 3.73's.

      5.3 / 6.2 valve covers / oil burning

      By FiLo · Posted

      Any update if the new valve cover help with the oil consumption?  I have a 2014 GMC sierra and my truck is consuming a lot of oil so I’m wondering if replacing the driver side valve cover will stop some of the oil consumption. Thanks

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
