Hello,

 

I know this is going to come out as a noob question but here goes. By the way, I have made an attempt at searching this but only came up with 88'-98' or GMT 900 answers.

 

Where is the computer located in this 2005 Silverado? In my 1995 sierra it was behind the glovebox. The tuned computer that Jesse at wait4me sent to me is a big funny lookin animal and I don't recall anything jumping out at me under the hood that resembles it. Thanks for your help.

 

One other part. I need to have a crank re-learn done right? It's scheduled to go in for an appointment at the local dealership and I was thinking of asking the tech there to do the re-learn but only if its necessary.

Under the hood. Left front just behind the radiator. There should be a big black cover over it. And yes you need the crank learned.

 

thanks a lot sparkstech! I think i know the spot. Can I install it at home and drive the few miles to the dealership without wrecking something if the crank relearn isn't done right away?

well 2000, as I understand it (from the instructions given to me by wait4me) the computer uses the crank sensor to detect a misfire or something to that effect. Without the relearn, the truck won't know that it misfired until the relearn is done.

 

As of right now, I finished installing the new computer. Started the truck in the garage and it idled away nicely. Now I'm gonna go for a spin to see how it handles. Tomorrow morning its off for the crank relearn.

 

As for the install, the part I liked least was those orange gaskets that surround the two harnesses. At first I tried installing the gaskets from the old computer straight onto the metal rims of the new computer. That didn't work so well. It then came to me to place the gaskets onto the harnesses first and then connect the harnesses to the computer. I hope they sealed.

Ok cool, thanks. What all is involved with the crank relearn (what does the dealer do, plug it into a computer and reflash something etc...?)

Yea the gaskets go on the harnesses first. As for the crank relearn almost every vehicle has some slight variation in the distances between sensor and reluctor ring and every reluctor ring is bound to be a little different. So you need to program the computer to the specific variation for that vehicle. Not a big deal to do. We just plug in the Tech-2 bring it to operating temp go to the crank relearn procedure and snap the throttle the pcm does the rest. Without it all hell will not break loose but I have chased false missfires because someone before me didn't relearn the crank. You can get a check engine light with a false miss without it but not usually. Hope that answered the question.

That made good sense. Thanks sparkstech for the info. I had the relearn done this morning and after 30 miles so far so good.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
