Why should I run E85 in my Vehicle?

 

Fuel Economy: In comparison of E85 to running regular gasoline, our test results have shown a 10%-15% loss in fuel economy which STILL makes this a cost effective solution for daily driving. Customers can look at this as they need to fill up more often, although the cost per mile will decrease as the gasoline price is generally 20%-25% higher per gallon. OEM vehicles see about a 20%-28% loss in economy when running E85, this is where our programming and experience comes in.

 

Our tuning is superior to the OEM programming in reguards to Flex Fuel economy.

 

Power Gains: With our Flex Fuel programming, customers will notice and INCREASE in horsepower and torque. Our programming is designed to give max performance with no drivability issues or worries about running the "ragged edge." Customers can simply pull up to the pump and fill with either fuel blend.

 

Piece of mind: When a customer can go to the local gas station, fill with fuel, and drive away knowing they are supporting his neighbor and local farmer, they know the money spent is being invested back in the home community. E85 is a cleaner burning fuel and emits significantly less harmful emissions compared to gasoline.

 

What is a person to believe? I see the re-programmer is around $500. What's better for my 4.8L 2003 Silverado? The Change2E85.com kit for around $600 or the tuner from Diablosport? Leave it alone?

i thought regular vehicles coudlnt run e85 because of #1. the corrosive nature, and #2. the computer required updating to run on it.

 

not sure how diablo can program for #1..

more and more information is coming out showing that ethanol isnt as corrosive as originially thought. secondly, new GM vehicles share fuel tanks, lines, injectors, etc with FF and non-FF vehicles. GMT900 trucks also dont run a typical ethanol sensor, the o2 sensor actually senses the change in fuel composition. the flash updates the computer to run 20% richer (if you dont have a GMT900 truck) or just turns on the flexfuel switch in the computer on the new computers

The superior tuning part refers to the fact that our flex fuel tunes are 'performance' flex tunes, not OEM.

Just like our tunes for gas vehicles are better than OEM, same goes for our flx7193 tunes.

 

Using the FLX7193, you will see less of a mileage drop when running E85 as compared to a factory FFV, plus a solid gain in performance with either gas or E85.

 

Fuel system is not an issue at all, as most all late model vehicles are designed to run on some % of Methanol, in fact most of the country is running E10 right now.

 

Let me know if you guys have any more specific questions about the FLX tool.

 

Thanks

Mike

I wrote on your forum, let me know when your new product is ok for my silverado 2007 new style with vortex-max 6,0L engine , I want to use E85, in Europe is very less expensive that 95 octane

While we do not offer a specific flx tool for the NBS trucks, you can still take advantage of the same tuning through a custom tune.

The tuner who created the FLX tunes does do custom tuning, and can create you a E85 specific or flex tune for your truck via email.

Give him a shout at [email protected]

 

Thanks

What year is your truck?

 

I have a 2003 Silverado Z71 Extend Cab with the 4.8L V8 engine.

 

What E85 options do I have? Do I have to replace my fuel injectors also?

    • Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.    
    • I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. 
    • No one will care for you like you care for you. Do what you can for as long as you can. IMHO of course. 
    • How about them NICKS!!! 
    • Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
