There are plenty of people with "do-it-yourself" hydrogen injection systems. You can find info on some of these with youtube. The "trick" is apparently tricking the oxygen sensors, as when hydrogen is injected into the intake and thereby ignited in the cylinder, it burns so fast, hot, and clean that the oxygen sensors think there is something wrong and force the engine into "limp" mode, forcing it to run rich (thereby defeating the purpose of the injection system to begin with). I have some mechanic friends that work at a local farm that are trying to put together a hydrogen injection system for the fleet of vehicles & farm equipment on the farm. Their idea is to install a sort of rheostat on the oxy sensors, as apparently a fault code is generated by sending a certain voltage to the computer. By regulating that voltage, they might be able to trick the oxy sensor into thinking there isn't any problem. There are companies, such as these guys that have been selling injection systems for semi-trucks for years, as a 20% improvement when you're only getting 4 miles to the gallon is a world of saving on fuel costs. They also make one that could be mounted in the bed of a pickup. One of the ONLY advantages to high oil prices is that innovation is less-stifled. Some of these advances in fuel-saving technology are pretty cool.

Wonder if an O2 simulator like what you run when removing the cats would work.

O2 simulator just trick the ECU in throwing a DTC. Your still doing harm to the motor, you just wont know.

Harming it in relation to this...

I usually bridge a paperclip into flux capacitor. Works all the time.

 

 

You do that too :jester:

:D

He's building up the suspense!!!

Oh I use methane, not hydrogen. Its free and I make plenty of it. :jester:

I put an electric fan in the back of my truck that blows onto a wind generator that powers my new electric wheel motors which, while turning, charge the batteries for the fan. It's brilliant, really. :jester:

You guys are too funny.... Daddy, you got the plans for that system? Will it fit in my short/short bed?

 

The idea of Hydrogen injection is interesting. You're right about the O2 sensors wanting to enrichen the mixture... IF these systems can generate enough O2 and H to make any appreciable difference you would need to reprogram the ECM to compensate for the O2 changes at the sensor. I just love all you guys who think you can just run down to Radio Shack and buy a 50 cent resistor and reprogram the system. You try that with your $30K truck. Think I'll try some real testing before I decide to jump headfirst. I've been discussing this with one of our engineers at Painless who designs our harnesses and has done a lot of the development of our ECM programming. The O2 enrichment factor is a big stumbling block to all this. But, it has been the subject of much discussion and debate here. We may yet put together something out of Mason jars and wire (kinda like you've seen in a Frankenstein movie) just to play with it on the dyno. But think about it..... If it really worked don't you think one of the many companies in the aftermarket would have already been building and selling them? The technology will be relatively cheap...

 

EFI IS rocket science.

 

Just an opinion.... and you know what they are like.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
