hi im new here and have some questions about the vortech 5.3 and a tune for it.

 

i have a 2001 Silverado 1500 LS Z71 its got 146,803 miles on her. got the Auto-Trac Transfercase

 

 

anyway i do alot of intown driving and some highway driving it does get decent gas milage could be worse.

 

im wondering what are my options in pcm tunes an mods that could incrase my performance.

 

or is the engine too old whould it be too hard on it beeing it has this many miles on it

 

now i like to romp on it some and it gets up an goes ok it will bark the bf goodrich all terrian tires

 

but i whould like to have some more power an incrase my gas mileage some

 

so what are my options

 

and plus this mustang gt likes to stomp me at takeoff from redlights sometimes. on the way to work in the mournings so maybe i could make him eat it ? i dont know i guess he gets a kick out of out running a pick up

All you need to know... www.diablosport.com and email Mike he will get you set up.

 

Fixed. :lol:

 

(I'm really only saying this because of a severe case of buyer's remorse).

If you have any desire to be able to alter the tune in any way, or to make changes for things like tire size/gear swap or shift point adjustment, then a Predator is the way to go.

 

All trucks will act differently, especially in different climates and with different fuel quality, so having the ability to make changes to the tune is a wonderful thing.

 

The handheld also gives you the option of running a tune optimized for 87 or Premium fuel, and you can switch whenever you want. Cant say that for a Mail order tune.

 

Thanks

Mike

I hate when vendors try to push their shit on everyone....bah **** handhelds

 

Who the fuk is pushing anything? Mike just stated his case for the Predator since everyone is bashing handhelds. Calm down chief, nobody will take your God forsaken custom tune from ya :)

Relax "chief" I should have put a :lol::lol: in there for ya! I was joking. No need to run to Mikes rescue

 

Like the ongoing forum war between handhelds and custom tunes matters. Its preference.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

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

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      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.
