    Supercharging

    Yes, my chassis dyno numbers kinda sucked... And my IAT's were stupid high all the time. So I suppose that's why the tuning is so involved. My edelbrock system even has a water to air intercooler. I tried looking for a bigger intercooler but the one provided was such a nice fit... And a big...

    Supercharging

    Had the Edelbrock E-Force Roots/Magnuson style... I liked it but MPG was horrible and my tuner at the time couldn't get MPG acceptable... Long story short I tried a methanol injection kit so we could put some timing back in it... Didn't have the settings right and sucked down way too much...

    Supercharging

    Trans won't hold up at all.. 4L60e with miles on it... stock.. Yikes You'd be better off and cheaper doing the usual hot rod stuff to it Headers, Camshaft (truck stage 1), Cylinder head work while they're off. And of course a tune. Save some money up for that transmission to get it rebuilt...

    Axle ratio to tire size input needed

    Just google 6l80e gear ratios.. 5th and 6th are both OD ratios You'll want at least 3.42 gears.. But with the 5.3 I'd personally go with 3.73 . It's kinda pricey doing front and rear. I have 3.42's with stock height tires.. I'd like a bit deeper like 3.73, but I don't have experience...

    6L80 video for 1000+ hp

    No one really would say it would hold together for my 6.2L with supercharger towing my 9500 lb camper... I'm sure if I wasn't towing they would have said OK. Couple of places just said use a 4l80e... I was NOT going to do that. Circle D had all the good parts in their stage 3 kit. Had to...

    Clock Has No Display

    I just was never able to find an exact match to my system in any of the videos that I found online. So maybe like you said they were all from pickups, not Yukons. The systems were very close, but not the same. Never found a "hidden" menu on mine. But it's working now, so oh well !!!

    6L80 video for 1000+ hp

    Yeah I'm pretty sure CTS were almost all 6l90E's (maybe depending on year mode) and the 3/4 ton trucks got the 6l90e as well... Not a whole lot of difference between the 80 & 90 as far as what I've seen. Just a bit more HD (barely)

    Clock Has No Display

    Thank You !! I googled it but came up with only 2007-2013 stuff.. Apparently my 2014 is a bit different - close, but diff So I took my laptop out to the Yuk to try some of the things suggested... And whatch know, It's all working normally now.... Crazy electronics Still don't know why it...

    6L80 video for 1000+ hp

    Good Video.. When I looked around to find a builder for my 6l80E in 2020 no-one would even say it would hold together with 550HP. (towing heavy, heavy SUV) I went with the Circle D hard parts... But I think they can hold up in cars that are a lot lighter than our stuff and of course not...

    Engine Misfire in V8 mode

    Better get it diagnosed and fixed before driving it.... You'll end up ruining your Catalytic Converters and that's real expensive !

    Clock Has No Display

    So today I'm driving and I notice NO CLOCK display on my screen.. It's a denali with the XM radio and (outdated) navigation. I went to settings and I can "beep" it up and down to set time, but nothing there changes or displays a number. When I turn everything to OFF.. Then there is a clock...

    TCC line pressure (vs load) causes TCC slip

    I did the basic changes with slip. And NO tcc in 1-3 gears.. only 4th over 44 mph. 5 & 6 gears... My shift tables are way UP in mph.. stock sucks.. I don't even command 6th until 64 mph... I also have the circle D highest stage parts in mine and they recommend NOT changing pressures, etc...

    Bad alternator?

    Could also just be a poor replacement part that doesn't play well with the OE programming... I went with an original GM part when I did mine a couple years ago due to the bad comments on the aftermarket parts store's replacements

    TCC line pressure (vs load) causes TCC slip

    I saw an article related to this topic It stated that the actual OE clutch material "require" some slip to lubricate it.. It's a wet style material.. I have set mine to Zero slip most of the time, but I have a stock core TQ built with a larger aftermarket clutch... I don't really know for sure...

    2012 Tahoe front wheel bearing brand

    Not at all. Was actually curious of how you would lubricate a sealed bearing,.... that's all... didn't know it was possible. I work on cars for a living and i've never heard of this procedure.. Didn't know it was sarcasm to begin with... A keyboard doesn't always convey the actual tone of a...
