Filled up with about half tank of E85 for first time. I had something called regular 88?? In VA once. Only 2 stations near me in NJ have E85, 1 is at the airport and they charge basically premium prices. Power Gas in East Orange has it for 3.05 today. I’ll see if she likes it through the week.
I go to Philly sometimes but while technically Pennsylvania it’s a big difference from PA. Any stations close to the casino out there?A bunch of stations in PA carry it, if you're ever out that way. Something about the higher elevation, I think.
It'll like the E85 for sure. Fuel economy dips a bit, but it'll run smoother.Filled up with about half tank of E85 for first time. I had something called regular 88?? In VA once.

Good stuff!Tire rotation, trans drain and refill with new filter, old fluid looked red with light brown tint @20k miles since rebuild and also did the front brakes…. Now I just found out I have a P0711 code and need a new TECHM so that’s the next project in early October. I’ll
Post about that for the 6L80 guys in here.
PS— I didn’t need to remove the exhaust to get the pan off the trans….
I did that on mine a while back. I was actually pulling up to the inspection station and noticed it. Unplugged and went on in since I was there. Passed okay. Which confirmed my guess that unless you’re in one of the few counties here that does an emissions test, they don’t plug in the computer.Went to smog it this morning after unplugging the range AFM disabler last night. Apparently didn’t drive enough miles for it to be “ready” to be smogged. I’ll try again tomorrow after driving 50+ miles today.
All this smog crap is such a joke.
Can’t wait until I mechanically delete the AFM and have it properly tuned.
Yeah here in Scottsdale they plug into the obd. Which is annoying.I did that on mine a while back. I was actually pulling up to the inspection station and noticed it.

what the axle ratio in the duramax? the denali should have 3.42Changed the oil last night and discovered that one of my new sway bar bushings has torn and squeezed itself out. I wouldn't even say the front end was all that floaty before but today I towed the drift car with it like that and MAN it felt like I was towing with a lifted jeep with the sway bar unhooked. I highly recommend skipping this experience if you can.
Black bear's tune really did make the powertrain dramatically better for towing but it's just so damn slow compared to my Duramax that I find it harder to appreciate.
3.73 but I've got 35s on it at stock height and a bigger turbo so the Duramax is at a gearing disadvantage for sure from stock. The Denali feels great around town and is definitely quicker unloaded but it's just not even close on the highway let alone while towing. I have been intending to put 4.10s in the Duramax for years to help overcome the tire upsizing but I've just always found other things to spend that money on.what the axle ratio in the duramax? the denali should have 3.42
