Not a fan of the white lettering on the nittos but everything else is amazing. Sweet ride my man.

Well, got about a hundred miles on it so far, everything is ready except for the EVAP system...

Sort of running out of time here, not sure if it needs more cycles or if I do have an issue even though there's been no check engine light.

Do they make you have them all in a ready status?
Evap takes an insane amount of time to complete its test cycle, and temps have to fall within a range...

Here it's the one expected to be in a pending.

If I remember correctly, it all need to be in a ready state.
I'll have to double check, I know NY let me get away with one not ready.

Looks like I'm good to go then.

Last night i loaded up the tune with the 6.2 timing and torque management.
I missed the low-end from that tune.

Wideband showed a bit leaner, but the computer quickly adjusted and it's looking much better.

Next: time to start tuning.
I don't trust it for wot yet, but I love being able to idle around everywhere again.

Freeway, it holds 6th gear at 80mph no problem.
So much better.

I would love to see what these settings do for a 5.3.
I think the biggest change will be on the torque management stuff.
I have yet to try just the timing changes.
I went straight for the timing + torque management settings.

My '05 5.3 seems to run well...... I wonder what a 'tune' would do for me?
( I have no idea what the difference would be, and if I really need it?
I don't hot rod it

I was running a 6.0 off of the factory 5.3 tune.

It ran fine like that for the most part.
But it did cut off some low-end power.
It felt like the old 5.3, but with a tiny bit more down low.
but I still needed to down shift a lot.
Good since it's a new transmission, it needs lots of those as things wear in...


Early on I ran with the tune from a Silverado 2500hd with the 6.0, even there I noticed a bit of power increase down low.
That said, I'm also running the camshaft from a 6.2.

I bet just tweaking those torque management calculations would help.
Many here have a bb tune on their 5.3 and noticed a bit of a difference.

I would love to get a look at the bb tune and run a compare against a factory 5.3 tune.

Thanks for the info..... Honestly, I don't see the cost for a little bit better?
If my Yukon would accelerate easier with less peddle, I would ponder the thought.
I was taught to use the peddle correctly.

My bracket idea for moving the tru cool back down to the bottom again, going to drill a couple holes in the flat bar and mount it with the skid plate bolts, kind of subjects it to the elements a little bit but I've had it down there already for months and had no problems

Did you cut out the front of the bumper behind the fake grill? Exactly how Im wanting to mount mine

I did when I mounted my Derale cooler down there. I found it to be necessary despite mine having a fan attached to it.

yes, did that last time I had it down there, I tried to have it up top and to the side a little but that didn't work either, kept getting the engine hot so it's down below again a transmission is cheaper than a engine the chrome piece comes off but you have to be careful the little clips break very easily I broke a few but it still stays on, then I used a fein multimaster tool with just the bracket on it and it cuts thru plastic like butter

Smog done, in line at AAA to get tags.
This weekend I'll fix that fuel line and get back on the corn... hopefully before I need gas again. Haha
Says 80mi to empty, and I hate driving it with the stock tune...0 fun at all.

Got my heated steering on and working. Still have to work with the ground because it quit working but no problem.

used it for a model for thethirdtwin.

I feel like I'm about to get a speeding ticket seeing that photo.......
( But at least I was going real f**king fast

 

[Geotrash]

Cop: You were doing 80 in a 45!
Me: Yeah, and I would've hit 100 if you hadn't stopped me!

 

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Regular 87 & Stock(catback only) is junk! Only pulls .5g acceleration, so slow, and so numb.
This wasn't stalled up or anything, just matt the pedal.

Horsepower to WEIGHT ratio.

I do have a lot of junk in the trunk, been rolling around probably at least 6,000 lb for a long time, but the trans tuning makes a huge difference.
I'll probably put my tune back on after work and do another run.
