1SLOW1500's Turbo truck build

Not sure where he got it from, but I know you can get them on eBay, either primed or painted.

I came across those earlier. I just need to find one without sensors.

I could have sworn I saw some on there a couple months ago... Have you looked at Rockwell?

Rock auto. Just looked though and I don't see an option for no sensor holes.

You can just message Mbiauto they have them. Also for the money get the whole package with all the trim and mounts it is like another $60.

Damn that's a hell of a deal, if I weren't building a bumper I'd be all over that. I've always hated those stupid steps. Awesome build btw, I'm sure I'll be back here for notes once I start mine.

Bumper done. Weather is better so more data log tomorrow with boost data. I know the control is all wrong.
Bought a black out 3.5" to 4" tip for my exhaust. Going for a stealth look. If I don't like black I will have it silver ceramic coated.
Side note Trans torque limits will effect stabilitrack. Truck is fine but doesn't understand that is going on in the snow.
Now I can build 3 diffent trans tunes. Overdrive,tow,manual. And was going to set tow for race mode but. Moving my camaro from one of my houses to the other soon. Hate to have issues in tow.

I can't leave good enough alone. We are data logging the boost in and separate software. LogWorks 3. All boost isn't equal. A number like 8lbs isn't the same in every car/truck or setup. also when and in what gear/rpm/ speed matters. I can control this with active spring#,waste gate duty%, boost cut%, boost number by %, and afr. Sounds simple but it is far from it runs in 2% steps.Every setting effects another. and even when I was cutting 100% at 8lb and still had 12.4 psi spikes. Meaning it is bouncing off the controller. Truck surges. but that causes boost spikes and max set boost. But too low does the same. So another learning curve.

I will have the tail lights in above pic and also the 3rd brake light smoked out and clear coated. Was going to do the film but turns out there are major issues with that.

Need to get the the exhaust cut(clean) and the new tip installed.

Still need to get to the deal for my new SES module, program, and driveshaft. Also talk of a new stall converter under GM. Maybe after the holidays.

Cut 8" off the stainless and added tip. Now stainless was nice and my chassis/welder buddy said 304 stainless is nicer. But it gets discolored and had a unfinished look. Sure a 600hp truck but it is a Denali with all the extras and a daily. Working on a O2 down stream issue. Stupid issue but I will add a stainless bung and install it so the ECU can think life is good.
Still need to tint lights and go to dealer for all the recall crap. Bet they like the turbo truck.

I am hit with the curse of the recalls. The stabilitrak light is on. Odd is it just turned on before the truck even moved. There is a recall about battery cables, grounds, and heat shield on starter. It says the BCM doesn't get a good power source. Still the drive shaft replacement and the ses module.

Also truck on 24" and dry season tires in snow it a joke hard to get anywhere. So looks like we will use my old truck I sold to buddy to move my camaro from one house to the other. That truck is on 22" but crew cab lowered and 4 wheel drive.

Oh and -8 out side today! yeah screw that I'm staying inside.

Dope build

So tomorrow truck goes to dealer for recalls. So need to clear the code and then put it in valet mode.
Odd thing is the stability light off last time I drove the truck all day. Parked it and today I start it and it is on. Seams like only when I need it. Oh well.
Windows down noises as the cab blocks most all of it out. It is cold and exhaust is only at 700.
Also just after that quick pull there was a cop at a house on my left. Lady went off roading into a house. And she had a Durango. http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5a54e45a7d28d/20180109_103150.mp4
OH that is a peak of 11.7psi boost. so well over 550hp.

Dropped truck at dealer. It was fun as I drove into the service bay and everyone was looking and asking what exhaust it had that sounds so good. I said 3.5" stainless. Then asking to open hood and see. That caused a few more people to walk to it and look as well as photos. Interesting how little a dealer knows I had to explain the issues and the gm bulletins. I wasn't even a few miles from the dealer when they called saying "the suspension specialist said the suspension and tires aren't stock so there is no warranty". RIGHT, no the law on warranty work is very clear. they mush prove and in writing list way and what part is the issue. As it is the driveshaft and not the suspension. I need a new driveshaft anyways. They also said they need the factory wheels and tires to check it. What BS. I have a call into GM to get it covered.

Also they can't use there reader to read vehicle. Service girl was confused. HAHA

SO the module for air bag is a easy swap out fix and the Stabilitrac and ABS they are confused. The bulletin says how to fix it but we will have to see how long it takes them to square it out.

It is on spring pressure only and controler off so can't make more than 6psi. Hope they don't hot rod it.

I will update when it is back.

Ok the dealer was a joke. Tech said they can't fix it but told me how to fix the vibe issue. He said remount the trans higher but that will cause the trans tunnel issues and possible sensor issues. I told him I would rather ad a wedge in the leaf to correct pinion angle. He was oh yeah that is good. Later I checked the bulletin on this issue and that is exactly what it says, and gives the gm part number for the wedges.

So I will get that.

I need a GM override approval code to continue so I will get that today.

The Stibilitrac light the the said was a melted wire due to the turbo exhaust but he fixed under warranty. However the service lady said it was a rear right abs sensor. Light came back on half way home. But then back off that same night.

So bill says $1690.31 without the other two parts that are $780 and $48.
