Well sorry pics don't have enough detail truck has been lowered hard to get pics*

Added all the hardware along with sensor 13577429, disconnected the fuel line(at factory clip) right over the reserve tank Which can be removed easily
then routed two half ft of 3/8 hose to sensor near plug and three ft hose to return fuel back to factory line*

All wiring is there and working just enable e85 in the tune*

I added a alcohol % pid so with 93 octane gas It reads 10% alcohol
Next I'm only adding 5 gallons of e85 to see if the alcohol percentage goes up and then I will be running it till empty and just running e85 to see what the reading Gives there

Thanks to dave steck at dsxtuning
for a quick reply and help with tune*
I seen his work all over forums every where he really knows his stuff

Pretty cool! I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on its performance gains.

Have you had the truck tuned already? How does it run?? I am amazed when I read that the 15's are actually slower than the 14's with the 6 speed. Everything points to it having much better manners, but still slower.

So far mix 93 and e85 flex fuel alcohol % show what I thought it would be around after I empty out I'll refill just e85 and check it's %
Looks at pics see how the intake temp dropped 40° lower
I can feel power gains really can't wait to see how it is on full e85

You got to hand it to GM lol
They install all the wiring just like the 5.3 but no sensor
And they say the 6.2 is not flex fuel compatible

That's what I love about GM. Just cause your truck didn't come with that option, it doesn't mean you cant have it.

Fog lights, self dimming mirrors with integrated signal lights and steering wheel controls are on my radar for my base GMC RCSB.

Never knew E85 made that much difference...not that it matters here I guess...we don't have any close to where I live and drive. But I will be trying it when I go to Washington next.


That's pretty bad ***, and ballsy to do on a brand new truck. Props
