There is a really cheap fix to your E85 problem that I did!!! like 70 bucks cheap to add it to your truck.

For some reason I assumed all the 5.3's had the e85 stuff already.

Yes it is. A sensor install kit and a quick tune adjustment.

No it's just that I was told the fuel system wouldn't handle it because of the blower. I'm told I'd need injectors at least maybe more like I'm reasonably close to the limit?

Going to LT4 injectors and HP pump would be wanted because of the supercharger.

You are probably at the max of the stock injectors just running pump gas with a blower.

So for a comparison point with my 18 6.2 4wd crew cab, I had to drive 800 miles the last 2 days. For one segment, all highway with some hills, unloaded, truck is essentially stock with an oil catch can, doing 80-85mph most of the way I drove 265 miles and it took 12.13 gallons to fill back up, so right at 21.9 MPG. I am really impressed with that.

^^^ yup. I'm waiting to have a few hour road trip to see what it does cruising that long in v4. I still have not taken apart my catch catch to see why its no longer catching any vapor/oil. I need to do that sooner than later.

My first road trip across the state and back w two pit stops along the way. Didn’t even use a full tank. No hurry so I was cruising just above the speed limit. My catch can is still completely empty. I reached out to Tracey Lewis, he sent me new check valves. I double checked my hoses for cracks... can is not clogged. Everything seems to be good but this is about 2k miles w out a drop of oil/water being caught in the can.

About the E85 part.. Only the 2014 5.3's had it from factory as a standard. Anything after that with 5.3's had to be added. I don't think the 6.2's allowed the option. Rumors are because it would (and it is) rival with lt1 numbers

Only reason I know that is because I jumped under my truck to see what I could do for sensor location and it already had it. Lol
