Does it not have the e85 content gauge anymore? Didn't see it listed. Always thought that was a pretty cool feature.
No not anymore, the cluster acted up where I clearanced the board for the gauge, so I bought a 2500HD cluster with a trans temp gauge. However, ethanol content can be read through HP Tuners since the sensor is wired into the PCM. In the 2 or so years I had the ethanol content sensor staring me in the face wherever I drove, I never saw it vary by more than 5%. It was always 80-85% so I gladly got rid of an extra gauge to get my cluster fully functional. Since I have 2 Aeroforces installed, Aeroforce can reflash the gauge for the ethanol content PID so you don't need to add any wires or anything, you just scroll through the gauge and boom. But like I said I never cared since ethanol content has never varied by more than 5% and I've driven up an down the state from San Francisco to San Diego. Furthermore, even if ethanol content did drop waaaaaaay down to let's say E50, it's been proven that the anti-knock properties of E50 are the same as E85. So the truck would just run richer in the extremely unlikely event that a random tank of E50 found itself into the truck. And anyone with a turbo setup is monitoring their AFR gauge and would see it instantly.
I have purchased 2 different RCSB trucks to do a build like this. I always back out before I get started. In fears of knowing what it will cost!
I think that in almost all cases in order to do it right, will cost far more than the truck itself.
