http://www.dynomax.com/application_info.ph...elded%20Muffler

I was planning on a JBA cat-back kit like I had on the last truck, but the Dynomax is about $60 less at Summit Racing, not including the rebate.

http://www.summitracing.com/search/?keyword=39495&dds=1

Has anyone installed one of these yet? I am seriously considering it, but I wonder about the sound and if there are any drone issues. I had Dynomax mufflers on my Chevelle and loved them, but they were loud....not something I would want to hear every day in my rig.

So should I spring for the Dynomax or just go with the JBA? I have not seen any sound clips of this kit posted yet.]]> Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:20:31 -0400 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=116118 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118597 ]]> Sun, 29 Aug 2010 00:15:16 -0400 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118597 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118846
That's got to be one expensive chip to charge that much.]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:30:36 -0400 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118846 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118739 Just wondering if anyone has had the 4 spd. transmission and moved up to the 6 spd. now offered? Is there a big difference? Performance? Mileage? Towing? etc. Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:25:00 -0400 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118739 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118844

I've read countless posts that when you swap a factory style stereo into another vehicle, that the stereo has to be programmed. I even double checked with the service department at my local shop, to verify the time involved, and if they could do so while I waited (understand it to be a 20 minute deal).

So, you can imagine my surprise, after buying a stereo from a member here, putting it in my truck last night, and it working without any further steps.

My two theories:

1 - The vehicle it came from was another Silverado (I believe), and it only checks that portion of the VIN?

2 - My vehicle has 850 miles on it - maybe its still in a 'learning what it has mode'?

Of course, my answer that I believe, is this:

1 - My truck loves to be modified, so it said, "Screw you GM policies, Imma make it work!"]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:29:16 -0400 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118845 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118850
When i get back I am looking at installing a cognito 4" lift with the non torsion bar drop and the tubular upper controll arms and deaver springs in the rear. I think bilstein 5100 on all corners and 18" rims with 33-34ish mild mud tires something like the Cooper ST. I have 3.73's and really don't feel like changing them out so i think that is about the max i can go and still have some sort of get up and go. For performance, American Racing Headers and MRBP 3.5" pipe/muffler for the rest, possibly a aftermarket intake and corvette coils and wires but not sure. I am still undecided on whether or not i will drink the kool-aid on a tuner but if i do it will probably be the black bear from what i have read here.

I want HID for highs, lows, and fogs but i haven't found someone that sells it all, if anyone has the PN that would be great. I have a 12000LB megawinch off my 71 3/4 ton blazer that i will rebuild and throw up front. That said gotta have a second battery so it looks like 2 optimas are in my future as well. Used to be a tool and die maker before raising my right hand and plan on using that experience to fab some DOM tube and diamond plate bumpers and steps to match the bed cover. My goal is to have a truck that will be capable both on and off road and to have everything work together. Since Uncle Sam decides my zipcode my truck will need to be a jack of all terrians, I wanted to get some opinions on whether or not i am barking up the wrong tree. If anyone thinks there is a better combo please let me know, as i am new to the whole shiny truck thing. I am used to building old iron, 71 and 72 chevys.

Thanks in advance for any help.]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:10:34 -0400 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118850
