Working on my trucks and making power used to be an intrest. After some late issues it's became less of an intrest. Atvs guns I can have fun doing about anything.

6.0 LQ4 Rattles like Marbles at low RPM
Dixon700 replied to Dylan Begin's topic in 2000-2014 Silverado & Sierra HD
There's a such thing as a quiet 6.0? All the ones I've heard including my own make a plethora of noises. ?? -
All of the 6.0's I've seen sounds like they have a little lifter tick, but mine has 219k miles and it sounds the same as the 6.0 I've seen with 40k miles making the same noise. ??
-
Also with the mileage, if the injectors have never been replaced you might want to have about $4k set aside(less if you're doing the labor yourself). Check for cross members and bed being rotted out also.

Suggested mods for improved 6.0 towing
Dixon700 replied to ttotto00's topic in 2000-2014 Silverado & Sierra HD
Interested in this also, I'm fixing up my '02 crew cab long bed and it's definitely lacking in power, although with 214k miles I may be concerned throwing more at the 4l80e. -
My new-to-me 2014 Silverado 2500HD questions
Dixon700 replied to Dcel's topic in 2000-2014 Silverado & Sierra HD
Idk about Chevy's block heater as I haven't had one with a block heater, but my current and last ram with Cummins both have and I love plugging them in. Instant heat, easier on engine, starter, and batteries. The block heater in both my trucks and backhoe all work when you plug them in no matter the temp. ? -
I wouldn't worry about them and just let it be. It's just heat shields.

You made a broad statement and I made a broad rebuttal. Smaller cube forced induction engines are coming a long way and run quite well. The 1.4l in my '17 Trax makes about as much power as 70-80's 350ci (5.7l). It has 140hp 140tq and it's a bit of a dinosaur as far as technology. Early 90's is about the last of n/a diesels also. Diesels run very poorly without forced induction. Look at the 350ci diesel Chevy had in the 70's.

2011 5.3 and the infamous P0521 code
Dixon700 replied to gealzonwheelz's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500
I have auto enginutity, but I don't have the enhanced gm package, I have the enhanced package for my dodge. I never wasted the extra money on having the gm enhanced also because I only had my 02 before and it runs ok with 220k mi. Heck a subscription to all data would probably cost more than $85 I paid to Johnson motors to diagnose my p0521. -
2011 5.3 and the infamous P0521 code

I had the dealer diagnose it. I paid them $85 for that so they better of properly diagnosed it. I don't have access to gm manuals or all data program, or anything like that to get diagrams and pinout to test the harness or sensor. I could of ohmed the sensor out, but i don't know which pins or the range it should fall in and what resistance should be at the different pressures. -
2011 5.3 and the infamous P0521 code
Dixon700 replied to gealzonwheelz's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500
Replaced the sender and both filters after. Losing it all out and so far so good. The dealer wanted $370 to replace the sender and filter... All of it was like 40min... ???. -

Good video, I'm just not sure how much junk mine will have in there since it only has 49k mi. I'm ordering new sender and oil filters, so I'll change filter and blow it out when I'm replacing the sender. -

Warranty ran out this month... This month was 5 years, so I guess start with a new sender? -

Dixon700 replied to gealzonwheelz's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500
As of yesterday my '13 with 49k miles has this issue, it's also started using a lot of oil. It used to use about a qt in 5k miles. Now it's used almost a gallon in 3,200 miles. I'm original owner. So should my power train warranty cover any issue my engine is having right now? My oil psi has never dropped below 25psi.
