  1. Quick back story, trying to get my in laws truck running after sitting for awhile and after the normal stuff, cranked it over fine except for fuel running down the tank. We're gonna pop the bed off this weekend and I just to be prepared when I get there, does anyone know the size of the fuel hard line so I can bring a chunk of hose with me to verify the fix before replacing with factory hose? I can field diagnose just like to go prepared whenever possible, TIA for any help.
  2. The TBV replacement listed on gm TSB 5898242 shows that the model years in the TSB are from 2016 to 2018, but I see you did it on your 2014, so is this just a misprint on the tsb, or does it also apply to my 2015 with the 6speed also? Would definitely like to either swap the valve or do the superior solutions kit. Thanks!
  3. Thanks for all the great links, I'll definitely check them out.
  4. Found these https://www.texas-speed.com/p-5227-msd-super-conductor-spark-plug-wires-for-2014-gen-5-lt-based-engines-black.aspx Doesn't say anything about adjustable but it's the only result that came up when I searched. I appreciate all your responses!
  5. Thanks! In the above picture it shows 6 bolts on the manifold and the correct bolt kits for my truck have 10 versus 12 for the one in the picture. Did they just use that manifold for illustration? I also noticed what looks like aftermarket/upgraded spark plug wires. I've heard that people have had to swap stock plug wires for MSD's to take care of fitment issues with headers. Wondering if I'll have any issues with just my set of shorties or if I should just go ahead and order a set. Don't have any problem putting them on if need be, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings to run the stock wires for a little longer than the current 28k miles lol
  6. Thanks for the input. I see on the gmpartsdirect site that the exhaust maniflold's are the same for the 5.3 & 6.2, so am I correct assuming that the hardware would be the same for the install on both? I'm finding all the ARP harware that comes up for my truck says, "SBC 6.2 LT1" on the packaging, but should be same/work fine for my l83? Also, have you (or anyone reading for that matter) replaced the collector bolts when installing your headers? I see 3 different ARP part's depending on thickness of flange. The JBA website lists "3/8" machined flanges", so would that refer to the collector flange too?
  7. For now, going to just leave it alone. Going to be relocating where there's no emissions in the near future. When that happens I've already got a buyer for the shorties when they come off, and I'll be going with a set of LT's and a cat-less Y.
  8. Got a set of JBA cat4ward shorties coming for my 2015 5.3 and am trying to get some better hardware to put them on with. My mechanic says ideally it would be 2 studs and the rest bolts for each side, but I don't see any kits like that and while cost isn't a concern, I'd rather not buy 2 kits/piece meal it, but certainly will if that's the best way forward. So it looks like Stage 8 and ARP are kinda the 2 choices, with Stage 8 looking better initially, but concerned if the locking tab will always have something to rest against? I'll post links to the 2 kits I'm eyeing, and any input or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! https://www.stage8.com/product/8917-gm-lt-series-header-bolt-kit/ https://arp-bolts.com/kits/ARPkit-detail.php?RecordID=4908 Also, if someone would please confirm that these are the correct kits for my truck (2015 Silverado 5.3)? ARP site says "6.2 LT1 small block", and the Stage 8, "All LT series (LT1 thru LT4) 2014-on" but both come up as the listed kits for my make/model/year (10 x 8mm-1.25x25mm) Thanks in advance!
