  1. Magnaflow part number for a 5.3 is actually 12589 which is a 3 inch inlet/outlet. 12586 is a 2.5 inch muffler.
  2. A louder Magnaflow muffler would be the 14151 which is a 3.5" in/out with a 14 inch body. It is a "race" muffler so it would be loud. The shop could have used a 3" muffler with a 14 or 18 inch body which would be louder than a 12909. The 12909 has a 22 inch body with a 3.5" inlet/outlet, is offset/center and fully reversible. Fits great provided the shop takes their time measuring and cutting off original muffler and flapper valve. My guess is your truck does not have the 12909 because at cruising speed it is very quiet.
  3. Have Magnaflow 12909 as well on my 6.2 and it sounds good to me. Flapper is deleted but kept the stock resonator and does not sound loud at all.
  4. Believe that installing Long Tubes will indeed cause a check engine code regardless of the brand used. Most folks have a tune done as well.
  5. License plate LED lights were not as bright anymore. Replaced with Philips LEDs. Here are some pictures.
  6. Burgundy was my 1st choice back in 2014 but no 6.2s so went with black. Never again traded for current WDT. Black wears you out trying to keep it clean.
  7. Gave the truck a much needed hand wash. Weather had not cooperated lately with spotty rain falling sporadically.
  8. 33x12.5 Toyo RTs on stock All Terrain wheels with 2.5 inch level kit and Bilstein 5100's set at 0 lift.
  9. 60,000 miles relatively quiet miles is not bad for those tires. Yes sir 5100's at lowest setting with level. Rides fine IMO.
  10. Good looking All Terrain sir. Color was my first choice back in 2014. I bought black instead because there were no Garnet Red 6.2's in Texas at the time and wasn't into Summit White or Silver. BTW did you get 70,000 miles out of the Toyos?
  11. Finally picked up my truck earlier this afternoon from dealership. Headlight housing was replaced and driver seat cover is on order. They will be calling once it arrives.
  12. Pic of my headlight. Housing got clouded and with lots of condensation pretty quick.
  13. What a effing moron! Some people have no business getting behind the wheel. Too this wasn't at a my GF's apartment complex. They towed her friend's car for parking on the yellow line. Anyhow I took my All Terrain into the dealership this AM. Passenger side headlight got major condensation after a big downpour and it took out a portion of the DRL. Also driver's seat developed a small tear. According to service guy parts have been ordered.
  14. After about 2+ months of putting it off helped a friend install TRS Morimoto GMC Spec 35W, 5500K HID kit on his 15 2500HD Denali Duramax. Took a little more effort than my gasser but nothing too bad. Due to rainy weather only got a thanks. Now sun is out so a BBQ and some ? may be on order.
  15. Nice install Viktor??
  16. Finally got a pic after the clay and wax job.
  17. Normally I would wholeheartedly agree with you LA. However the body shop owner brought steak, chicken, sausage, beer and a bottle of Black Label for the cook(me) so we could cookout at my buddy's shop for Christmas. Usual parking space by a liquor store was full and since it is a dubious part of town I stupidly parked by the body shop. Anyhow I took care of the problem and will chalk it up to learning a lesson.
  18. Went to a gathering yesterday and parked by an adjacent body shop. Truck had overspray all over.? Washed and clayed it than applied wax. Super tired and need a cold one so will post a pic tomorrow.
  19. Good idea TruckGuy! Seems this should help folks be able to decide on what lighting upgrades will suit their budget and ability to perform an installation or outsource the project.
  20. Got rid of some random deep scratches on hood probably inflicted by my neighbors kitty. Used a new GG Orbital Polisher I bought with Meguiars 105. Once scratches were removed topped area with a coat of Pinnacle Souveran Wax.
  21. Great looking truck Bwright?? Spurshot thanks for the honest review of the LED headlights on your Sierra. Have TRS HID kit on my 15 Sierra but have considered swapping them for the 16+ LEDs. Agree that the forward lighting is great but side lighting is lacking without the XB foglights on.
  22. Replaced old Michelin Stealth wipers with new ones. Wipers lasted just short of 1 year so figured I would stick with the same.
  23. Again folks contact The Retrofit Source and they will make things right. My light output dropped considerably a few months ago and after sending pics of the bulbs they sent out new ones. Great customer service for sure.
  24. TRS will take care of you as long as it's within 5 year warranty period. Great customer service without a doubt.
  25. Wow FastWS6 your truck and wheels look super shiny and bright. So bright gotta wear shades! LOL
