  1. Question...I want the performance advantage headers can provide but want the quietest setup for daily driving and towing on the weekends. Do you have the Corsa Touring? Any chance you have some sound clips? Thinking outloud here since I really don't have any first hand experience with this...Could a guy just run Long tubes and catted Y pipe with the remaining exhaust stock? Am I killing any performance gain? Like I said I want it pretty mellow until about 2500 RPMs since that is where it sits when I tow my trailer but after that loud is good.
  2. Post some pics once you get them on.....really like the looks of those.
  3. Agree with that. I am just about ready to pull the trigger on these after seeing that pic. Anthracite with a milled edge.
  4. Good find. I like them on that color better than black wheels...I think. The pics are sub par at best but it seems to be a pretty good match.
  5. Where at and at what price if you don't mind me asking? I really like the look of those steps...post up some pics when you get them.
  6. Seems like it has bounced between $2.50 and $2.70 a gallon lately.
  7. 91 ethanol free for my 6.2 Lucky for me I have two choices close to home for ethanol free premium.
  8. Good lookin truck....what size BF's do you have on there?
  9. Windsor. My dad bought it 24 years ago and did a full restoration at that time..... hope to keep that one forever.
  10. Man...I live in the wrong part of the country.
  11. Nothing like the smell of premix in the a.m..
  12. Here are my other toys... 69' Mach 1 And something for the dirt...
  13. Update one my truck... Dealer did the standard rotate and balance of my tires and I have put on 100 miles or so since. Now my steering wheel vibe is about 98% gone and I can easily live with how it feels. Greatly improved! I do still have a vibe through the truck that really only starts over 75 MPH and can really only be felt in the seat of the pants. I can see my passenger seat just vibrating away at 80. What is weird though is on some pavement it vibrates pretty good and other pavement it is smooth enough that I would never have a second thought about something possibly being wrong. Just thinking outloud here....my mind started wandering and wonder if my problem is just a combination of suspect tires and the factory shocks being crap IMO. It almost feels like what some other manufacturers have had problems with, bed bounce. I am just about to ready to throw my Bilstein 5100's on the truck with some tires and roll the dice. I should probably talk to the service manager first about that thought in case they want to try and blame aftermarket parts on my issues.
  14. Sorry to hear that man....that sucks. What is your vibe like? Steering wheel...seat of the pants....speed at which occurs?
  15. Dropped my truck off this a.m. for my vibration which is the second time. Dealer has called and said they checked alignment first and it is off so I told them to go ahead and do that then proceed. I really doubt thats the problem or even contributing to it but I know they are following their protocol. Hoping it's just tires but we will see. Side note...they gave me a 15 GMC CCSB 4X4 as a loaner and this thing drives nice and smooth on the highway with no vibes there. But I did notice taking off from a stop around 25-35 MPH on a upshift that it sometimes shutters a little. Feels like transmission to me but I am no mechanic. I will post back when I hear more.
  16. Wheel and tire size? Looks good.
  17. +1 on that...I really am not happy with my Rancho's. Can't wait to get these on.
  18. Thanks for the post Fodupot! I had looked around the engine bay for a better location to totally eliminate my vibration in the pedals and never even considered that location. Moved mine last night in fact. Drained the can last night with right at 1K miles since the last and got just a tad under 5oz of crap out.
  19. Glad they got it figured out for you. What was your vibration like? Highway speeds only? Seat of the pants, steering wheel, floorboard. etc...?
  20. These showed up yesterday.....
  21. I would be in for a set of the brackets....
  22. First measurable snow around here last night....truck is ready.
  23. One of my favorite trucks on here man...looks great.
