Thanks. That truck is long gone. I got a 2020 Trail Boss with the 5.3 back in March.

Yep. Exactly.

Probably right. Just something to consider.

LOL. No kidding. I was just thinking that with the final drive being different that the shift points will be wrong.

What about getting the computer re-programmed?

2020 Trail Boss. 5.3L / 10-speed - Crew Cab - Standard Bed (6' 6") - Towing Mirrors - Hard Rolling Toneau - Wheel well liners - AVS AeroSkin II - Putco strip light under tail gate - clear bra on bumper, grille and front of fenders - GM off road side steps.

I agree. The wife's Camaro SS with a stock exhaust does that. Sounds great!

What he said!

Isn't it a good idea to do the exhaust when adding a supercharger? You are cramming more air into the cylinders and expecting it to flow out the stock exhaust and not take a performance hit?

Great write up. I'd like to ask a few questions. What was the parts cost? How much is a Range device? You said that the DFM make a bit more noise than usual. I have never heard mine. Not once. What does it sound like? I remember hearing AFM but nothing so far with DFM.

None of those will gain you a dime at trad-in time. Keep the $1500 and put it towards the new Tahoe.

I'm just not a fan of the look. The crew cab short bed is not attractive to me and adding the cap made it worse. Just personal preference so please don't hate on me. I would like to see pics of a cap on a standard bed trail boss.

I had a clear bra installed. Covered the bumper, horizontal grill bars and front of the fenders.

Vinyl what?

You could try a road force balance but I'm not sure that will help.

Mine were factory installed. No whistle.

Doesn't work that way. The L84 is NOT E85 compatible. The L84 (5.3L w/ DFM) doesn't have an alcohol sensor. It can't "learn the fuel". I haven't checked yet but I bet the injectors are different as well. E85 requires a higher flow injector. It contains about 30% less energy therefore requires 30% more fuel. Why would you spend $40+ grand on a truck and put fuel in it that it isn't designed to run on. If you have the L83 (5.3L w/ AFM) then it is E85 compatible and should not have caused a CEL. From your signature you have a 2019 LT which should be the L84. The Custom trims still use the L83.

My 2020 Trail Boss has the factory GM hood deflector installed. I'm not really a fan. I don't care for the spring clips that hold it on. I am ordering an AVS Aeroskin II. I have had the original Aeroskin on the three previous trucks and I love them.

Used Opti Lube in my 2016 2500HD. Never had a single issue.

LOL. We have only one station that has straight gasoline and it is 93 octane. Like I said, I'm in corn country.

My '18 did not have an ethanol sensor. I could have added one fairly easily but the tune would have voided the warranty.

It's availability does vary. It is available everywhere here in the mid-west. Corn country!
