I'm not sure you can find a non full synthetic 0w20 oil. At least in my experience. I work at a repair facility and we always use full synthetic for the 0w20 oil changes. I'm guessing it's becuase most of the cars that take 0w20 require a full synthetic oil. Our trucks require dexos approved oil which as far as I know is full synthetic. I'm no lubrication expert this is just my experience. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Wheels appear to be oem maybe dealer swapped, as in didn't come on the truck, but upgraded from the dealer. The dots look like some sort of aftermarket running lights. The truck is definitely leveled, maybe too much. Main issues with the drive train are slight vibrations and potential lifter failure. I had one go out on my 15 at 67k, thankfully under warranty.

I used Napa fleet pads and their reactive one slotted rotors. They work great, obviously more dust with a metalic pad. The reactive one rotors have slots in them. Used them on my 04 and they made a world of difference. Not as much of an improvement on my 15, because the brakes are better from the factory. The best part is they're locally available and easy to warranty. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

I love the power e85 provides, but it definitely hurts the mpgs. Usually run e85 most of the time then run a tank or 2 of premium every once in a while. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Recently replaced diff fluids, Trans fluid and pan, tcase fluid all with amsoil. New headlights and taillights. Just ordered my Kooks long tubes w/ off-road y-pipe, afe CAI and 6.2l intake manifold and throttle body. Talking to lew about an updated tune. Also replaced my leaking Trans cooler lines. A while back I replaced pads and rotors front and rear along with rear calipers and I needed a rf lower ball joint. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

5.3 to 6.2 intake swap
durandetto replied to JoeTrahnier's topic in 2014-2019 Engine, Driveline, & Exhaust
So I'm getting ready to order kooks long tubes, off road y-pipe, potentially a cai and the 6.2 intake and t/b. I work at a repair facility and get a deal on dealer parts. Is it worth the extra $200 for the ported t/b? Also 1 7/8 or 3/4 long tubes on a n/a engine. Cost isn't much different, but I don't want to have any adverse effects going too big.

First Aftermarket Exhaust..

I have a carven cat back and it sounds amazing. Minimal drone and I get compliments on it all the time. It's also in your price range. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk -
2014 Brake Creaking
durandetto replied to NorCalTungsten14's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I cleaned the slides twice and the problem went away. Then I finally just replaced everything because the problem kept coming back. I was upgrading the brakes too. Fleet pads, slotted rotors and new calipers front and rear. It was definitely a sticking slide pin causing my noise though. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk -
2014 Brake Creaking

I had the same issue but it was always a sticking caliper pin. Replaced my calipers pads and rotors. All is good now. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk -
Where do these bulbs go on our trucks?
durandetto replied to truckguy82's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
They almost look like back up light bulbs. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk -
K2XX comparison to Gmt800?
durandetto replied to Giants2610's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I think the biggest issue with the newer ones is the afm and direct injection. My 04 has almost 180k on it with no major engine or trans issues and my 15 with 70k already had a lifter collapse and 2 injector failures. I prefer the suspension and brakes of the newer trucks, but I'm still leary of all the new technology they put in them. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk -
Carven makes a great product that sounds amazing, however I don't know that there's anything out there that can sound good in 4cyl mode. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Also look into BG 44k for the in tank cleaner it's a little more expensive, but does a great job. Probably less expensive than 2 cans of seafoam though. A Lew tune would do wonders as well if you're gonna be towing a lot. It's a night and day difference. You'll think you're driving a different truck. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk
