Recently installed a Corsa 24873 kit, sounds great, looks great. Noticed once I received it that the kit doesn’t include a flex pipe, which now has me a bit concerned. For any of you guys/gals running kits without a flex pipe, are you having any issues?? Would it be worth it having a flex pipe added back into the system??

285-60/r20 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs on 20x9 0 offset XD 820 wheels. Just a slight rub at full turn when hitting a bump.

Here’s mine!

Truck has been starting fine for the past 3 days, I guess it was just the cold. Still not sure what the reduced engine power message was about and also got a service 4x4 message but that went away once the truck had ran and warmed up a bit. Guess I'll mention it next time I'm at the dealer.

Yeah I'm in north ouestern Quebec, this weekend was the coldest weather we've had all winter so far, was -40C this morning -51C with the wind.

I'll have to look into that once the weather warms up a bit, it's even colder today, was -40 when I got up this morning and I don't have a heated garage.

That's how I usually start the truck, just bump the key and let it turn on its own but it was cranking for a what seemed to be a pretty long time to me and not starting so I would shut it off. This is my first truck with this feature and my first gm so I'm not familiar with this bump the key feature. Will it crank until the starter fails or does it know when to stop?

Wow so according to the chart it could've taken about 7 seconds of crank time for it to start this morning I wouldn't even think of letting it crank that long. So I might not had let it crank long enough, then again the truck had been running for 15 minutes so I'm not sure what the coolant temperature would have been when I went out to start it. Might start plugging it in more often, cranking for long periods of time sounds like it could be hard on the starter. Still not sure what the reduced engine power message was for though, maybe due to the low temperature of the fluids?

Alright well thanks again

Ohh alright thanks for the info, did your check engine light come on after doing this?

Yeah that makes sense, odd that it would let it crank though. I've used remote start all winter so far and started it with the key just fine after it shut off many times, you could be right though, I'll have to try and duplicate the problem.

Haha well thanks for your input but hoping that my problem was caused by the extreme cold which probably ain't too common in Texas lol.

So it was pretty cold this morning, about -35 degrees Celcius. Truck wasn't plugged in last night, remote started it to let it warm up before getting in. I know that it started and was running for about 15 minutes. It had stopped on its own before I got outside and might had been stopped for 5 minutes. Got in and tried to start it with the key, message popped up saying "reduced engine power" turned the key to start it, it cranked fine but did not start, tried two more times no success. Battery voltage was normal around 14-15V but tried boosting anyways, cranks but still won't start. Decided to try plugging in block heater for 15-20 minutes, tried starting it again (no booster pack) started up just fine but engine light stayed on. Went for a short ride and drove just fine (wouldn't go into V4 because of CEL right). Went back home and cleared the CEL by disconnecting the battery. Drove around for a couple hours with multiple stops and starts, starts fine now. I find it odd that plugging in the block heater for a short while got the truck to start and was wondering if anyone has had a problem like mine or might know what could cause the no start and reduced engine power message. Thanks in advance.

What's the largest tire I can run on stock 17'' rims at stock height? Saw that Spurshot ran 305/60r18 at stock height, could I run 305/65r17?

I don't know if this has been covered yet, so sorry if it has. I'm looking at getting a 4.5'' lift from zone, is it possible to run my stock 17'' wheels with it, or do i need aftermarket wheels with less back spacing? Asking because I'd like to keep my stock wheels as winter wheels and get a new set next spring. Also I'm looking at a 34X10.5R17 size tire, I've seen guys running 35s on 4'' lifts so I'm assuming those will fit, but will they look to narrow and look sucked into the fenders? Thanks in advance
