if your tuning it... I would be curious how much power you make with a stock muffler, and the flapper removed, with long tubes installed no cats., that would be my route , emmisions is not important since there is no smog on new vehicles for several years, just keep the stock exhaust in storage til emmissions time ..

would you agree they clog up when power is applyied to them and more fuel added to the motor? they tend to melt internallly from the high heat and glaze over the ceramics inside, cant this can cause restriction?

better off leaving the fluid in the trans and running a spin on filter or bypass unit, this will scrub clean every drop inside your trans without costing you a fortune for 20 quarts of new fluid, just be sure to remove your thermostat first. if you got one inline. I'm currently doing testing on a motorguard trans filter system, but had good success with $3 spin on units too. updates to come.. what i love most besides clean oil, is the filter elements actually absorbe water moisure from the oil. this was a problem GM is having with thier transmissions fluid being hydroscopic on certain models https://www.amazon.com/Motor-Guard-M-45-KIT-Clean-Filter/dp/B000TARQ6C/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=motor+guard+filter&qid=1611718577&sr=8-6

for the cost of a throttle enhancer or a DIablo tuner crap, just buy the mpvi and the credits from summit racing for your truck, there is soo much tweaking of basic stuff that enhances the durability and performance,

your dealer is just gougeing you, call GM's consumer support number and complain, if your under warrantee i bet they'll side with you and credit it back

i will be increasing my setting higher rpm, my gas milage is around 11.5 mpg. mind you the truck feels so amaizing to drive around town. for a 5000lbs truck it feels like a hot rod now, but its eating fuel like a beast i will also try disabling TCC 1-3rd gear instead of 1-4th, i kinda like a more solid connection in 4th after driving around for 2 weeks now

yes it can, i just like it active on the highway, its very simple to tun off with the software, lots of vids on youtube giving a full walk thru if needed

dont waste time buying an exhaust if you dont tune for it, why bother freeing up the flow if your gonna run cats? doug thorly uses thick flanges on his stuff. is made in USA unlike the cheapo headers this kit has the tri y long tubes with connection to muff http://www.dougthorleyheaders.com/thy-352y-l-c--2014-2019-chevy-silverado--gmc-sierra-5.3l-v8-long-tube-tri-y-headers_15752

i'm trying to find a vin number for a max tow truck 2014-19 , wanted to see what type of trans cooling it runs on the GM parts catalog

its all based around satisfying the feds EPA mandates. GM could make good sh*t but big Gov is involved now, they own GM

you cant say SUGAR is the problem, the issue is with "Processed sugars" do not attack organic natrual Sugars.. One can live strictly off oranges or watermellon for a year straight without serious issues. in fact you will experience many health benefits that will blow your mind. TRY IT!!!!! i've done it before if you want to experience the natrual steroids created by your body and become extremly in tune with your enviroment, i suggest you try fasting for 1-4 weeks. theres a point when your internal organs click, are start the natrual process, truely something to experience. i guarantee to will have the hormones drive you had when you where 18 years old! try it!

Sugar is not the problem, manufactuered sugars are the problem , sugar is the basic fuel for humans anatomy. the problem is in the form its fed to the human is whats causing the damage . We really thrive on fruits, berries, and melons. this is ideal diet for us. pizza, and corn based feed is not our diet. we should be living closer to the equator , and running nekid with the apes. but. not everyone can.do this..

we do have a few 100 pumps at my local station, but price is $10/gal. but your gas milage is like 18mpg in the city and 40 mpg highway on that stuff. still not worth it. but dense hydrocarbons sure do put legs on these motors. the 210 thermostat and 87 octane on a 12:1 CR motor = sounds a bit dumb, 91 octane gives you a 2mpg gain over the cheap stuff. do the math you'll see your paying more for 87 fuel /mile

i wonder if there is any connection to the quality and low nutrient density of our modern foods, i swear these farmers have no idea what they're doing, has anyone tasted a fruits or veggie grown by US farmers, the stuff is awful tasting.

yeah the trucks headlamps are aimed too high from the factory and the HIDs are too intense for drivers at night. get them re-aimed by your dealer. it's very annoying for your fellow drivers! the worse offenders are the guys who do level lifts or lift kits

i remmember back in my 90's suburban the manual suggested to reverse the vehicle for 20 feet after disabling the 4x4. iknow its a different system but maybe doing this take the loading off the shifter mechagnism so it can shift to 2wd

MF'n spoiled kids make me sick!!!!!

for some reason the K5 blazer just had a preceived roominess the doors openings are more upright and not slanted back as much from the A pillar as modern trucks. not having an extra cab just bothers me now.

z71 has better gearing than stock silverados, not sure is the z71 came with aux coolers for motor and trans? was the for the MAX tow model? black out edition is probably the ugliest trim they offer

the 8 speeds are designed well. The transmissions software is designed to be flawed because our Gov. and EPA forces GM to meet federal emmisions mandates for higher MPG ratings.... thus why the lock up converters fail. they are over using the TCC to gain MPG by reducing torque converter slippage, the shudder is the TCC lugging the engine to maintain lower rpm's while driving. when i shut off my TCC lock up from 1-4th gear i lost 2-3 MPG city driving. yet the truck runs so much better. it feels like a hot rod now. I did activate the power enrichment tables on the stock software. so i am sucking more fuel because of this

no way, the old standard cab was cramped compared to the K2 with extra cab, but not overly so, both have good headroom. my 2000 silverado's emergency pedal was always hitting my shin when released. dumb design.. but neither is as roomy as my old trusty K5. built like a box inside. good ergonomics, everything was just perfect in the old days. didnt GM run the old square body for like 20 years, my 91 was the last and the best.

usually when the t-sat fails to close the engine never warms up, the fans stay on in failsafe mode, if it stopped doing this then the t-stat might have unstuck itself and is working normally again

cheap set of air shocks give support and 2" lift, the shock will have full travel so no rough rides https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-504-535-Specialty-Shock-Absorber/dp/B0012PUNY0/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=air+shocks&qid=1611326677&s=automotive&sr=1-2 or https://www.amazon.com/TRIL-GEAR-Suspension-Absorber-Avalanche/dp/B07L96CQFF/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=air+shocks&qid=1611326677&s=automotive&sr=1-3 compressor to match https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-949-099-Suspension-Air-Compressor/dp/B07B2FGV69/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/135-3684592-8451056?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07B2FGV69&pd_rd_r=15f77fc5-acb9-40b7-b4d1-4cbc4f057ddb&pd_rd_w=YWbWj&pd_rd_wg=gSjIw&pf_rd_p=f325d01c-4658-4593-be83-3e12ca663f0e&pf_rd_r=XDVG8PDX1F4RRMEX2FQ0&psc=1&refRID=XDVG8PDX1F4RRMEX2FQ0

was there issues with sealing the freon gas on 14-15 models? my 16 is still holding tight

purchase MPVI from HPtuners, buy credits and reprogramm it yourself.
