  1. What tuner? Or tune do you have. Also wonder what you keep the RPM at during the hills. Needs to be 4000rpm + to do anything with that weight. LOL. Wondering how much better the truck is with a tune. I dont see much gain from CAI on these style truck. Thanks.
  2. Nice factory option. But kinda pricey considering you could have gone with a much better aftermarket cooler for less $$. On a side note? How do you find the difference with the Tune?? Any power gains and mileage when not towing? Thanks. Nice work though. Any link to the hose kit you found.
  3. Would it not have fit behind the grill without cutting it out?
  4. Interested. Lets see the mounting pics and finished product. Very top opening or second one? Thanks.
  5. what year and model is your truck? Your description says LTZ z71 6.2. That would be a 1500 truck and could be different than my 16 HD ? I dont remember it being an 8 pin plug. Only 4 or six. A test light will get it figured out in less than 5 mins. Do you not have the correct harness? Or? Sorry its been a while since i looked at it.
  6. if you look up into the junction block while laying on your back under the truck. cant remember if i had to remove the spare tire? dont think so. There is only 3 pins. One is switched power from the cab. one is ground and the other if i remember correctly was linked to the brake lights for some reason. should be easy to figure out as they were opposite corners etc .
  7. If you can fire up your carbed vehicles in the middle of winter or anything under 10deg. and it will idle and drive away cleanly in under a minute. Your idle circuit is way to rich.. And you are using to much fuel under normal operating conditions. To rich at idle. A correctly tuned carb will run perfectly with a good choke setting and correct jetting under all situation. Only reason to not use a choke is not knowing how to set one up. Or a race engine that doesnt require it. Not picking on anyone. But a well tuned carb will run almost as good as Efi. Even in the cold.
  8. Z71/ Offroad package trucks will have it. Non Z / Offroad trucks i believe do not have it.
  9. Honestly. My opinion. would be to not bother with shorty headers. Not enough gain, especially in the lower end torque department. Shorty may gain you a small amount of top end hp. But not really anything down low. Long tubes will give you much larger gains across the rpm range.
  10. Towing with a 6.0l !!! If you want to get up the hills and actually use the engines power range. You should be in the 4500-- to 5000 RPM Range while towing heavy up steep hills. This is where the engine lives and will do its best work. Its a small block Chevy. Let it eat. 3000 to 4000 rpm you are right on the limit of fuel knock if you have bad gas and are unaware of it. Just my 2 cs
  11. Pretty sure if you put 4.30 behind a 6.0l you would have the same grunt as the 6.2. I know the 6.2 is rated higher. But Im also guessing those are a bit inflated numbers. Plus im sure the mpg is worse etc. Just my thoughts. The 6.0 will out last it without a problem.
  12. I do believe that the 6.0 gas truck did not come with the assisted steering. Only the diesels. Does anyone on here have a gas truck with this problem? Thank.s
  13. try under your phone settings. general management. language and input. then text to speech. speech rate. and pitch etc. Helped a little with mine. But sometimes it says it cant find the name I say. Even though it repeats the same name back to me. then my kid tries it and it works. Something to do with how i say the name etc.
  14. Ive have found with my s7 you have to go into the settings and allow the truck to wake the phone for voice activation to work. The other settings i had to play with was the speed that the phone receives your voice. I talk faster than the stock setting and it wouldnt understand my initial Contact description. My wifes name etc. It seems to be much better now. However it can be a bit spotty sometimes and it helps to wake your phone before you get into the truck. Also the Android app does work good if your connected via the usb. Hope this helps some. Do some google searches about S7 and voice recognition etc.
  15. 17 front ends on the HD are the same as 16. Just the hoods were changed for the Diesel trucks.
  16. I know the 6.0 is good. Just upgraded from an 01 to the 16. But with my setup Going up an 8% grade in the old truck id be basically in 1st gear do the the 4l80E doing about 4500rpm. at 70Kmh. Havnt made that pull yet with the new truck and 6spd. But hoping i can at least pull 80kph to 100kph in 2ond or 3rd.
  17. What kind of grade and length hills do you see with that trailer?
  18. Something is wrong. That engine and truck combo will out pull and out work the 5.7hemi without an issue. Either you have a brake issue on the truck or trailer or there is a warranty issue with the truck? BAD gas is also possible! Just my 2cs. I pull a 20ft travel trailer 6800lbs dry with 2 bike a boat and geny and gear in the truck without issues up and around our local mnts. 8% grade and 80km. In the summer! Something is wrong.

In the summer! These engines. Just like the old 350cu like to be up around 4000-4500rpm for best torque and Hp. Thats where they live.Dont lug it. Its not a big block or a diesel. And its safe to run around 5000rpm all day long.
  19. Why did they charge you for the first Hydroboost unit?? That should be warranty as well. And now that you paid for the first one and the problem was solved with a second one. They should be refunding you that amount!
  20. What did they do to get it all fixed? And there shouldnt be a repair bill?? Do you not still have warranty?
  21. Old thread. But im just wondering if you could post a night shot out the back of the truck etc? How much light do they throw out from the truck. I like the look and idea of these little lights. Instead of the larger Rigid ones like in later posts. Thanks for the help!!
  22. Older post now. But im thinking of doing this same setup that you have. However i was wondering if you could show how much extra light those little led's throw out the side of the truck? Appreciate the help thanks
  23. Finally figured how to post a pic. LOL. My New 16. Great deal and love the colour. Only 1600Km so far. 33" Ko2. Love the upgrade from my 01 HD.
  24. Well aware of this. And they do stay on while in reverse.
