I’m about to hit a 120k. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

Sounded like fun at the time :doh 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

I decided to drive over a screw at some point yesterday so I could give myself a flat. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

GM Borla. Had the v4 mode for two weeks before I tuned it. Never heard it. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

I live south for a reason and it’s not for winter. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

Never heard it.

I'm in central texas. I'm not used to this cold weather. 2 days ago it was 85 and sunny. Now rainy and cold and windy. Oh well. At least I'm bbq'ing at the office today drinking company supplied adult beverages.

Remove it. Mine's open and I have no idea what this helicopter noise is. Never heard it before with borla's. Now it's tuned out and I don't worry about it.

Keep that crap up there. It’s barely November and they are already forecasting freezing temps next week down here with rain which means ice. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

Mine just did the random beep with no indicator this weekend. Sounded just like the seat belt warning. Hadn’t even touched the brake to shift out of park yet and it was beeping at me. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

Took the family to a pumpkin patch Saturday and had some fun in some mud. Took mom to go see the new Halloween movie. Today was gorgeous so I decided to let the car stretch its legs. Hadn’t been driven in almost two weeks due to the weather. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

Dunno if it’s an e85 thing or not but mine has a cap on it. My charger and the wife’s explorer don’t but neither are flex fuel. And nothing will piss you off more than when that stupid little flap won’t open to stick the fuel nozzle in. Talk about seeing a white rage trying to beat on that stupid thing to get it to work. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

I hate steel braided hose. Did one fuel system with it and swore to never use it again. I tried all of the same tricks you did. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

What about using one of these for crank case and brake booster? 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

Thanks for the link. Just bought the 23mm version. I’m going to copy your step idea and I’ve got some ideas for a couple other places in the truck and my charger. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

117,500 miles. Going up daily. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

I read the whole thread. I’ve read several of these threads. Great information. Never knocked it. But I’ve also lived, learned, and been around long enough to know that to much information in the wrong hands is just as harmful as not enough information. That chart is great as it’s an easy thing to digest and comprehend. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

All of this is great information but has there been any evidence to support that you’ll get longer engine life other than what is speculated here? I once got all wrapped up in monitoring all of my temps and trying to keep things under certain numbers that I read on the internet (ironically the same numbers in this thread were brought up on the diesel threads as well). After years and who knows how much money spent on coolers and fluids etc, I came to realize that it’s all just speculation and theory on paper and that in reality my engine and transmission were going to last well beyond the rest of the truck by just following the owners manual. Since then I’ve taken several vehicles well over a 100k and a couple over 200k miles with no issues. My family that runs a farm and tows heavy often has taken several vehicles well over a 100k and 200k with no break downs. My in laws, friends, etc. All of them run well over a 100k miles and some over 200k with no failures in engines or transmissions. And this is a combination of loaded and unloaded. I worry about the uneducated (not meant to be derogatory) people who come to these forums and read threads like this and without knowing what they are reading, they start throwing money at things that they don’t need to because some really smart people said some really big words. Worrying about trans temps and coolant temps and oil temps is useful for .5% of people who tow regularly and heavy and if you are towing that often and heavy you should probably step up the truck size. The other 99.5% of folks will never have a need to worry about things like this. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

Where’d you get that grill? 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

Guy gets a storm trooper key and your first reaction is this? And people call me narrow minded. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

It really is. Mine is the Texas flag. Gives me a little smirk every time I look at it. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

I tuned out the afm//dod and I’ve noticed my brakes doing funny things lately that seem to lead me to believe it’s a vac pump going out. I’m curious to see where this thread goes. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

Installed Rough Country steps. Before After I also got some carbon fiber wrap and wrapped the bow ties on the front and back. I’m not happy with how it turned out so no pictures. First time I’ve ever messed with wrapping. 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level

Have you taken it to a dealer to be looked at or are you out of warranty? Seems to me that if you aren’t getting power at the pads then it’s gotta be something else upstream. You’ve checked fuses and relays but have you checked that those are getting power as well? 2014 z71 LTZ Volant Intake Borla Exhaust Diablo Bilstein 5100 Rough Country Level
