We need programing to have the silverado 10 speed shift like the new Escalade V! I love my 10 speed but the lazy shifting is my only regret from my previous tuned trucks.

Thanks. I think my biggest issue is it never threw a code and now two weeks later it has not done it again. Time will tell.

I have a 2019 6.2 High County. The other day I had a bad lifter tick. I drove the truck probably 30 miles or so cutting it off and on a couple of times and after restarting the noise was still there. About the time I pulled in my driveway the noise was gone and it hasn't done it since. I know there are reports of collapsed lifters I just haven't seen any where the lifter sticks and then becomes unstuck. It never threw a cel so I am assuming taking to the dealer will be pointless.

I think this a definite possibility. Because in the past the ecu could be cracked fairly easy the need was not there for gm gas vehicles. But now because it is much more complex I think we will see piggy back types of tuning devices.

I am waiting on a replacement window also. Had it checked out about two weeks ago. 2019 High Country 10-18 build date.

I feel the same way. I have probably had a dozen oiled filters in the past and never a issue. I bought the dry one this time mainly because I have heard of people getting grief from the dealer some times if you need warranty work saying the oiled filter causes issue to the maf. Figured I would give it a shot.

When researching the different Volant filters I didnt want to use the oiled filter even though I have used mutiple K&N filters in the past because of the risk of oil contaminating the Maf. I read the Powercore has the best filtration especially for very dusty environments but gives up a little flow for filtration. The dry filter is kind of the opposite more flow but not as good for dirty environments. My truck is pretty much a street truck so the dry filter seemed to be the best choice.

I felt the same way. I ended up purchasing the Volant. With the MIT and filter costing over $200 and the Rotofab at $500 the Volant seemed to be the best of both worlds at $275. I really like the look of the Rotofab but for almost twice the price and most likely about the same performance it just seems over priced for a air intake. The above picture of the Volant is accurate. The top of the airbox is a couple of inches higher so the higher volume cone filter can fit. Here is a picture of mine installed.

I almost bought one. My concerns were it would probably scratch and dent easily along with it sits on top of the bed rails and that items might be hard to get out of the bed because the cover flips down when opening. If you search this site other feedback is it leaks some, rattles on rough roads and bounces at highway speeds. I really do like the way it looks and that it appears easy to remove. In the end I bought a undercover armorflex because I got a smoking deal on it. I will say my undercover leaks some also. Not terrible but some. I will say the finish on it is about as durable as you could get though.

I haven't heard of any tuners yet. I know they just started being able to tune with HP tuners about a month ago. Hopefully that opens the door for tuners to become available at a affordable option.

I really like mine. Personally I'm not a big fan of a raspy muffler delete type of sound. I like a exhaust to have a more refined controlled type of tone. The afe deffinetly has a nice deep tone.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but if you tap the auto tailgate button as it's going down it will stop forcing it's way open. I figured this out when I needed something out of the bed and didnt want the tailgate to go all the way down.

I'm not dogging the 5.3. I have owned several of them. They are great motors. A couple of things I disagree with you on this post is. First off half a second in the 1/4 is a substantial difference. Like 4 to 5 truck lengths difference. 4 mph does not sound like much but you would have to spend well over the price of a 6.2 vs moding a 5.3 to gain 4 mph and half a second in the 1/4. Secondly "you wont tell a difference in daily traffic or highway driving" between a 5.3 and 6.2 is not correct in my experience. The 70 plus lbs of torque is very noticable at lower rpms. I rarely red line my truck it's the low end torque that I like the most. Do you need a 6.2 most of the time? Nope. Do I think the $2500 for a 6.2 with a 10 speed is the best bang for your buck on a window sticker. Yep

I've owned several 5.3 trucks. My 19 is a 6.2. The one thing to consider is where previously you could do performance upgrades currently they are very limited. So what you have is pretty much all your going to get. I'm sure eventually tuning will be available but if it's anything like the corvette world the price for tuning is outrageous. Even small performance items like a air intake and cat back can cost you $2000 plus dollars and will still not perform anything like a 6.2. That's not even figuring the 10 speed vs the 8 speed in the equation for the 19 models. The 2020 10 speed 5.3 will perform slightly better than the previous 8 speed models but the 65 hp difference between the 6.2 and 5.3 is still very noticable.

Most likely another reason it is not displayed is because if you could see all the cylinder changes you would also start to feel when it changes. If you dont know it's doing it you are less likely to notice the "feeling" of the different dfm modes. I honestly rarely felt the dfm activate before I put a exhaust on. Now with the exhaust I can not only hear when dfm kicks in I can also feel the slight vibrations of it changing cylinders.

It's funny you say that. My wife actually likes the sound of my afe exhaust when the dfm kicks in.

It would be cool if one of the displays would show how many cylinders are firing and maybe even what gear you are in. If you barely have your foot on the gas it drops cylinders a lot. Just put on a aftermarket exhaust you still wont have a visual display but you will audibly recognize it.

What do you think of the exhaust after having it for a little while? I really like the tone of the afe.

I have a four post lift and I still had to cut the exhaust in one place right behind the muffler. It might be possible to take it out in one piece with the single tailpipe exhaust but not not with the dual tailpipe exhaust.

It has a little drone between 1500 and 1700 rpms. Not bad but it does have some. The only thing that annoys me some is you can hear the dfm. I am assuming because of the deeper tone you can hear it more than a corsa or gm performance exhaust. I would put it in a medium range for overall volume but sound is very subjective I'm sure some would call it loud and others would say it is quiet.

Here is a side by side picture of the 4" pipe and 3" tail pipes vs stock.

Yes I've had it on for about a month and a half or so. It has a very deep tone to it. I was going to post a sound clip but for some reason you cant hear it very well on video.

I will say mine "loosened up" over time. When I first got it the ride was very stiff. After a couple of thousand miles it seemed to ride better. I came from a Avalanche so the ride difference was very noticable at first.

If it's the same sound I hear. When I put my exhaust on it is much more pronounced. It almost sounds like a tinny kind of sound like when you go from stock exhaust manifolds to headers. Its definitely in the exhaust.

I still would be careful. Many places list that wheels will fit 2019 trucks but they truly don't know. I checked with some of the largest volume dealers in the country and it was still a case by case basis if a particular wheel would clear the calipers or not. The only way to know for sure is if the manufacturer has test fit the wheels or if the dealer has test fit them.
