Trail Boss 1

i bought the one from the dealer in texas for around 250 bucks. installed looks like an exact match and now i have center seat storage. bought the under seat storage for the back seat for around the same. so for 500 bucks i have about the same storage the LT has for 10 grand less. no idea why the LT is so much more.

i tend to side with the OP with regards to SJW and the desire for everyone to look like a hero exposing someone on a FB page. I see it a lot. That said, there are still idiots leaving children in hot cars to die. to go that way is a horrible death and while i understand the parent already suffers the loss of their child(we give them the benefit of the doubt even though they caused the death) i believe they should receive lengthy prison time. most don't. killing a child in any manner is probably the worst thing a person can do. i would never leave my child in a locked car with it running to go in a store. there is nothing i need worth that. as for dogs, they are pets and owners have a responsibility but some regard the act of leaving a pet in a car equal to a child and that's insanity at its finest. i would personally not take a dog to a store or restaurant. IMHO the feature to start a car when youre not in it should be used only for warming or cooling it down. not for babysitting.

Nice work.

CUSTOM Trail Boss has the 5.3 AFM only. The OP says 2019 Chevy AFM 1500 Disable in his title. Why bring up other variants and cause confusion. The original question stands: is there a AFM disable that will work on the 19? with the understanding that they are working on getting access to the computers to make tuners, it is still not clear to me if a tuner off of a 2018 5.3 AFM will work or not. seems like it should since i doubt the technology was changed using a legacy engine. someone in the know please chime in. i have seen where you can change out hardware and remove the AFM and i have seen where you can add a kit to disable and leave it installed on previous models. would be nice to have this cleared up once and for all by a qualified source.

i cut those stupid resonators off and put a flowmaster 50 on in place of the muffler. getting some sound but not too loud. cost about 400 bucks total. they put pipe in the place of the resonators. oh to clarify, i put the flowmaster on first and made ZERO diff. had to cut the resonators off to hear anything. guy at the muffler shop had never seen such insanity.

has anyone put a different brand cap on with better results?

hopefully someone will make a supercharger for the 5.3 its underpowered imho.

yes it would probably meet your requirements stated here

theres no drone in the cab. because of the adjustable engine it really only is loud at acceleration and cold start. i read that they brought in Cadillac engineers to give the new trucks sound proofing. if i had known this i woulda used a 40 instead of a 50. i like it a little louder.

just talked to my service advisor and told him about the issue. asked if maybe we could put clamps on to re-inforce. he said and i quote: if it crimps the connector GM could void the warranty if your engine blows. wow. so a 50 dollar fix to save GM THOUSANDS would give them an out. everyone should call GM and report the issue so they pay attention. i can tell you if that happened where i work it would be all hands on deck. the fix for all of the lines would be less than replacing a handful of engines. not to mention bad press.

ya i'm thinking old school metal clamp at the crimp if that will re-inforce it. i'm gonna call my service guy this morning and pay for that if i have to. if it will work. 150 miles and now i have to sweat every mile after reading this thread. good grief. i been driving f150s for 20 years maybe shoulda stuck with them. i love the new TB look, its underpowered but that can be adjusted. was looking to keep this one a long time.

so i left the flowmaster on and cut the two pipes with the screens out. the guy at the muffler shop thought i was crazy till we fired it up and the sound was there. he'd never seen such a thing. so if you want the sound, put on a flowmaster and cut those stupid baffles off and you'll get the sound.

ya i just dropped 250 for a flowmaster 50 and got little to no sound improvement. are you saying just cut the muffler out altogether? will that be too loud to hear the radio? i do have a whine that i think is tires starts about 20 MPH. id like to drown that out with exhaust
