  1. Hey all I just traded in my truck and have both the Range Pulsar LT and the obdii plug in for sale. Sold. Pulsar LT $350 Afm/Dfm disabler $125
  2. Just traded my truck and have one of these for sale
  3. Are yours power fold, heated, and task lights? I have an LTZ with the smaller mirrors which are power fold, heated, and task lights. Where are you located? Did you find out if the wiring harness will be a clean swap?
  4. I have considered dropping the profiles. My radio takes too long to load. If you do this will the seats still adjust to each key? If my wife drives the truck she is much shorter so having the key settings is nice. But if it solves loading screen issues it may be worth it.
  5. Ahh ok I thought there was some new cool thing that went in there which I needed to spend money on. It would be cool to put some lights or something in there.
  6. Just about any aftermarket exhaust is going to pop its part of the sound people normally want. The stock exhaust will quiet that down. I've had Flowmasters in the past and currently have the Borla S type and they all do it. There is no "fix" for it other than stock exhaust.
  7. I am interested to know why you did this and what you put in place of it.
  8. I have this same issue but I never plug my phone in with CarPlay I always use bluetooth and I get this repeatedly. I have had the dealer update me to the 808 version and it still does it. I just have found if I turn the truck on and sit for 2 mins for everything to load it has less of a chance to reboot.
  9. I had that same issue on my 2019 LTZ. It stopped doing it after a couple weeks. Check to see if there are any updates.
  10. I was having issues with my infotainment so I took it to the dealer for repair and they installed v808. I am not sure how well it works just yet but as you said it was only available via dealer.
  11. There are plenty of threads on this but for me I paid for a V8 and I want a V8. Besides the fact that AFM was plagued with lifter failures and oil consumption issues. The people who had their engine in V8 all the time has much less of this happen. For me the little bit of fuel savings won’t even out $$$ wise for repair costs. Granted it’s under warranty for repairs. But like I said before I paid for a V8 and want a V8 not some other number of cylinders.
  12. I beta tested and I love it. I will continue to use it. I recommend the buy if you want to have it in V8 and stop auto/stop start. I only take mine out when going to the dealer for service and then plug it right back in. I had no real issues to speak of though you will feel a more rough transmission shift. At least i did with my 8 sp trans. No CEL or any other issues. I never had to send my unit back for any updates. Worked from day 1 of beta testing the whole way through. I did notice a slight drop in MPG by about 2 mpg but that is because I was having fun in V8. When on the highway I was only about .2-.5 mpg less on normal highway trips. So really not that bad.
  13. I was hoping for this too. I wanted to add my own. I am not sure why in this day and age Chevy thought it was a good idea to not include that.
  14. Well this hit me today. Driving on a dirt road about 56*F dry conditions. Switched from auto to 2H just before I hit pavement again and got the service 4wd and the orange light for the indicator. Drove home about 5 miles parks and waited for about 5 mins. I restarted and it’s all still there. I take mine to the dealer tomorrow for warranty work on it. I hope it’s a fast fix but these posts don’t seem good.
  15. I got the Flowmaster 50 series delta flow part #943051. Installed today with a few welds and some extra pipe. I have some video that I can splice together but it’s VERY deceiving. What you hear in the video is much less than in person. I will try to review below. Start up is louder than stock and the tone is deeper but it drops down quick with RPM and idle sounds very similar to stock. For this I would say stock sound level is a 2 and the Flowmaster is a 4 (out of 10 scale) Inside driving is more noticeable. You can tell that you are no longer stock but it’s not overbearing. Stock sound is a big fat zero. As you know you almost have to floor it to hear that you have a V8. With the Flowmaster now you can hear the engine with normal driving. The good thing is that when you are playing the radio you won’t be drown out by an overly loud exhaust. Since I took out the flapper too I can now hear when the DFM kicks in and I’m not running in all 8 cylinders. The new trucks don’t show you how many cylinders you are working with but you will know if you change exhaust. So I’m short. Stock=O and Flowmaster =7 great sound when you want it no big drone and quiet when cruising. And pops and gurgles too when letting off the gas. Now let’s get to the real sound. Stock we know outside is not too bad but man these trucks are quiet. Revving stock is maybe 2-4 decibel level and some tone. You throw this Flowmaster in and you are at a 9 easy. I’m not sure how they keep the drone down and nice and quiet inside while sounding like it’s in beast mode standing behind it. I had my wife rev a few times and wow I was not expecting. Deep tone and loud enough that everyone knows you don’t have a stock exhaust. like I said before the video won’t do it justice like being in person. I highly recommend. I wanted something that I could hear when I get on it but I didn’t want a loud drone when cruising. I’ve had the Flowmaster 40 and it sounded great but was just too loud for my liking inside. While the 50 series delta flow is not as loud as the 40 series I think it’s a good balance between sound and quiet.
  16. I’m getting a Flowmaster installed today. Just a muffler swap. Borla is a good brand but they are selling a car back system for $1100 and just want your money. Hey the Flowmaster is like $100 bucks on Amazon. If it drones I will check out a cat back system. But since this is not my first rodeo I will I tell the Flowmaster and save the extra money for other parts.
  17. I got the V807 update a few days ago I believe it was Wednesday or Thursday. I’ve driven the truck a few days now and today (Saturday) I was driving and all of a sudden my infotainment system and my small screen on my instrument panel for no reason restarted while driving. I was not touching the system at all just driving. It looked like it restarted similar to if I had turned the truck off and turned it back on. Everything worked fine during the shut off and it came back on fast but then said no gps and did not have the outside temp. I got to my destination and it was parked for about an hour and no issues on the way home. It was just very strange. I have no idea why it restarted. It’s been a few days since the V807 update and this was not my first trip since the update. If it keeps acting strange I will take it to the dealer.

  19. I have exhaust clamps that I will be installing soon on a fully stock exhaust. I want to see how this sounds until I can buy my Borla S type system.
  20. This did not work for me. Mine still lowers the ringer very low. Im not sure what the problem is.
  21. I did not want subtle but I did want clean and classy so I went with black letters for my white LTZ. I think it makes it really stand out but it’s not too in your face.
  22. My new truck. Added a few things since day 1. I need to take more pics
