  1. Used Pulsar LT for 2019-2022 5.3L or 6.2L engines. Removed from a 2021 5.3L,works perfectly. Includes original box, instructions, mounting bracket, etc. $275 plus shipping. I'll take PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or Cash app. If paying PayPal friend and family I'll split the fee with you. Been around here for about 5 years, bought a 2026 now. located near Allentown PA. I can send pics to anyone who wants them, this site doesn't seem to allow them Thanks, Mark
  2. Just a thought.... I see people selling 2500 fuel tanks on ebay... Couldn't you just swap in the 36 gal tank?
  3. You're in the minority here, the 10spd is anything but sloppy. Maybe there's something wrong with your's but the majority around here rave about it. Trucks shifting like they have shift kits are a thing of the past. Most people would prefer to not even feel the shift. My camaro with the manual 6 speed is for banging gears.
  4. You have to be the first person ever to like the 8 spd over the 10 spd. Your Comment about not feeling the 10 spd shift.... That's a good thing. The 10spd is light years better than the 8.
  5. Thanks for the info! I've got everything in the garage except for the new pan gasket, finally found one on ebay. Some sort of national backorder. I'll be ready to go next weekend
  6. Had my truck inspected and emissions tested Christmas week. Didn't even think about removing it. Passed with zero issues.
  7. So just hit 40k on my 21 5.3 Sierra Elevation w/10spd and in case I decide to keep it long term (thinking about a 2500 in 2 yrs) I'm going to change the fluid since I tow an 8k lb car trailer a dozen times a year. My plan is to pull the pan, change the filter and weld a drain plug in the pan. Then I'll just change pan fluid (4qts) a couple times a year. My question is, the pan looks pretty easy to pull except for the exhaust. Has it been determined that we can just put a 2x4 on the frame and ratchet strap the exhaust down a bit to get clearance? Thanks! Mark
  8. Just posting my 2 cents. I have a 21 1500 Elevation with 5.3L 10spd & 4wd. I pull a 24' enclosed car trailer that with my car loaded is about 8500lbs. I've pulled it anywhere from 50-200 miles one way in temps around 90F and normally I see upper 150'sF in temp. When towing up steep highway inclines in PA I've seen around 170F, maybe 175F tops. What you're seeing is absolutely not normal. Somethings wrong.
  9. Update: my car trailer pulls way nicer with these. Great mod!
  10. I just used the existing speaker wire and speaker wire adapters in the doors so I didn't have to cut anything. Most are doing it this way.
  11. Oh almost forgot, we used a bottle jack to push the bottom of the strut up to sneak it back into the A arm mount on the reinstall. We couldn't compress the springs enough to freely pass the a arm. It's a ******.
  12. The install sucks. I did my 21 Elevation and it took me and a master mechanic to do it. Spring compressors while strut still in the truck, Big pry bars and ALOT of ass even after removing the ball joint nut to get enough room to get the strut assembly out. Once you do the first one the 2nd obviously goes better but expect about 4hrs start to finish. And take your time when setting up the new strut in the assembly. I forgot to put the lift clip on the strut on the 2nd one and ended up doing the passenger side again when I saw the clip on the floor after putting it all back together. No videos yet that I saw back in November when I did mine. Good luck
  13. I did the MVI version which is the same thing. I run a wireless camera on the back of my enclosed car trailer. I did not do the kicker subwoofer, I replaced the entire system so my sub just plugs into the amp behind the rear seat. It might be a bit crowded but there enough room to maneuver things around and make it work.
  14. Auto is absolutely awesome as soon as your tires get a bit of wear and start slipping when making turns from a stop in the rain. I use it Alot in that scenario. In the dry, I turn it off.
  15. They are great, such an improvement when hauling my enclosed car trailer! Just did the fronts this past weekend, hardest strut change I've ever done. 2 guys, Huge pry bar and a bottle jack to get them back in, even after dropping the ball joint. But they're done now and I'm tempted to go load my car up to test out the towing feel.... But I'll probably wait till the spring.
  16. So I have this camera system for my enclosed 24' car trailer, I have a 21 Elevation. Minimal install, unit goes under the glove box, camera extension antenna goes down the passenger side door floor and antenna mounted on inside of back window. Then camera mounted to back of trailer, and I have about 32ft of cable running to the camera antenna mounted on the front of the trailer. Works great vision wise. It's a little clunky pulling up the camera on the stereo display.... You push the disconnect call on the wheel twice in a row to pop the camera up on the display and then twice again to go back to the radio/android auto/car play screens or you can push the home button to get off the camera view. But when you push the phone disconnect button it mutes the stereo, and sometimes you have to push it a 3rd time if you don't do it quite right timing wise. But it's still way better than having an external screen somewhere on your dash. https://www.gm-navigation.com/shop/2019-and-up-chevy-silverado-and-gmc-sierra-camera-module/
  17. Mine was fixed by a CPU update back in 10/21. Hasn't done it since. Make sure they follow the directions to the T provided in the bulletin.
  18. I think you can turn it off in the settings. I don't recall exactly, try searching thru the menu settings and you should find it.
  19. It's not even compatible with a 21 with the 10spd. Would have bought it a while ago if so. Two birds, one stone.
  20. I'm towing a 24' enclosed car hauler with a combined weight of 8k when my Camaro is loaded. I run a 21 Elevation with a 5.3 and 10spd and a 9300 rated tow capacity. I run a Blue Ox WDH on link 9. It tows it pretty well. I got 10.3mpg the other day on a 220 mile round trip to New Jersey Motorsports Park. I pretty much stay in the right lane as much as possible and keep it around 65-70mph. Do I feel it? Yes. Is it unsafe? No. You have to be careful pulling something that's pretty much a box on wheels, but if you take your time and don't put yourself in dumb situations it's perfectly adequate. These new T1 trucks are plenty capable.
  21. Just pulled my 18 camaro SS 1LE (3650) in my new 24ft enclosed trailer (4300lbs) about 120 miles each way to the race track yesterday in my 21 Elevation 5.3 10spd. Tried to stay between 65-70mph on the 70mph highways and mostly in the right lane (10.3mpg). Occasionally I'd have to pass a truck that was just running too slow but the key is, don't be in a hurry (still learning that). Trans maybe hit 175F in 75 degree ambient temps. Truck pulls it pretty damn well, truck is rated for 9300lbs. Oh FYI, I use a Blue Ox weight distribution hitch. Definetely need one of those pulling this trailer.
  22. I don't recall the exact update but I do know it came out in late Sept 2021.
  23. I had issues that sound very much like yours but without the drivability issues back from 2/21 till almost 11/21. They finally fixed it with an updated tune but it took a long time to get to that point. But the drivability issues you're mentioning are definetely something different. May be a lifter intermittently going out but everytime I read of someone with that it's a permanent issue, not sporadic.
