    2017 sierrra. 63k Pads are probably half or less on the front. Rotors are gone and warped. Rears? Fluid is down a bit in the master. Haven’t flushed her yet. Looking for replacements....Chevy brake kit is too much. Any opinions on the best stuff out there?

    Do you have window vent visors? The internal channel ones?

    Dyno before / after?

    Is it worth it?

    Is there still the option to adjust max blower speed as there was in the k2 trucks?
  6. DeePa
    Blown.

    One of mine was replaced under warranty.

    The line on my 17 was replaced under warranty. Dealership caught it while changing the vac pump. Truck had 56k. Just a FYI. Wonder if the new cable is a updated design?

    Having two k2 trucks, your factory shocks are garbage when brand new. Whoever fixed my quote in their post can go F themselves. Your psi creates a firmer ride, making your suspension work harder, and taxing out your shitty shocks that are older than last year. Change your shocks. Done. Best 400 I’ve ever spent on both my 2014 and 2017.

    Junk shocks. End of story.

    Is your front bracket installed wrong? what if you skip using the front bracket?

    I matched the door panel trim on my Sierra slt z71 i installed the console before i got the harness. One 110v and one 12v work. I bolted it in the rear and at the front bracket. Pulled the truck side wiring harness and put it on the driveshaft/trans hump. Once i got the harness, it was under an hour start to finish. Make sure you get 2 usb mini b to mini b off of amazon. Best mod yet.

    If you use the rear mount and the front mount by the dash, you can probably omit it IMO

    What’s involved with installing the electric pump from the vettes?

    My pedal has started to get hard when parallel parking and backing into spots. I have an apt at the dealer Tuesday and they better change it. What at are some symptoms? Mine is a hard pedal when I’m in parking lots and my vac pump has had a loud tick once per engine rev ever since new.

    My dad bought a 2003 brand new. his chrome running boards look better than mine off of my 2017. 16 new England winters vs 2. Such a shame

    i remember reading that there are issues with the door harness chafing. id think to pull the panel again and go over all wires and look for fraying.

    Just took it for a 55 mile or so test drive. It’s always an uneasy feeling to drop 500 bucks not really knowing what the results could be. This truck is so much smoother and more relaxing to drive. There’s more useable power and when at low cruising rpms, you can give it light throttle and it’ll accelerate with out downshifting like an ****. The trans TC shudder is gone. No more guessing to lock/unlock/downshift. Got 18.0 avg mpg over 25 miles and 18.1 over 50 miles driving between 70-75-80 the whole time. The truck is leveled with bilsteins, and has 275/60/20s on aftermarket rims. Just by putting the slightly larger rims/tires on, I lost over 2 mpg before the tune. Part of me wishes I went with a better octane/more aggressive tune, but I’m really happy with it and it was worth every penny. It also feels like the truck vibrates less at highway speeds. I did get it aligned and wheels balanced before the tune, but this feels even better. Screw the 6 speed tsbs. Just tune it and be done with it. Anyone in New England, I have a great tuner in RI. thanks all. Mike

    Got the truck done. Feels much better shifting but haven’t had it on the highway yet. Stuck with 87/89 fuel. Gained 20 tq and 20 hp average. Tune was done on a mustang dyno. Max tq 269 at 4100 rpms and 259 hp at 5500 rpms. Ill have a better feel for it once I get a tank of fuel through it and will report back. What are normal hp/tq gains when tuned ???

    He’s an ex gm field engineer and knows his stuff. He’s going from square 1 and tuning it while it’s on the dyno. He did my 91 c4’s modded 383. Came out great. I’ll post the truck numbers mid week. Im not against doing a trans pan/filter/possible torque converter myself. The exhaust system is in the way and I really don’t feel like this turning into a full blown project. I have that with my vette. This is just a tune for some HP / TQ, removing the shudder, fixing the trans, and getting rid of AFM. Thanks and ill I’ll be in touch Mike

    Dropping off the truck for a dyno tune / trans tune / AFM delete on Saturday...should have it back by next Tuesday. I'll get the fluid flush done and go from there. Thanks for your help....waiting for this to get worse and having to deal with the dealer over and over...this is the easy and more exciting way out.

    So the dealer test drove the vehicle, and felt the slight shudder, but the pico did not pick it up...So they didn't do anything for my 6 speed. The tech was saying the updated fluid was only for the 8 speeds. Is this correct? They mentioned that I should just keep driving it until it gets worse, then they will try again for the TSB...they're very cooperative and trying to help, but the pico needs to pick up the shudder in order for the work to be covered under warranty, which makes sense. Part of me wants to get the fluid flushed / pan dropped and filter changed, get a tune done, and be done with it. The truck has 53k on it, I towed a 22' 6k trailer 2000 miles when the truck was only had 6000 miles on it, so that's why I'd like to get the fluid changed out. The shudder happens more when its cold out and the trans temp is around 150 deg. Sometimes it happens severely in the middle of a long trip but its almost impossible to duplicate when the pico is hooked up. It happens more with the stock rim/tires (which I had on for the dealer visit), but it does not happen as badly with the 33" tires and rims...they're larger and heavier, so the trans is less likely to stay in the shudder sweet spot. It'll downshift earlier or stay locked up, and my fuel mileage obviously pays for it. Thoughts? Am I making a big deal out of nothing? Thanks Mike
