So I guess I'm gettin old but I just couldn't take it anymore. I finally broke down and installed new exhaust on my truck. For the last 3.5 years since I bought my truck I have been running 3" pipes from the cats back with no mufflers. In my opinion it sounded good because the big pipes made for a real nice deep tone. It was LOUD though!! I couldn't take it anymore and when towing I thought my head was gonna expload. I had been looking at the Flowmaster Force 2 system ($400) for a while. I went up to the exhaust shop that has done all my work on 3 different trucks and told them I wanted a 3" single side exit system with a 50 series Flowmaster muffler. I really like the look and sound of this new system. It's plenty quiet but still has some good tone to it. The shop did the entire system for $270. It's the same thing that the flowmaster complete kit would be just way cheaper. I had them reuse one of my 3.5" tips. I hate the look of the rolled edge straight cut tip that would have come with the Flowmaster kit.

Thanks man. It can really get old driving with no mufflers on the highway and all over town. This new set up is perfect. The 50 series is one of flowmaster's quieter mufflers and after going the last 7 years with no mufflers, I must say I enjoy the sound of this system. The price was great too, the shop I use does great work.

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.
