I had a Borla Pro XS installed on my 2011 this week, the sound is nice and throaty with a lot of bass. 90% of the time I am loving it, but on the highway it's pretty loud especially around 70 mph. Gets better around 75. Just wondered if anyone had any low cost solutions. Not sure if resonated tips help or if I live with it until I decide I like it enough to keep or replace again with something less aggressive. Just wondered if anyone had any input for me. I'll try to get some video/audio posted in the next week or so. Overall great sound.. just 65-70 problematic drone.

 

thanks for any input.

Spent a good chunk of the morning taking pictures in Glen Canyon National Rec Area.

 

Here's one next to bridge over Colorado River Highway UT 95.

Cleaned the throttle body and mass air flow sensor today also installed a new air filter. Hopefully my mileage goes up a little bit.

Dropped mine off at the shop for an alignment and PA state inspection.

Got the truck back from the alignment. Mechanic said that my drivers side wheel bearing had some play, but nothing to be concerned about just yet. He also told me my wheel speed sensor is probably going bad since my ABS keeps acting up. It seems to be getting worse because today it was kicking in under normal braking, and it hasn't done that before. I'm going to pull the fuse for now until I can replace the hub.

But all we can see is the truck.

I wanna make my truck sound nice and throaty, any suggestions for a muffler? I have a 2000 Chevy

Picked up the keys to the new shop. Plans are to build a 2.5 car garage in front of the existing 1.5 car garage in the next 5 years. I wanted a 2 car already built, but the view and price were just to good to pass up...

I didn't get to go but a bunch of people moved trucks to the track tonight. Here is a photo that was posted

Lol... compared to what exactly? Because neither do most GM's.... your carpeted wheel well liners and paint that falls off at the thought of a rock are living proof of that. For work I take my Tundra over my Chev any day of the week... and I actually do.

Ahh but you see.. I don't have carpeted wheel well liners and paint that falls off. I have a REAL truck. You have.. well.. a Toy truck. It's all good though.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
