Years ago we used to be able to swap a older engine block (this is in the 80's/early 90's) and they would emissions exempt you. Wish that was still used today! Out of my 4 vehicles 2 are emissions exempt. Sucks we all have to deal with it somehow. You will pass! Just talk nicely to your truck! ;-) haha

I do that when I tow the toy hauler.

 

And what I do for a living... I'm a full-time student. I do side work now and then

That sucks man, god up here you can basically do anything you want...I've heard of people getting caught for straight pipes and get a noise violation. But as for the actual emission stuff never heard of anyone getting in trouble. That must suck to deal with.

 

Hard to get into trouble in a province that has no emissions system anti tampering laws of any kind.

 

E fans only cause issues with the junk setups I see on trucks for sale on kijiji. 2005-2013 factory fans and the oem 05-07 harness with proper pcm control is absolutely rock solid. Way bettwr in the winter time too than that useless clutch fan.

 

I'm curious about improvement felt with the gmt900 intake. I have 2 of them( o e gmt900 and one trailblazer ss) and an x link but have never bothered swapping yet.

Mine came from an 06 TBSS. When I get everything it will be done. But I have other things that became a higher priority

Cool. Mine tbss one is off a low mile 07 that got swapped to carb and put in an old Camaro. Other one off my 100 dollar 4.8 lol. I have some time off in August so maybe I will try one on one of my trucks and see how it goes.

I read it is good for boosted applications. I alo read they are prone to gaskets leaking. That is wwjy I went with the TBSS intake

Yeah..... the one guy in particular ran 3 and not one sealed properly. His final one wouldn't run a heads cam lq9 properly so he gave up. He pee'd on it, ran over it with a garden tractor and then finally burnt it. Lol. If I get crazy I will probably go with a holley highram setup. Otherwise a tbss intake works really well apparently. Enough boost and the stock intake is just fine too.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
