Now that I am out of bed, the tires are 275/55R20XL Cooper's. I keep 50 PSI in the back when I tow. the 2500HD springs helped a lot in that. the trailer is 9300 pounds not ready to camp

You need that regear. Your tranny is gonna be cursing you

I have an alternate route if I cant regear at the beginning of July. It has far less hills. It is almost flat.

I wanted to add something. My transmission cooler was installed by Sean Mahaney, who used to be the lead fabricator of West Coast Customs/Street Customs. He's is now a fabricator at Ace hydraulic in Bakersfield, CA. When I went in for the work I was immediately referred to his bay. He is real humble and didn't mention his time with the other shop or "Pimp My Ride".

Wednesday I ran into my old neighbor while getting gas. Josh (my old neighbor) is a field tech for Ace Hydraulic and he was asking about the install and who did it. I told him Sean and at the point he said he was the best man for the job. He begun to tell me what Sean did before becoming a local hydraulic technician. So I have to give a massive thanks to Sean Mahaney for the amazing work he did on my truck and how friendly he was to me. He let me stand there every step of the way.

Wow, you really do need a regear, I didn't know you were running 3.42s. You don't have 4x4 do you? It's a lot cheaper if you only have to do one dif. :P

Haha, nice. I'm actually home on leave right now in Michigan. I got a quote once for regearing my 06, I had purchased the gears for the rear and front. I was going to put in 4.56 instead of the stock 3.73 (lifted running 35's). They told me just to do the rear end it would be just under $1000. I said no thank you and hung up.

Dang thats expensive. I even asked my dealer what it would cost them to do mine (both), and they gave me a quote for 800 an axle. And that is for the install of gears, axles, carrier, bearings, and shimmed properly (all parts provided by me). I thought that was a bit high, but I haven't called around yet for other quotes.

I am going to order a complete 14 bolt rear, 3.73 w/G80 and brakes from a 2012 NHT. Only thing I need to do is retune and get an adapting U-joint from Spicer. Got all my in for today. It will run me like $2200 new after taxes.

 

After I fox the smaller issues and pass emissions (knock sensors, right cat) I will do this.

They dont make the half yon ones with a 4.10 anymore and I also do a lot of highway driving with this truck. A tuner also advised me against 4.10's if I go with forced induction

I'm assuming this already has the 6 lug axles in it? I wouldn't mind having something stronger for a rear end, that is if I decide to build a 6.0

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
