The 5.3L doesn't have a 3" inlet, does it?

Finally had the tips moved to rear quarter flush and with a slight stagger.   Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

The number of hours spent on any given forum are directly proportional to the number of dollars spent on subject vehicle.   Ask me how I know.

Just installed a Gibson Dual Sport stainless cat-back system. Pretty straight forward install except for the exhaust clamp just behind the third converter. It was a bear to loosen and l ended up heading to Napa to get a replacement. There was no way it was going to go back on without snapping. Went for a disastrous test drive and noticed a lot of rattling at stop signs and very loud note. Took a peek once I was back in the driveway and found I had not tightened the single inlet clamp going into the muffler enough. I ended up trimming the dual outlets about six inches so the 4" tips wouldn't stick out too far. I have long trip into camp this weekend (about 2.5 hours highway/3 hours on logging roads). This should be a good break-in and test for V4 drone. Initial impression is quite an aggressive sound - a lot deeper/louder tone in the cabin and out.

Does anyone know if the stock exhaust on a Crew Cab can be removed without cutting it apart? Will it come out in one piece?

Thanks.

I tried removing without cutting but couldn't do it. I cut a couple inches behind the muffler so there would be room the slice it back together if need be. I didn't have access to a lift so that might make a difference in getting the rear resonator over the axle.

My Double cab came out in one piece. I just put all 4 wheels up on a jackstand and removed the spare.

I believe yours will do the same as the part that is over the rear axel is the same and that is the part that requires a little maneuvering to get out.

For anyone using the dynamax VT muffler.... Did you guys had it welded on or clamped down?

So the 14" magnaflow is plenty loud with the 3rd converter left intact, so gonna keep it like that. However, not fully sold on the location of the tips. Opinions? Leave it where it is or move it to exit behind rear tire in stock locstion?

had the same setup as you on a 2004. the oval tips kinda dont go with the square look of the truck. That is honestly a great setup and I will be doing something simalar on my 2014. However I think a couple of tips that are a little more square and sit flush and staggered would look sweet on your ride. Maybe even painted black would look even better on your truck. I want that same setup...

Did you remove the "flapper" valve and resonator? (BTW, I'm the one and only forum member who actually likes drone! :cheers: )

No your not.... I like it too. :cheers:

 

I just ordered a MBRP 3.5" single exit cat-back that should be on by next week sometime. Can't wait to actually hear my 6.2

Got word that corsa is doing the final testing and what not for the 6.2's. Finally. So I might just do a muffler delete ATM and then go with a full system when it comes out.

Finally, another "Drone-Brother"! Haha... yeah, I learned to love drone when I put that Billy Boat cat-back on the Vette... Loud and drone-heavy! :thumbs:

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
