Seen from the last pictures they used stock type hangers, when had duels installed on the 2012 he used universal type hangers with rubber strap. I really didn't like the unused bracket on side of the frame, maybe straps better about vibration don't know. Going to get more info before install on my new truck. All clean welds Magnafow muffler duel to rear with 18" chrome tips $389 on the 2012

found pictures of 2012 installed and answered my questions , Magnaflow muffler smaller than huge OE muffler and used different hanger and another mounting location

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

Anyone have an idea of where I'd be able to get black chrome exhaust tips. The ones are the far left are what I'm after.

Go online and type Black chrome exhaust tips and several suppliers are listed Summit Racing ,Carid and others. Maybe a Silverline tip

Has anyone tried a 14" magnaflow while leaving the flapper valve and resonator in place?

Yes. Sounds like the truck was farting. Then went with 14 inch with duel turndowns before the rear end. That sound was MEAN in V8. V4 sounds like you are trying to outrun a Blackhawk helicopter. Would not recommend unless you only use manual mode or have V4 tuned out. TRUST ME lol.

Straight thru. You will loose some back pressure and some low end Tq. BUT... around 3 or 4,000 RPM sounds and runs great.

 

GM did a buyback on the Red truck so the dealership didn't even look at it when I went in to pick up the Ruby truck. After I pulled out my good floor mats and put them in the Ruby truck to leave I made it a point to hang around for a min to watch the salesman pull the Red truck around back. He almost si#t his pants and immediately shut the truck back off thinking something was wrong. :crackup:

So I'm guessing 18" magnaflow is the way to go. I would like to keep the flapper valve and resonator at first.

I wouldn't know. Sounds logical. Im thinking about trying a Flowmaster with the flapper and delete the resonator. IDK? DAMMMM V4!!!! lol. I still have a complete brand new exhaust system off the red truck. I can cut the flapper off it and run a Flowmaster 40 single in duel flappers out with turndowns. lol . HEY!.. That might just work. GENIOUS!

No. SouthernSilveradoGuy85 likes it too. I love drone. I once said embrace the drone. But it is pulsing, shaking , chopper that I don't like. What do you think about the double flapper idea?

I might just give it a try when it warms up a little.LOL Maybe put some external mini big rig style flaps. Like on the sportsman dragster headers. Nice and Redneck.

Ah, yes, I remember that post... "Embrace the DRONE!" :lol: I believe I quoted you on that a few times!

 

Yeah, I like the double flapper idea. Be sure to file a quick patent application. That way, when GM decides it's a good idea for all trucks, you'll be sure to get your cut! :cheers:

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
