LOL< my 5 year old and I are both built like big boys, but not quite as big as the reflection showed! He likes helping around the house and on mechanical things.

That's memories Brother and he will all way's remember them too. My Dad let me torque all of the main cap bolts and Head bolts on a 283 chevy engine when I was 10 and I thought I was the $hit assembling an engine!

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.

Sweet! My dad was a ME and did all his own auto work. I've decided to at least do the oil changes to teach the boy.

Has anyone seen/heard the new Dynomax cat back system with the integrated flapper in the VT muffler (part # 38531)? I'm thinking it might be the answer I'm looking for... stainless, nice sound, NO DRONE, and reasonable price.

My buddy has one on his 09. He likes it. It sounds good as well. Great for the price in my opinion.

The cutaway look in side of the Dynomax looks a little sketchy to me. That little spring? But I cannot personally comment. IDK? It might be amazing tho'. And if you did have a problem with it. I would hate to ponder... :dunno:

I built a single in dual out system using a dynomax vt muffler- i basically used the pipes from their kit and substitute the vt muffler. I still get the v4 drone - if thats what you wanna call it. The exhaust sound is perfect when not in v4 it not loud at all unless you have your foot into it. I cannot compare it to another exhaust on this truck because I have nothing to compare it to , All I can say is I ran Gibson on my 2010 5.3 and my 2005 6.0 and those had a drone at cruising speed on the highway and this does not. The kits are relatively cheaper and come with a nice clamps vs the cheap u bolt clamps. I think I built my exhaust for 350.00

Exhaust system mods completed today. I'm very happy with the results. Went with a Flowmaster Super 50 Series single inlet/dual outlet to stainless steel dual walled oval tips. The shop incorporated my flapper valve which was cut off the stock system. The flapper was installed. Upstream of the muffler similar to the GM Borla system. Great sound, not obtrusive and none of the V4 issues others have complained of.

 

Here's a few pics while I figure how to post video.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?
