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:

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
