I also have the one that ratchets down with the 3 prongs. It works well and holds on tight. I'm looking for a new one. A flat black clamp band style. Most are showing 3" inlet. Can anyone confirm that a 3" inlet one will slide on and clamp down properly. 5.3L exhaust. Thanks.

Could you guys get someone to put a small tack weld on these things. As a motorcycle rider I can not tell you how many times I have had to play "dodge the exhaust tip" on the hi-way. Almost got killed when a 3 foot stack came out of some guys pick up, he had two right behind the cab like a tractor trailer,and one came loose and fell overboard side ways and came at me like a helicopter blade. It hit my front tire and went through the side window of the car in the next lane. Not fun.

Manufacturer and model number please! I find it hard to justify $80 from GM.

I hated paying that too but the 3A racing "Stainless" ones get thrashed by the road salt they use up here and the GM ones have been good

Sure, but very briefly.I have a friend that says I'm not happy, unless I'm not happy. I just get depressed when I look out the window and see my paint chipped, cheap tired,non radio working,stuck rear slider,14.2 gas mileage gettin fire hazard sitting in the drive way mocking me. I can't even get rid of it because my wonderful dealer lost all the paper work and I have no title or reg. for going on 3 months now. Sigh...

Inside diameter is 2.75 inches. Here's the GMC stainless tip installed on mine, not overjoyed about the big ugly clamp, got it facing forward and less visible.

I did the advanced auto route too. I actually had to cut off a few inches of my stock tailpipe so my tip didn't stick out too far. Looks good and it holding up quite well so far.

Did you buy the one we had linked earlier? I am asking because there has been some debate about what diameter to buy. What was the receiving diameter of the one you bought and how much play did it have? Thanks...

 

Pictures also pls.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.

      Not what I said but I can work with it anyway. Complete combustion produces CO2 and H20. When it's cold enough you can 'see' it as water vapor but it is always there and more so the better the tune up. It's physics, not an argument. In a cold motor when the cylinder jacket is below the condensation temperature the water goes to the pan and not the PCV system. Heating the oil moves it from liquid to vapor where it is removed by the PCV system. When and how much depends on temperatures. Of the air, the water and so on. It has little to with the humidity. Water is a combustion product.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!
