I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

My truck arrived Anchorage today, being delivered this afternoon. In preparation of use, stopped and purchased a set of studded ice/snow tires. Will have'm installed on sat. Won't get much use from them this year but a couple months, but will dismount and revert back to My A/T's for spring/summer then back on next season. Researching wheel options now for a 2nd set of 20" rims.

Nice. I'm debating also on removing the 3rd cat as well. If it's even a cat? No sensors are on it so it may be some sort of resonator.. I have a Corsa sport cat back waiting for me at my local dyno shop. My appointment is on the 13th so we'll see what actual gains I'll get with it. They also guarantee no drone with the straight thru design of the muffler. We'll see.... I'm sure with the Airaid intake I have and the exhaust there will be noticeable power gains. I'm still debating on a custom tune.. I have the opportunity to have one installed and dyno tuned but I'm a lil worried about the warranty going out the window. Thanks for the response are you gonna add some polished tips? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

 

No tips. I had them put on my '07 as an after thought and wasn't really that high on them. After a wash I get my Purple Slice out, slide under the truck and do the part of the tailpipes that can been seen so they alway look brand new anyway. These pics are of the '07 after 6½ years.

 

 

 

 

What shop did ur tailpipes like that? I really like the exit style. And am now considering getting some purple slice. Never heard of it before but after seeing ur results after 6.5 years I know it must be a very nice product

A local shop here in Broken Arrow, OK called Ralson's Muffler Shop. The kid that owns it is a wizard at pipe bending.

Installed my Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite cover and weathertechs today! Also touched up some rock chips on the front end with some Dr. ColorChip in preparation for a clear bra to be installed.

I'm not usually one to care about emblems much, so I feel a bit silly about this. But my Denali, even though it came with the Z71 package, had no emblems so its fenders looked sort of naked. What's worth bragging about even more than the Z71? The 6.2 of course....

I think the font matches the stock Denali font closely enough most will probably assume it's a factory emblem, which was the intention.

emblem pros are the best out there. Roger and the crew did a ton of stuff for me on my camaro and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for high quality stainless trim and emblem pieces.

I really dont think there are anyone better when you put in service, quality, and pricing.

Now there's no secret when you pull up to a set of lights! I like them for sure, wonder if they ship to Canada

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

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
