Washed it the other day.

 

Sometimes I think about changing the wheel/tire setup and lowering the stance but pics like this change my mind haha! 772495a0d60dc2439cb115fb9846f15e.jpg

What a bunch of weenies at your local UPS. Lol

 

Freedommunitions seems to have the best price so far. The switch is priority though. I have all your R&D into the harnesses and love my signals. I need my power folding switch and a diode to complete this project. Now I just need to make it to RadioShack.

 

Thanks again!!!

I signed up for freedom's mailing list, now I just wait for those email deals and it's on! Best prices I've found as well.

Well damn. That looks nice haha. It looks a little funky with the 33's. if I lower I don't know if I will keep same wheels and go with different tire or switch wheels to maybe some 22's. The current wheels are 20's.

Thats sounds amazing.

 

What is the model number of this muffler? was it an easy install? (Cut and weld, or were bends required?)

 

I have the 5.3 and i have had a hard time deciding muffler vs. delete.

 

Thanks! I dont have the model #, but I can call the shop and get it if you want it, it is a 14". It is a weld, and all I did was the muffler and removal of the resonator. Best $200 I have ever spent!

 

FYI - that is on a cold start (35 degrees), when the truck warms up it gets quiter. I love it because you can hear it without it being obnoxiously loud.

Did you remove flapper? Or just muffler replace and resonator..

They told me just muffler and resonator.

They told me just muffler and resonator.

If they removed the muffler, I would almost bet that they removed the flapper too since they are so close to one another.

Autocal came in today. Scanned my files and data log, now just waiting on the new tune.

You are gonna' think you have a different truck after your tune. The TCM tune is worth the price alone. Be shure and have your idle RPM raised 100/150 for a little better throttle response. It really help mine plus it sounds better to me.

What wheels are these and where did you get them?

Thanks,

Eddie

    • 100% agree, there are a lot of variables. I definitely do not drive I’ve like a grandpa but also don’t drive like I stole it. Truck is currently in the shop so I’ll have to get weight later. The price for driving it doesn’t bother me. My precious was a 6.2l so the cost between the two is a wash. 
    • if you want a short turning radius get a short bed Colorado!
    • that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.    
    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
