Just an update on the stock air box mod that I did. I completed a log today at various speeds from city, to WOT at about 110mph, and cruising at 70mph, to get a full look at the performance band. I sent it in today, I hope to hear something back by Wednesday or so. I will see what comes of it, and report back in for those who are interested...

It's just our shop, not really sure what else to say lol.

Is it a business or a private building? It appears to be either a vehicle restoration shop or an extremely large private workshop! Regardless, it certainly is a huge, clean open space!

It's just a larger personal work shop, we store some firewood in it but mostly just our cars and tractors

Cleaned the interior and replaced the rotten OE wipers,washed out Airaid Filter , cleaned the Intake Tube and Throttle Body. Oil changed and tires rotated, Silver Silverado is good to go for another 6000+ miles :flag:

Added aftermarket rear park assist since I found a color matched rear bumper with the holes for it. I have to use some 3/4" knockout bushings for electrical boxes and trim them down a bit as the sensors where too small to fit in the holes where the factory sensors are. I don't think it looks to bad really and from 3' away you wouldn't know they weren't factory unless you knew what you were looking at. I did hit the bushings with some plastidip and glossifier before installing them. What do you guys think.

Made some more progress. I got all the side pieces the same size and used a router to round over some sharp edges by the port. I have the cap cut out for the magnet, I just didn't take a pic. Started to glue and screw it together tonight.

So yesterday I was cursing threw the build page and found a build by waymon. Waymon wanted to fix the gas pedal lag and he found a trick on a post by this guy http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/167606-gas-pedal-flex-solution/

Today I had some time on my hands so I tried it and to my surprise it worked

Now when I push on my gas it goes right away!

I am looking at a Husky Underseat Bin, but they only come in black. Since I have a HC with the saddle interior I was wondering if you guys thought it would work to get it wrapped with a brownish color. Opinions please..............

yep but be $$$ might be easier to paint it with spray paint yourself. You could make it match your paint color

Yeah I thought about that too! What would be the easiest is if they made the damn things in the other color of interiors like DuHa does. But I don't like the looks of the DuHa! The Husky has the nicest Shape IMO!

    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
