Finally done. Ignore the dirty truck though. Next step is to run all the wiring.

Your box came out looking great! What are you planning on running for your amp/headunit setup?

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.

I built it myself. Should be around 1.1 - 1.3CF. I have some progress pics back a few pages over the last week or so.

I just have a smaller P3001 RF amp and a LC2i that I will wire in. I'm just using the stock radio with a quality line out converter. 300w RMS at 2 ohms should be plenty. I didn't want anything crazy loud, and the Kicker system is only 200w @ that 1k price tag.......

 

All the prefab boxes are small and are like .7cf. I wanted something that will sound a lot better than my last set up. 2 12's in an underseat box, but it was smaller and sealed.

Changed the cabin air filter out '14, still the Factory one that was in it, 44k on her. 5c7c90857b71b2f139a1fe0bda846477.jpg

 

Also gave her a bath.

Finally got my Cognitos and Kings put on the front end - I'm been in the process of moving interstate so my tools are finally all in the same place and I could get this done.

Apologies for the lack of a full truck finished pic - I had to finish up the passenger side in the dark.

 

The driver's side took several hours, primarily because I couldn't get the spindle to bust loose with the tried and true hammer technique (I beat the hell out of it for 45 min) so I had to run out and get a pickle fork. And it took me beating the piss out of the pickle fork, demolishing the grease boot, and jacking the LCA up and down several times to get it to bust loose!! I've never had one this difficult, and the truck only has 10k on it so it should be relatively un-seized. The passenger side was only marginally better - maybe it's something to do with the cast steel UCAs?

 

The passenger side was done in about 90 minutes, including having to drag out lights and move them around constantly.

 

Now to do the rears and put some new shoes on her.

 

Added note: for anyone who is putting Cognitos on themselves, watch out for the logo plate when installing the strut - it's a sharp unfinished edge and can easily slice the hell out of you [emoji51]

The wheels are working fine right now, but I'm planning on replacing them with 18's when I get new tires. You can easily tell why folks have issues running wider tires on the stock wheels - check this super crappy picture. And it's not even at absolute full lock, only where the wheel will stay by itself - it was dark, I was greasy, and I didn't have a strap readily available to keep the wheel cranked.

The rings have tabs on the back that they can be just push and they'll come off really easy.. the hardest was the 2 big rings, the bottom tabs are really close to the clear plastic curvature. I did push clear plastic a bit to take the tabs without breaking them. Def take your time to do it.

How do you get the clear plastic out? Lol do i have to pull the whole trim....

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
