Put in a completely new exhaust, all from speed engineering.

Long tube headers
ARP stainless header bolts
X-Pipe, No Cats
3” True Duals
Straight through dual “mufflers”
Axle dump
New plugs (ACDelco)
New wires with fiberglass boots

The truck sounds like an absolute beast with this set-up. I’m adding dual Borla Pro XS mufflers to quiet things down a little.

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 know, I know. Lol! I’m working on it. Gonna use a a Rode microphone to see if I can get a better representation of the sound rather than the typical smartphone clips you see. If I can get the iPhone to capture what it truly sounds like I’ll post it up today. I love it! It sounds so sick! But, as a daily driver with a young kid, it’s too much. Normal acceleration when the light turns green, just to keep up with other drivers, sounds like I’m making a run down the drag strip.

Not today, but not long ago, added some chrome (and red) accents, probably a few more coming for the interior:

Slow Friday so covered the mirror caps with vinyl.

That looks sharp, very factory looking. I take it you did it inside, where it was warm.

Thanks for the feedback.  I didn't bother pulling it into the garage to remove the caps which ended up being a mistake as i broke one of the clips.  In a bit of a cold snap and it was -21°c, the caps had a sheet of ice on them that I had to throw them in the sink of warm water to melt it all off.  There is no way you could of wrapped them outside the vinyl would be way to brittle and would just end up ripping.

 

Thinking I may do the B- pillars next just to get some more carbon on the outside.  Also considering doing the side plates on my sports bar.

A man from my own heart, lets impatience steer the boat to get stuff done, not even sure how cold -21C is, but it did not stop you. I am not sure about the pillars, seems like a bit much, maybe put it on loose at first just to get a feel for how it would look?

About minus 6 Fahrenheit but still too dang cold ?...if I didn’t have my window visors I’d probably give it a shot!

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
