Picked up my tips for the new exhaust. It's all coming together slowly.

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.

Probably bad fuel, have you tried putting any octane booster in?

I just put in 3/4 tank of 93 octane, as I have to with my tune. May just be water in fuel or bad fuel like you said

Throw in a bottle of octane boost and see if that helps. Worst case it may be diesel fuel you pumped so keep your gas reciept. My mom had that problem on her Cadillac one time. Turns out the knobs on the tanker for premium and diesel turn the same color or close. Chevron told my father that diesel being put in the 93 tank happens a few times a year. Doubt this happened but a friendly heads up.

Will do. Just waiting on the headers & autocal to come in and it's all getting thrown on.

 

Those look good. Are they powdercoated or did you buy them like that?

I went with a 5% brow, 5% driver and passenger window and 15% back seat and 3 back windows. On top of factory windows which come 70% front and 24% back it comes out to about 3.5 % (.7x.05=.035 and .24x.15=.036) on everything except the windshield. My last vehicle was a tahoe with 5% all around and the back was too dark on top of factory tint. Before that I had a Benz with 5 % all around so I'm used to dark vehicles. I had a 14 with 15% on the front windows (not windshield) and 35% over the back five windows and it wasn't close to dark enough, could still see in easily. I want my tint dark enough that you can't see inside, even in the daytime but as I hunt and travel country roads in the dark I still need to be able to see out sometimes. I think this was the perfect blend of privacy, protection and still being able to see well even at night. I'm not sure of your state laws so you might consider them but around here they don't really care too much about tint. In the last 10+ years of driving around the nation living in NY, TX, CA, FL, OK and AR I've only been pulled over once for tint.

Just did 70% on the windshield, 45% on the front and 5% on the sunroof. Nice smooth color throughout the truck. Not trying to get pulled over. Plus I'm getting older and it's harder to see out the darker stuff at night. Lol

bought them like that, but they are powdercoated - I think most other coverings like paint are eventually going to peel from the heat...

Just curious to see if mine are going to last. Mine were originally chrome, sand blasted then powdered gloss black.

Dude I've experienced exactly what you're describing. I had my lift adjusted and rented a new GMC Sierra with like 2k miles on it from the local dealer (I said rented but it was free) and that thing was shaking like a whore in church. I dunno what the hell thats about

Decided id finally go ahead and order a K&N washable cabin air filter since the local AutoZone didn't have a non-washable one in stock.

 

Also, AC decided it didn't want to blow cold anymore. Has anyone else experience this? Only 38K miles on it

I just bought a K&N air filter and cabin air filter for my VW Passat TDI. Autoanthing had them for 22% off plus free shipping so it was a solid deal.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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
