Before I had the level kit and bigger tires, the best I got was 22mpg.

Made my dog happy.

 

I had a '12 Avalanche before getting my '14 Silverado double cab.

The Av, of course, had a bit more room in the backseat with the seats folded forward than the Silverado does with the backseat folded up.

So I made a little platform for him (yes, he's pretty spoiled :sigh: ).

 

Started with on of these:

http://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-4-ft-Folding-Utility-Table-2448B-004/202599373

 

Modified by shortening two of the legs, removing the other two legs and some frame hardware.

Added some indoor/outdoor carpet and installed.
I also put the bottom half of a two-piece seat cover on the seat to help protect the leather.
The platform also comes in pretty handy for other things too; groceries, luggage, fly rods, etc.

Today I had the exhaust done with the series 50 flowmasters and dual outs on each side, window visors, and OEM Splash Guards.

Great exhaust system I'd like to get too but I'm guessing it's a little too pricy for me right now. + - @$1000?

My Exhaust system cost $ 129 for both dual tips (one for each side) and $300 for the flow master Series 50 and installation of all. The shop that did the work didn't have the tips.

Sounds very reasonable. So this converted it from single exhaust to dual? Not exactly right. Did it get rid of the flapper valve some people don't seem to like? (What that heck is the flapper for anyway? Keep the squirrels out -LOL)) Hope you get better performance HP and mileage too maybe.

Yes the 50 that was put in is a single in and dual out. The flapper and third cat is out.

That's awesome. I was surprised the other day, our two dogs bark and fight if we drive them in the '03 silverado. When riding in my '14 not a peep, I think they're mesmerized by the Mylink dispay hahaha.

I debagde my silverado and I'm badging it up with some transformer decepticon stuff. Decepticon DROPKICK who's a silverado on the video game. Also if I get a chance this Sunday I'm going to dip my ac vent surrounding white. The steering wheel trim too. I'll post some pics if the weather is good to do it.

    • I have A 2020 1500 5.3 8 speed. LTZ. Transmission problems since 60,000 miles. Started when I go to store in morning to get my morning coffee before work leave truck running get back in put it in drive/ rev no movement step on gas a little slams into gear. Put in neutral step on gas little shake then put in gear and gose.  Shut truck off start .. ok now at stop light stop truck after a few seconds feel a little kick if that doesn’t happen stuck in 3/4 gear shut truck off wait few seconds and start usually ok again. If you down shift manually ok as long as you get into 1st before stop. If not it kicks . I WANT A NEW TRANSMISSION. Now I want a new truck it just hit 80,000 IDK IF ILL BUY CHEVY CAUSE THEY STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO RECALL . Oh I’ve changed the fluid and filter 3 times now. And yes used mobile 1 not ac/delco cause it’s not meeting the requirements that mobile is did use ac/delco filter 
    • Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.     
    • I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion. 
    • While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
    • Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
