Just an fyi, shop Chevy parts has the gm/ Borla systems for sale for $999. They're only listed in the Chevy section but both trucks use the same part # so it doesn't matter. I just ordered one. Does anyone have any pics of the tips you buy separately? Do they say Borla on them? Again the tips for the system are only in the Chevy section and I don't want something with a bow tie showing up for my GMC.

They say Borla on them. Here's the chrome, side exit version...post-106333-0-24515200-1454215154_thumb.jpeg

Thanks for the pic chuck, looks good. I'm trying to decide which (chrome or black chrome) to order for mine. How far back does the exhaust land without tips?

They are listed for the GMCs too. Shop Chevy parts has great prices but their shipping prices border complete disrespect for the customers.

 

I was looking at a trailer hitch cover. Regular $25, they have it for $17 somethinf, and the shippoing.. $38 to VA. $38 for a piece of rubber.

 

Anything they have you can find on Amazon for a couple bucks more and free prime shipping.

 

Or as someone mentioned before, just get a local dealer to matcheck the price.

The shipping was $70 so it will be here cheaper than I saw it listed anywhere else, local dealership never answered my email, and it would cost me $70 to drive round trip to where I bought my truck but I get your point. If any other avenue would've been cheaper/ more convenient I would have gone for it.

You will need some sort of tip as the pipes are too short without them. I have the black tips and the rear exit on my truck. You are getting a good price shipped. I got mine on line with a GM dealer, but the shipping was free and the price was a little higher I believe.

The bow-tie comes on the non-Borla exhaust.

I'm going to see what I think when it's installed, I'm not that into tips so we'll see. Thinking about maybe going with a 3" or 3.5" resonator tip of I decide I need them.

I went and picked up some tips today, they're just clamped on for now until I decide on final fit but for now I like this. They're tucked back far enough that if I put a rock in them off road they won't crush into my bed and damage it. Took a lot of thought to decide between black powder coat and chrome.

Anyone with the Borla feels that it contributes to a bit of vibration inside the cab when cruising at highway 75+ speeds.

 

I almost feel that when I take my foot off the gas, the ride smooths out more.

 

I have a CC 5.3

 

Maybe it's just me.

If you haven't already, look and see it any part of the exhaust is touching the belly. I don't have this issue on my truck...not yet anyways ;)

Nope. Mine rides nice at highways speeds.

      AFM Experience

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
