Right now my truck has an airaid intake kit. I'm thinking of getting kooks headers and y pipe with or without cats (undecided). Now I know with that I would need to tune so my question is what company do you guys recommend that will also tune the trans. And what kind of power increase and mpg Change are we talking about.

 

Thanks guys

I emailed them. Thanks. Once they get back to me I'll put in the order.

Now the question is weather to just tune or kooks LT headers and tune with cat-less y pipe.

What do you guys think.

I'm probably going to do headers if I bother to do anything more to mine. I am leaning more towards the arh set myself I think. I normally would go stainless works but this time they don't have a factory connection from the y pipe to the exhaust so no. No cats for me because we'll up here there is no emissions laws lol. I am thinking of getting Mike @ New Era to tune mine... they have lots of good reviews where Blackbear isn't the board sponsor lol.

BlackBear and Diablew are the two remote tuners talked about the most on here and on a few other forums. They both do very good work. I have ridden in vehicles done by both.

 

That being said, Mike at New Era Performance is one of the best GenV engine tuners in the world. I have not done business with him personally but many friends have. He is located in Rochester NY. He can tune in person or remote tune, whichever you would prefer.Also if you decide at a later date to go more extreme with the truck, you will have a working relationship.

 

Considering his proximity and his knowledge, I would call him up.

headers, y pipe, and magnaflow exhuast are installed. quality is amazing on all parts. very impressed.

i did some logging with the flashscan v2 from efilive and sent the log files to blackbear.

does anyone who has dealt with blackbear know there usual turn around time on tunes? i dont want to seem like im rushing but i drive my truck daily and know its probably not running ideally anymore with all the new parts.

 

ill try and take some picture and maybe a sound clip of the exhaust tomorrow

Private message Jennabear on this site. She is Justins wife at BlackBear. IDK about the data logging route but I had the in person tune and love it. Will BBP give you 50 more hp? No, but you will love the TCM tune. I have put more miles on my truck in the last month after the tune than I did the previous 6 months. No joke, my truck is finally a joy to drive.

Did you install the headers or did you have a shop do it? I looked on these trucks and it looks pretty easy just the LS trucks are to work on. I didn't install the headers on the 6.2 in my F150.... yikes what a nightmare those things are to work on lol.

Cool. I know the catback took me less than an hour to r and r even with straightening some hangers and whatnot. Took longer getting the stock one off than install of the new.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
