Hey guys I'm sure this has been talked about before, but all the forums I'm seeing are pretty old, so maybe there's some new info out there. just lifted my 2014 Silverado 1500 2wd 5" on 35s last week. Has 5.3, intake, programmer and exhaust with 3.42 gears. Didn't really notice much power loss. But my avg mileage already dropped from 14 to 11 .. Was looking into re gearing.. I tow a little on vacations but not much weight tho. What ratio do you guys think with my set up? A lot of guys seem to recommend 4.10s.. Will re gearing really help the mpgs? What's the usual price range?

I did (and HIGHLY recommend) the following:

 

Yukon Master Overhaul 3.42 to 4.11 swap, Auburn 30 Spline Limited Slip, MAG-HYTEC diff cover, and 4 quarts of Synthetic SAE 75W-140 all together was $1625 plus tax for the parts/lube.

 

Typical labor costs are around $400-$500 around here.

 

So far I've gotten about 16-17 MPG with mostly city driving with 35s (34.5" KO2s) but I also have a sweet tune from Diablew so I'm running 91 Octane.

Thanks for the info guys! Just got off the phone with my local shop, and the 14's went to a bigger rear end. So the lowest gearing actually available are 410s .. Quoted $950-1000 for parts and labor

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
