Polished the pipes a little today. Definitely need a buffing wheel to get the better

You must be out of the rust belt. In NY the road salt would kill that shine in 3 days flat.

Actually in Northern NJ 10min. From NYC. So the road salt is going to kill it. Just have to keep up with it. Can't wait for a good rain to get rid of it all!! Hopefully we have seen the last of the snow/ice for the season.

Just got a little video from outside the truck. Louder then I thought it was. Love it.

 

That's sounds really good. How about a video inside then cruising on Highway? I keep going back and forth about this exhaust as I want it close to stock noise when cruising on hwy.

It is from Borla not GM. The dealer quoted me close to $1500 for it when I was getting the truck. AutoAnything had a $100 off and $40 2 day shipping so total came out to $949. After being impatient had exhaust shop do it for $175 so I saved around $400.

I think it sounds louder then the video shows, but it could just be me listening for it.

 

 

Thanks for the video. Is the v4 annoying? On the fence about getting the GM version for the flapper.

The V4 can be annoying at low speed and low highway speed on a slight incline. A little step on the throttle quiets it down.

If I were to do it again I think I would go the same route. I like the split side exit and GM didn't offer that.

 

It is definitely louder then stock!! My kids told me it sounds like a race car! I'm beginning to think that they sent me the S-type instead of touring! ?

You know it's funny you said that because I was thinking to myself yours sounds so much louder than all the other touring videos I've listened to. Get the Range AFM to disable v4. I have one it works great so far.

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By dieselfan1 · Posted

      2026 3500HD.  Mostly empty. Grocery getter. What tire pressure are you running for 37x12.50x20. I have 37x12.50R20 Toyo Open  Country RT pro and been running around 55 lbs front and rear and it's too much. Tires are wearing more in the middle. Toyo says 45 front and 50 rear. Chalk test and it's still too much. I lowered it to 40 front 44 rear see what happens.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By chris21 · Posted

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
