I have a 17 6.2 and am looking for headers that won't throw codes. I see a lot of people with arh and tsp headers but nothing much about codes. Thanks

Believe that installing Long Tubes will indeed cause a check engine code regardless of the brand used.  Most folks have a tune done as well.

Have had a Diablo tune on for last 75,000km.. not a problem. Truck preforms flawless.

Did you use the diablo tune to eliminate the code from the headers

No headers yet, sorry.

I’m still up in the air about the twin turbo build so haven’t added any.

You can get a guy that goes by Diab-Lew, he can unlock the diablo tuners and write you a custom tune through the programmer to delete the header code. You can get a discount on the tune if you buy the programmer through him off his website. He does good work from what I hear and that is who I will go with if I ever decided to blow $2,500 on a set of kooks and a catted y pipe. Wish there were some solid options around $1,500 for these trucks. It's like I can only find cheapo junk like that will burn out in one year, or a stupidly expensive set that makes the mod unreasonable. http://www.diablewtune.com/

I have Speed Engineering Headers with a Custom Diablo Tune.

 

By removing the cats, it will throw codes, but its fine I you can bare having your CEL on all the time

 

A tune in this trucks works really good and there are a lot of choices out there, from can tunes to fully custom ones

 

This is my exhaust Set Up:

Kooks offers a "green cat" option which utilizes EPA certified cats, or so they claim.  The majority of people that are using those cats are able to install without any codes without any tuning.  They are NOT California legal though.

What problems are you referring to?  I'd like to know so that if there are issues that I need to address or address with my employees, I can.  It looks like we had a bit of back and forth by email back in March of last year about getting a tune, but nothing since then.

Every single person I have talked to that has bought the green cats said it through a code anyway on these trucks. I would just buy the regular catted Y and get the truck tuned by someone that knows what they are doing. But even that I still find the price on Kooks a little high to be paying for pick up headers. I would pay that for a Corvette, but about $3,000CAD after tax for headers and a y pipe in Canada, for 10-15hp? Meh.

Strange that we've seen so many that haven't had issues.  Either way, I agree that the cost is quite high for what you get.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      New tires are on, Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT's in 235/75/15. $100 per tire, after $10 AAA discount. Plus install ($100), disposal fees, and taxes.   The new tires ride nice. Catch 22, new tires, I love it again! But I feel like I've been through the wringer with this rig, and maybe I don't need this kind of headache right now. Wait until tomorrow, I'll probably love it again and keep it another week.   Never a dull moment: Got a CEL driving to the tire shop, P0172 bank 1 too rich. Oh lordy, really? I've been enjoying an emoji-free dash for too long, apparently. I popped the hood at the shop and I think there was a vacuum leak very close to the intake. Cleared the code and put a bunch of miles on it going home, code never returned. My fix was zip-tying the line on the vacuum reserve ball because the hose won't stay seated. It's either that or the fuel pressure regulator has an issue again or an injector is leaking. See why I'm getting tired of this one?!   In the gas price thread I recorded 19mpg on the last tank in fairly mixed driving and some higher-speed highway (70). I also don't have the lower engine shield installed right now, and that would help with diverting a lot of wind underneath the truck.   Not too long ago, a green '96 4-door 4x4 came up for sale with less than 1,000 actual miles. There was a story there but it was real, and the place wanted like $25k for it. Would be fun to have a NICE example of one of these, but not too nice. The joy is driving them.   That's it for a while...family and social stuff all weekend, no time to play with my Hot Wheels in the garage for the next couple of days.

      $5.19 after Kroger discount for 87 today. Moses!   Somehow I've already put 560 miles on the Blazer with the last tank clocking 19mpg.

      Oil dipstick

      By Stu Katz · Posted

      I have a 91 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 liter. My dipstick broke. Can someone tell me how long is the oil dipstick. Local Part stores do not stock the oil dipstick. If someone can tell me the length. I can match up an aftermarket one. Thank you.
