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. 

 

All I know is that a local shop says they generally see 30rwhp before tuning with kooks 1 7/8/catted y on a 6.2. Look up tdotperformance. Mine came straight from kooks, free shipping, wait for a sale. Install and tune will cost you though.

 

Haven't installed mine yet. I'm sure tuning would make the truck run better, but not in GM's opinion... Can BlackBear still hide the tune with headers? Not looking to cheat the system, but I'm worried about parts that already destined to fail. Seems to be a lot of problems this generation.

I put a set in my cart on TDOT last night TBH to see if the dollar has improved. $2,700 after tax. Ouch. I love the idea of LT's, but rather than dumping money into performance on my 6.2L I should just buy a Corvette. That is 13% of a used C6Z06 right there.

Fixed for you.

Yeah a vette would be great if that's what you want. Personally I like trucks. But If I had the money, hell yeah I'd get a vette. Just need a garage first so I have somewhere to store it for 8 months of the year. The exchange rate sucks. But if you wait for a sale that's the best price you'll most likely get.

My bad, 6.7% lol. You can find a nice low mile 06 for $38k CAD here, about $29.5K USD. Passed up a local 2002 C5Z last year for $28CAD. Nice car, but the LS7/C6 owns my heart.

 

Anyone know of any middle-of-the-road LT's for these trucks? Not as much $ as Kooks, but not cheap like Pacesetter?

I have speed engineering headers, and are actually pretty good, well constructed and good fitment:

I've got TSP headers with their catted Y pipe. No codes, all O2 sensors still in place. I needed 12 inch and another 24 inch minimum extension wires. The driver side downstream sensor is moved over quite a bit. 

Do yourself a favor and get a couple of little studs to screw into the head, hang the exhaust gasket and get the headers started. Made it so much easier to install, for an old guy.

Just ordered a set of Doug Thorley Long Tube Tri-Y headers. Already have the diablo trinity, CAI and super 10 muffler so once the headers come I’ll have it custom tuned.

Friday I got the kooks headers with catted y pipe on my 2015 with a tvs1900, running the magnuson tune.  No codes, I was surprised. I know the tune doesn’t have the bank 2 sensors turned off, I pulled it in hptuners and double checked.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
