First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Let us know your thoughts after programming. Any noticeable gains? How loud is the intake? My last truck the CAI was so loud, I had to put exhaust on it.

Flashed yesterday. It feels snappy, but honestly not sure if I can tell a difference, it's probably just placebo effect...

 

I don't notice any additional noise from the intake, just the exhaust, and it's perfect. Nice cold start rumble, growls when you accelerate hard, but nearly silent at cruise.

I just installed those on my LTZ too. I wanted the ionic 51 but they were out of stock. I’m glad I went with the 41s. They look really good with the LTZ chrome theme.

Do they sit tight to the frame, I want something that doesn't hang to far down or out more then they need to.

They can be adjusted on how much you want them tucked under the door. I currently have the driver side tucked a little more than the passenger side. I’m still trying to decide which way I like better. They can also be adjusted front and back. There is basically no gap between the truck and the running boards. They actually have a little black lip on the inside of each board to make it look even more flush looking and hide any left over gap. Also the edge shape of the chrome on the running boards matches the Silverado door handle contours almost perfectly. I’m extremely pleased how the chrome ones look on the LTZ.

Thanks, just got mine Friday and I prefer the look of the truck without the steps but don't think the wife is going to like it. Currently the truck has the factory chrome steps installed by the dealer. Part of my deal is for them to take the steps and the crappy plastic bed liner off and have line-x done.

Nice!

 

Now just watch that rear window for leaks. Because it's not a matter of IF, but when.

Yea, I liked it without the steps too. But the ionic steps are pretty sharp. They surprised

me. I would’ve went with the amp steps but they don’t tuck under the truck very good on this current generation. They stand out too much on a chrome themed white truck. Those factory chrome steps don’t look nearly as good as the ionic steps.

? I know. Believe me, I'm a positive person. 

 

But spend some time on this thread, and you'll see this is a very real, growing issue: 

Just watch for it after these Texas downpours we've been having. You'll be happy to catch it sooner vs. later, as I did. My headliner was never stained, etc. so the damage has been minimal... because I was watching for it and caught it when it started. ??

      I never understood the hate for the column shifter. The console shifter just gets in the way, takes up prime cargo space and in my wife's Jeep, the dog constantly bumps the console shifter into neutral!    Best choice ever to just make it a column shifter across the lineup and be done with it.    (Bonus: Makes swapping from a 5 seater to a six seater far easier)

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

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      OCI, not when but why?

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.
