Ok, I have looked for quite some time and have failed to come up with any company that makes long tube headers for my 2017 2500hd 6.0l. Can any one of you lead me in the direction of this product? I was really hoping that Kook made them, but only for the 1500.

Throw a cam in there too. It'll sound killer.

I can't believe these headers are so hard to find. I was hoping one of you experts would have answered me right away...….

Because the ecms in these trucks are complete garbage to tune and very few buyers get a gas HD to modify it lol.  Companies don't make parts there is zero market for.  

 

Yes I commented in the header thread linked and I have a set of speed engineering long tubes I bought along with a cam to do in my 17.  I won't with as much of a pain as the ecm is though so they can be reused elsewhere.

 

2011 to 2019 is all the same parts.

SierraHD17, I understand that you do not like this ECM and have issues with tuning, but as I have posted in my Whipple SC post, my truck is running so good after my tuner did his magic, that I would like to go with long tubes to add to my low end. I pull a 14K 5th wheel and the more torque I can make the better. You mentioned that you have speed engineering long tubes for your '17, but would they actually fit without modification? 

Trust me, I never knock anyone's opinion, but my truck just runs awesome.

No idea. Not putting them on so buy a set and let everyone else know.  If you aren't tuning it yourself you won't know one way or another.  My truck runs and shifts awesome too.. it still has issues but you wouldn't know unless you starting playing with the tune.

Hey SierraHD17, you actually have long tube headers that fit a 2017 Silverado 2500hd 6.0l? I looked at Speed Engineering and was not able to see anything close.

There is your answer Randy.  You won't get any replies on Peformancetrucks as it's a dead forum and nobody mods these trucks for good reason.  There is 2 threads about guys with headers, blowers and cams over there on 2011+ HD gas pots.  The headers they used were the 2007 to 2013 half ton long tubes which is what I bought.  But guess what..... I'm just going to get a 2010 to 2013 6.2 half ton and mod that a little instead.  Both those HD trucks ended up going back to stock and getting sold.  Fun stuff.

The E78 is far from garbage as BiggerDogg has proven.  It’s unlike any previous GM ECM.  More like a Ford or a foreign.

 

it is absolutely the tuners who are at fault.  Take it to a GM ECM guy and it’s an automatic failure.  Take it to a real tuner and you are ok.  I now know the difference between actual tuners and Guys who only tune GM and aren’t really that good either.

I will not let others deter me from my success.  When others said it couldn’t be done, I showed up and built it on time and under budget.

 

biggerdogg has already proven you wrong and I will be right there with him backing him up.  My truck arrives soon.  It’s ok you go be a follower, a sheep.  Go mod your 6.2.  Us leaders, us Eagles will handle the 6.0L gas task.

 

FYI, I’m going for a thousand horse and a thousand torque at motor.  800/800 real wheel or plus.  I will not stop until it is achieved.

 

then once that is done we start playing with nitrous.  Just.because I want to.

Well you can't always get what you want. You'll learn that eventually.  Till then keep wasting your money and time.

Why are you concerned how I choose to spend my time and money anyway?

 

I’m sure a lot of the public sees lift kits and big tires as a waste of money.  I think $2,000 Christian Louboutins are a waste of money but you don’t see me on a fashion forum posting.

 

Its all good I spent $7,000 on a Whipple today and $2,000 on a lift kit.  Wasted.  Oh well.  How will I ever eat again.

This is the best response to attempted beef thread Ive seen in a while.  You go for yours man.  You earned the money and you get to leave it lay in 2 big, black, stinky patches laid on your nearest municipal roadway.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
