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.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
