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.

 

I usually leave the jobsite sideways in first gear with the overrun clutches locked (shift selector in first for you amateurs).  My front tires look almost new (replaced recently) and the backs are already worn half down.  Time to rotate and make them even next month!

I left work in first gear the other day with the 4L60E at 5500 RPM.  The ground was a little wet so I held it sideways down the whole block.  My employee pulls up next to me at the light and says "I saw that!"  So I do it again, brakestanding while chatting with him.  He says I'm a professional driver on an open course.

 

When the lawman pulls me over, I respectfully pull to the right, roll down my tinted windows, shut off my vehicle and sit with my hands on the steering wheel so they feel comfortable.  When they ask if I know why they pulled me over, I usually know which law I broke and how bad, so I'm quite honest and willing to pay my fines for my actions.  Quite often the officer says "Have a nice day, slow down."  I would say more than 50% of the time I have been let go, and this includes exhibition of speed.  Respecting an officers job goes a long way.  Do you think they want to be doing that exact job?  Maybe not but maybe they want a nice neighborhood for themselves and others.

 

I was speaking with my neighbor down the block and it turns out hes a police officer (he has cars we were talking GM).  I was walking my dog and I see the CHP stopped at a house.  That's odd I thought.  Turns out its the CHP guys house.  I'm walking my dog again the other day at 10PM and my neighbor a few doors down is coming out his side gate (I thought trash).  Turns out hes a homicide major crimes detective he was leaving his house going to work a late shift.  Fully uniformed police officer uses side gate to be sneaky and jump in vehicle quickly.  I'm introducing myself to other neighbor and I notice something odd that only other law enforcement pay attention to (my brother is LEO).  I mention it and he says "yup I'm LAPD civilian".  He works for the police just not in the field.  None of these people know each other either.

 

I can tell you where I WONT be doing smokey burnouts.  My neighborhood.  LOL.

Now that's good stuff right there.  You are living in a safe zone.  Funny thing about the "let go" part.  I get the same.  I think white guys in pickups are basically ghosts to LE.  Obviously, if you are seriously effing around, you're gonna get nabbed.  Ive been driving a pickup my whole life and pulled over a lot over 25 years.  When in a pickup, I've never gotten a ticket.  I've had cops not even ask for my insurance and not even go back to their cars.   The CPL helps too.  But the sad part is that I think me being white is a HUGE part of that.  Here you have black people getting shot in their cars for nothing wheras I'm speeding a little and tell officers off the bat that there is a piece in the glovebox and I walk without a ticket. I dont mean to open a can of worms, but it's hard to rectify.  The pickup is a big part.  The assumption of a working class average Joe.  But it helps when that Joe is white.  And that ain't right in my book.

So I appreciate your guys' input.  But I seriously am tempted to leave it stock.  It is ALMOST the right tone.  Id be happier with a little more grumble tone but I will not be happy with drone.  Any muffler seems like it would flow better because it wouldnt have the stupid hinged valve thing.  I cant even imagine what that's for. Increased EGT would be my guess.  There has to be a muffler out there that works, but I feel like I need to hear it on an L96 or at least an older 6 liter.

i believe all headers have been pulled off the market past year or two... it's probably more fed EPA mandates.  in the future the headers will most likey come with cats welded on them and probably cost 2-3X as much as old stock headers

Wtf are you talking about lol?

 

I believe that since the 2500 group is a tiny market they don't really make them. I think you may be able to use 1500 headers but I really am not sure.

i'm talking about header manufacters in general , the new stuff coming  has a catalytic converter on them. atleast when i was looking

 

1500 trucks are hard to find headers in 1 3/4 for some reason when i was looking for a set 4-6 months ago . price went up like crazy too .  I am located in a kommunist state so that might have been the issue i was running into. i called around and no one was shipping to my location

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
