Great minds think alike. I’ve got a TVS 1900 on order :-)

I can't wait;

 

 LT4 high pressure fuel pump,

LT4 high flow Injectors

2.35" pulley

E85 conversion kit

Nick Williams 103MM Throttle Body

Circle D 2700 Torque Converter. 

Texas Speed Performance Heads

DOD delete kit with Morel Lifters

Comp Camps Rocker arms

If you’re able to eliminate DOD/AFM and get some cats you will stop the smell and get a  immensely consistent sound. 

Oh i had the AFM taken off when i got the Tune done the first time lol that shit was miserable even with regular exhaust work done before the headers. I'm just going to add the cats back for few reasons. If it quiets it down more as well, so be it. But i may change exhaust setup if its to quiet. I talked with a guy at TSP and will have the high flow cats ordered soon.

You know anybody who runs the TSP catted y? I’d like to stick with TSP since I’m running the heads, but I haven’t looked into other brands of cats yet to see prices. TSP wants like $350 or so.

Not personally. I ordered mine from Summit. Had to have some fab work. Only cost me $100 something per cat and about $150 worth of piping a labor from a local muffler shop.

Hmmm guess it comes out around the same then. I’ll just order the catted Y that TSP has on their site and just have my tuner or exhaust shop install it.

Does your state require annual emissions testing? OBD/Two speed Idle etc?

Different parts do, but where I live we don’t have to do emissions. But it’s just a preference to put the catted Y on.

I’m running the TSP headers with catted Y. You definitely still get some fumes if the truck is started in a garage or you have your windows down and sitting still. I can’t say if it’s any better then not having cats. I do believe it brings the noise level down.

 

I’ve ran several muffler set ups trying to find the sound I’m looking for. Currently running a single 3” back into a Dynomax ultraflow round muffler (pn 17267) followed by Borla Atak crate muffler (pn 400844). I think it’s perfect. A little loud on cold starts and above 3000 rpm but relatively tame otherwise. The perfect amount of rasp and deep tone. The Borla by itself was obnoxiously loud and had some farm truck cackle when it was cold. The extra muffler took care of that and cleaned up some of the harsher tones. You might try running another muffler or resonator in front of your Magnaflow if you’re not happy with the sound.

    • Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/        
    • UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update  
    • GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.  
    • Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.
    • I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
