Yes, If you drop the spare tire. Mine came out in one piece.

I think its possible to even w/o removing the spare, if you're on a lift, it may be easier.

You will have a lot more room if the rear axel is hanging down (Wheels not on the ground)

Yes this is possible at least for a crew cab short bed.  As NHUSA mentioned if you can get the right rear wheel off of the ground then you can get it out.  I did this alone and without removing the spare and it wasnt too bad.  A helper and removal of the spare would have saved me a good bit of time and effort of going back to front to make adjustments.

I did it on a lift and still needed to drop the spare to have room to come out the back on my 2018 crew cab 6.2.

Yes. I did mine by jacking passenger side up so the rear wheel is just on the ground. Drop the spare and get it out of there (check the psi in the spare when it is off). The trick is you have to move the exhaust to the rear, and you will get it to a point where the muffler is just before (or after cant remember) the axle, you need to rotate the entire exhaust system (don't remember which way try both). Then you can slide it out the back. I had my neighbor hold the end of the tail pipe when I was sliding it back to keep it from hitting the truck paint but you can do it yourself.

Excellent. Thanks for the feedback guys. So it's much easier to put the frame on jackstands so the rear axle is at full droop?
I only did the passenger rear corner. I out the jack on the frame about where the muffler is as far back as I could go before the frame starts to curve up. Then put a few jack stands extra safety.
Others may have done it differently but that's how I did it.

Anyone looking to sell there stock exhaust take off? My exhaust shop butchered mine and i'm now looking to trade my truck in for a car as I've sold my boat and race car so the Sierra needs to go. Maybe i'm blind but i'm struggling to find a used classified page on here. Trying to limit creating a new thread and getting stoned to death for doing so. 

 

Just looking from the converter back in one piece. So just the exhaust pipe and mufflers if possible.

Did you check your local Craigslist? Seems like every time I look on mine someone has a factory exhaust for $150.

Yeah i see few on my local CL for 150 range. 

Why not just trade it in as is, they want the stock muffler back on?

I just removed a exhaust for the second time  in a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 from the Cat on and its hard but doable, this one was a 2010 and for the second time I remember removing the spare tire ahead of time would have saved me a hour of work.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
