Since I am disappointed that Chevy isn't offering the red hot color in the LTZ this year and the RST cannot be ordered with the 6.2L engine...

 

I am very close to ordering an RST in Red Hot with the 5.3L and the Max Tow package.

 

Does anyone know of a shop working on a supercharger kit for the 2019 5.3L yet?  Roush has a supercharger for the 2019 Ford V8 that takes it to 600hp.

 

I'd be happy with 500 out of a supercharged 5.3 if I can get it.

 

Anyone hear any rumors?

Tuning is not available for the 19s yet. So no supercharger options. My last two trucks have been 5.3s with a supercharger. One with 3.73s and the other with 4.10 gears. I will say my 19 High Country

Since people always ask for evidence of a claim.  Here is a link to a video about one of the new Roush Ford F-150s.  This video shows a 725hp one.  But, when I looked around at Ford dealer websites that have Roush trucks, I didn't see a 725hp one for sale, only the 600hp ones.

If you can live with a different color I would suggest go test drive a 6.2.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if you call them they will tell you the kit will be available once tunes are available....

 

The manufacturers are getting down right pesky with the ability to tune. My understanding is that GM threatened legal action with a few major tuning manufacturers for the ZR1.....

 

The manufacturers act as if we dont even own these cars we've purchased anymore... Im a huge fan of the right to repair and right to modify movements.

Also, that callaway truck, no way it will be $40k like the Roush truck.  Probably at least $60k.  No thanks.  I just want a supercharger kit for around $3k that I can install with full length headers and a tune.

 

Then I'll be happy.  :-)

I am confident that you won't find anything that cheap even going the lt4 route. It would be awesome though.

I have to agree with you, I bought the 19 LTZ with the 6.2 \ 10 and I can't imagine ever needing more, ever.   It's very impressive.   If I needed more I would get a sports car, this thing has tons of power. 

 

How much quicker \ impressive was the supercharged 5.3 over your 6.2?  Night and day, barely noticeable or not worth the hassle?  I'm just curious.

Because of the gearing in the 10 speed I feel my 6.2 would run 0 to 60 with the 5.3 that was supercharged. The half throttle torque is also similar. Wot throttle the supercharged motor definitely takes over. My supercharged 5.3 was pushing at least another 100 hp over my 6.2 but the gearing of the 10 speed is what makes the 6.2 feel so strong.

Well, to some it may not be worth the hassle.  But, I want the color I want.  Why 'settle' when you are spending in excess of $40k for a new truck?  And as far as getting a sports car, I have one:  a 2018 ZL1 Camaro with 6 speed manual.

 

I just like the idea of having my truck match my car, color wise, when I am towing it to a track day.  So, if I cannot get a Red Hot colored Silverado in LTZ or High Country trim, my next best bet is to get an RST with the biggest motor available, then supercharge it.

Can't argue with that. I dig the red hot. I have a torch red C7. Hopefully it wont be to long before tuning is available then a supercharger would be a option.

So.. Why not get your LTZ/ high country in the 6.2 and have your truck painted the Red Hot Red?

Probably get the truck painted red cheaper than a supercharger.

My thoughts exactly. Seems like a much simpler solution to this small inconvenience.

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
