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

You have no idea how quick they (GM) are to void your warranty for something as benign as a catch can.  So, it boggles my mind why they get so uptight about tuning.   Also, that callaway tru

I agree it will be expensive , I wouldn't go that route but it is an option. If you can find a 3k supercharger let me know because I will buy one asap even with tuning not available right now. I am co

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.

Paint the thing! Warranty in tact. LOL.

From that link. "The Callaway Silverado and Sierra are specialist versions based on General Motors’ GMT K2XX platform. The trucks may be equipped "

 

2019 isn't K2. So something is wrong.

I think they jumped before they looked when they posted this. They have not updated anything in 6 plus months.

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?

Dealership I bought my RST from has this new fire red RST with the Fireball performance package. Supercharged 500+ hp...Also had a Fireball camaro with 700+hp

Interesting that it's an RST, I assume that means it's the DFM 5.3 not the AFM 5.3?

I feel like I always buy my trucks too early. Can't believe they announced 2020 RST's will get a 6.2 option. Screwed again.

That red supercharged RST is interesting, but it is RWD, not 4WD.

 

I read online that Chevrolet is going to start offering the 6.2L as an option for the RST trim level in the 2020 model year.  So, instead of trying to supercharge a 5.3L, I will just wait until August/September and then order a 2020 the way I want it.

I'm still waiting to see a stock tune from any 2019 model. I'm not sure how anyone is tuning these new trucks yet when even HP Tuners hasn't released any information about being able to get into the new computers yet. Even if the truck has the old AFM/6L80e setup, I haven't seen anything come up about them.

 

I even googled the Fireball package and couldn't find anything about the 2019 truck specifically, they had pictures of the K1xx series trucks.

Yah i wonder if that 2019 rst fireball silverado just has a intake and performance exhaust. No one has tuned these things yet so unless GM gave them special permission i dont know how they could have.

What dealer is that fireball silverado at, is it on their website with some pictures under the hood? Not calling you a liar but maybe the truck is being misrepresented by the dealer or i am completely wrong and will ear Crow.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Indeed a proper drain tap or drain valve with adapter that has a hose on it that opens up the valve as the adapter goes on is a slick setup and have that for certain highway tractors etc and other equipment that came from the factory with a tap but this L8T is pretty darned good other than me doing it on the floor and easy to touch hot exhaust and am not as agile as I used to be !. If I really want to pull a hot filter on an engine I will use an insulated set of thick neoprene gauntlet gloves but I am not in the hurry I used to need to be so things are done more relaxed and in theory somewhat safer ... I think LOL.    And as I mentioned the unique shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers, while they might not work as well as an offset pour spout container for some awkward engine location applications, they are working a lot better with my Lisle funnel kit because of how they prop up on all four corners when upside down resting on the rim of the funnel where the typical quart container would never stay put without holding onto it.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      Well, I just hit 100K a few weeks back, and I can honestly say I have not had any major issues with my '21 5.3 Crew cab.  I have done most routine maintenance, oil changes, air filter, tire rotations, and a transmission drain and filter change (not even a full flush).  A couple of months ago, I started experiencing the dreaded CLUNK when coming to a stop, sometimes hard enough to literally push the truck forward! After researching here and in other forums/youtube videos, etc, I was thinking it's the slip yoke. I finally had a chance to take it to my local mechanic today, and he was not able to recreate the issue.  Amazing, since it does it nearly every time I drive.  He also said he can't simply grease my slip yoke/driveshaft splines, because I have a 1 piece driveshaft.  I am not sure what else I can do.  Has anyone else had this issue or have any idea what else it could be?

      This is where the Fumoto drain valve comes in handy.  No mess and able to change oil hot, like right off the interstate hot.  Flows nice and you can direct it into a container. As for the oil filter, I use an old dixie cup or plastic one from McDonalds. It contains the oil as you pull the filter down and not all over your hand.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Well, if it did change from lifters to rocker arms, at least it would be easier to fix as they fail.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Doesn't hurt to try.  It's my understanding that you have to run it at least 4 or 5 oil changes for things to get clean.  Think about it, your engine didn't get dirty in just an oil change so over time it will slowly clean. It's the safest way to do it and not have seal issues.      I remember  a product that came out a long time ago, AutoRX, it was an additive you put in the oil and then drove for 3k miles. Some saw improvements and some didn't. It was suggested to use a non synthetic with it at the time. Same observation, use a couple oil changes and give it time to work. It also stated it worked best if you could drive on trips to keep the oil hot.  I'm sure if you ask AI it could tell you all about it.
