Just got it on the truck and first impressions are good!    It's got a really deep throaty sound. I'm liking it a lot, throttle response seems better also. No noticeable drone either.

Agree'd with RSTPilot. It's actually louder than I thought it would be. Funny that my wife had to take the truck today so I didn't even get to really test it out. She texted me though and said why is

I bought the FlowMaster exhaust. Should be arriving sometime this week or next. I'll report back.

Dang it you had to mention Afe. I had not seen their exhaust. I had convinced myself I was just going to cut the flappers out and install a 3.5" muffler instead of buying a flipping $1k + catback. Now that I looked at the Afe with 4" in and dual 3" out for the 6.2 I might have to have it. I haven't found any clips on what is sounds like though. Afe has a clip of a 5.3 but I bet the 6.2 sounds a little different with the bigger pipes and muffler.

It sounds perfect on the 6.2, nice quiet rumble at idle, and aggressive when you get on it.

I bit the bullet and ordered the GM performance system. I just want something a bit louder in the low RPM and decent sounding when on the gas harder. The price sucks but I guess you pay for what you want.

Anyone know if the OEM dual exhaust can be taken off without cutting anything?

Consensus so far is it’s easy to do if on a lift but if on the ground it’s nearly impossible without cutting.

Directions on the flowmaster tell you to cut right after the Cat. Other than that seems pretty straightforward. Installing it tonight.

She texted me though and said why is your truck so loud... haha. All in all took about hour and half to install and did it on the ground at stock height. I'm a decently skinny guy, it was a tight fit at some points lol.

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By txab · Posted

      Without knowing how bad your banging is, one suggestion is the intermediate steering shaft on the steering wheel. These used to be a problem on 800 and earlier series. The feeling/sound was sometimes described as "clunking" and was felt in the wheel. Also there is a plastic piece in the lower column that is referred to as a bearing. Not your traditional looking bearing though. Your ball joints, bushings and tie rods or steering rack (if equipped) are the main point of issues. You never mention total unit miles, only that you've put 60k on it.   You can search the site for help on the ISS description. Plenty of these have been replaced   https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=site%3Agm-trucks.com+intermediate+steering+shaft&ia=web

      Road Master Active Suspension

      Yes I have is set with the 1mm disk (Minumim Tension), for spring spacing and I raised my truck in the rear 1.5". You can go 2mm  and I think 3mm if you need.Minimum. We are on our way to TN from GA.. My wife is driving and stated she cannot believe  and   stated she can not belive the difference.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By GAMark · Posted

      Most 1 ton trucks come with the factory overload spring, which need to be removed for installation of RoadActive Suspension. Removing the overload allows proper fitment and ensures the system works as intended. The RAS® Mega-Duty kit will reduce squat and provide significant improvement vs the factory overload spring.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      I wonder as well, why they would send me a text message with links to these suggested procedures totalling over $10,000 without even the slightest hint of how they arrived at these being necessary.

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.
