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.

Curious to hear any feedback as well, I've got my eye on this setup.

Just had this installed and love the sound, plus a AFE CAI , trucks throttle response is improved , no complaints

Nice and quiet until you punch it. No drone either.

I’m still undecided which route I should take. My biggest concern is the drone. Did you leave any of the flappers in, or the resonators? My 2017 had bad drone. I have a 2019 now and I’m just wondering if the DFM system is just better all around when comparing the drone to how the AFM was. Both of my trucks had/have the 5.3l

I had a local shop install it. As I've mentioned before, there's no noticeable drone at highway speed. 

Did they leave the flappers or resonator in, or did they install the full Flowmaster kit and remove the flappers?

Honestly I'm not sure, they installed the full Flowmaster kit. The tech didn't mention anything about removing the flappers.

My goodness!  I’m totally impressed with the sound of the FlowFX!! I went with it because I didn’t want to be obnoxiously loud to my neighbors and It hits the sweet spot perfectly. It has an incredible deep and throaty tone. I’m very happy with it.  99624D8A-DCA2-40D1-A895-FA14DB4A1731.jpeg.e9963fc075d66fc63721322848a07d37.jpeg

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
