I got an email from range today and they are sending me a beta unit for testing. Told me it shipped today, so looks like things are moving forward.

Awesome man. I signed up for beta testing but no email for me. I’m assuming I was not picked. Please keep us updated. 
 

Edit. I also got an email so I sent back my info so I hope they send out soon. I am excited to see how well it works.

Nice. Hopefully things go well. I've been looking at getting a carven catback as well but was on the fence because I didn't want to have to deal with the helicopter noise from deactivated cylinders. 

 

I am however supposed to be taking my truck in next Monday and getting a loaner and have no idea how long they will have it. Hopefully it's pretty quick so I can try out the new toy.

Can I just ask does the DFM really bug some of you ? This is not an insult in anyway but just wondering why .  Not coming here to pee on cheerios but i honestly dont notice mine most of the time.

I purchased a 2020 silverado with the 5.3 and I honestly can't really tell its doing anything.  I do both city and highway driving and it is wayyy better than the AFM that was on my 2018 silverado.  Was planning on buying one of these but am gonna hold off since DFM really does seem to be a major improvement over AFM from the previous gen.  Time will tell though.

It didn't bug me as much until I installed exhaust on the truck.

I just shot them an e-mail too and received a response within 5 minutes, so I guess I will be beta testing one of these also!  I guess they were desperate for a 6.2L/10-speed combo!

How are you liking that 6.2 with the 10 speed? I don’t hear any complaints about them but people are constantly complaining about the 8 speed. I wish I would have gotten the 6.2 but they didn’t offer it as an rst model at the time and I don’t want 4wheel drive either.

I absolutely love it.  The 10-speed is butter smooth and the 6.2 has plenty of power on tap.  It is FAR superior to the 5.3/6-speed I had in my 2017.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      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.
