I purchased a new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4x4 6.2L High Country. I am exploring all options to get more horsepower. Other than the obvious cold air intake and cat back exhaust, what is available? Any recommendations? Does anyone have any experience with throttle body plates, replacing speed limiter, throttle adjusters, etc. Please provide source link for recommendations?

Your beating a dead horse, nothing is available until they crack the code and the trucks can be tuned. Be patient like the rest of us.

I talked to a Chevrolet Technician yesterday. Apparently, when you purchase the Chevrolet Air Intake Kit, there is a Chevrolet performance tune that only the dealerships have. Is this true? 

 

What about "Throttle Control Module's. 

 

I'm thinking the Chevrolet Air Intake Upgrade with a Borla Cat Back Exhaust and the Throttle Control Module should add 30+ HP and improve the lagging throttle response.

 

Looking for insight?

You may be expecting a little too much there at 30hp. GM rates their own exhaust and intake to add 15. Pedal commander is good for 0hp.

There's only exhaust, intake, and oil catch cans. The throttle adjusters do noting to improve HP. All they do is trick the computer into thinking you pressed the pedal xx% more than you actually did.

 

Stainless works just released their exhaust and headers.

 

Several companies have cat back systems available.

 

Several companies have CAI's available but the GMPP one is there only one with a tune. This tune only changes the MAF mapping. From what I've been able to gather there's VERY little performance gains with that. I saw one person say they dynoed it and got 0hp and 1ft/lb of torque.

 

The exhaust is where people seem to get their performance gains right now since there's no tunes. The GMPP "performance package" with both the intake and exhaust add a total of 15hp and 9ft/lb over stock. I'm sure stainless works with the headers may get more gains but I haven't seen Dyno numbers on those yet. I wouldn't expect much more than the numbers from the performance package with just bolt ons...

Also, FYI the GMPP cat back is made by Borla. Don't expect much more than GM is claiming with theirs. Just better sound of you go with the ATAK system...

Can anyone confirm if it is true that when you purchase a Chevrolet Air Intake kit for the 2019 Silverado 62.L, that part of the dealer install includes a upgraded tune?

I had the dealer put in the cold air return and cat back exhaust. They told me they had to adjust the computer (and charged me for that time). But did not tell me what they did or what effect it has.

Yet you paid for it anyway?

If it needs ot be done it needs to be done. It was 85.00 and not optional. Do it or not get the parts.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
