So TFLTruck answered my longing question this morning. The new ZR2 does come with Borla Exhaust. Sounds very good. I still don't know if it's worth $70K+

 

Enjoy the video

hey better then nothing right ? You and I have pleaded with them to give us more from their 6.2 and make this more unique. Wish the tires were also a little bigger.

For sure!! More power for that price, but also I noticed that the Trailboss is also going to have the black cowl hood as well. So only thing making this ZR2 look any different is the cut-outs on the bumpers....that to me is a huge mistake.  The ZR2 should have the unique hood

Hey better than the AT4X tho right? You can barely even tell it from a regular AT4 and at an even higher cost.

I agree with you as well!  What is GM thinking not putting that ZR2 bumper on the AT4X. There is no difference that I have seen in the pictures between the standard AT4 and the "X".  Very disappointing.

It's still a $14,000 truck... dollars are worth a lot less. 😉

The GMAuthority website says a Borla can be ordered for the ZR2, for dealer install, rather than a standard or option from factory.

From link:

 

According to GM Authority sources, customers will be able to order a Borla performance exhaust system for the Chevy Silverado ZR2 through dealerships. The new exhaust system is tagged with part number 19433388 and priced at $1,799, plus install.

Critically, the Chevy Silverado ZR2 Borla performance exhaust system includes exhaust tips that remain tucked-up underneath the rear bumper, just like the standard ZR2 exhaust treatment.

Interesting so TFL might have messed up, but when I built a truck on GMs website I clicked on the performance exhaust and it didn’t add it to total price of truck.  Like it was already included??

It's still an $80.00 exhaust... dollars are worth a lot less. 😂

Just went through the catalog.  The Borla is an accessory option.  Can't be LPO'd, its over the counter.  19433388 for ZR2 and AT4X.

Would have been a great time to update the 6.2 numbers.  I know I know I’m beating a dead horse

So if I wanna build a ZR2 (like I did) would I have to just pay out of pocket for the exhaust?  Like a did with my Corsa?  If so I might as well go with the Corsa Exhaust again. Or I could use my GM rewards points to put down on this exhaust, correct?

Me too!! LOL, It kinda makes me think Gm has a new set of small block V8's coming?? Or getting rid of them all together and going smaller turbo motors. Which doesn't make sense to me because Ford's and Toyotas turbo V6's dont get any better REAL WORLD MPGs than GMs V8's 

 

Hell my stepdads ecojunk barely cracked 18...averaged 17 the entire 5 years he owned it, and prior to that his 2004 5.4L triton got the same, so he never saw a benefit in the turbo motor. Every article I have read on the new Tundra is basically stating same thing, Not making its EPA numbers. Here it was 3 mpgs lower!  That's HUGE!!

Correct.  Would be from the dealer parts counter/chevy accessories website.  You can use the My Rewards as well yes.  This system is high tipped like the stock one for clearance as well, so a Corsa system would just use the OE style normal clearance tips.

I think I'd see how I like the factory ZR2 exhaust before popping another +/- $2000.

 

Otoh with the Multimatic DSSV suspension goodies, skid plates etc etc it's already an expensive truck.

    • There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often. 
    • I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.        
    • This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.
    • Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
    • He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
