Hey Everybody. I’m about to have my 2014 Silverado AFM deleted with stage 3 cam upgrade, longtube headers, l86 intake, l86 TB, 3200 stall, custom tune. My question- is their other things I must do to go with these upgrades? Truck is 4x4 but will soon be lowered. Driveshaft? New Trans cooler? Bigger oil pump? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

* Get Johnson lifters! Not LS7 lifters, 

* CHE trunnion 

* harden 3/8” pushrods

* BTR 660 springs

* trucool 40k 

* thermostat flip mod (for the trans)

* get LT5 throttle body instead of L86. 
* Katech oil pump

* Katech C5R timing chain 

And get V bands for the long tube if you’re buying speed engineering. 

 

That should do.

This is the package I’m getting from Texas Speed (pic attached). It does come with LS7 lifters but I’m pretty sure I can update the package and get lifters separately. Are the BTR valves springs better then the .660 polished dual springs that come with this kit? Thanks for all the info. Truck is a daily driver but turning it into more of a toy/daily.

TSP springs are find. But definitely change the LS7 lifters to Johnson’s. Front main seal I would suggest going with GM. Everything else looks good. If you’re doing the work yourself, REALLY make sure you follow the ARP head bolt instruction. The washers CANNOT turn with the bolts. I sand the bottom (surface that touch the head) of the washers down with like a 120 grit. Mark the washer with a sharpy and make sure it doesn’t turn as you TQ. If you see it move as you are torquing it, back it off and restart it. 
 

goodluck!

      2001 silverado 1500 5.3L secondary air monitor won’t complete
      By 01Silverado2wd
      hello gm-trucks commuinty i’m having issues with a smog readiness monitor not completing. any information on this issue would be greatly appreciated. my truck is a 2001 Chevy Silverado LS 1500 with a 5.3L v8 and it’s 4x2. all the readiness monitors complete except the secondary air system causing the truck to fail smog in california. i’ve heard the air pump turn on at cold starts and even replaced the passenger side check valve. also replaced the solenoid that sends vacuum. everything in the secondary air system seems to be operating properly but the monitor won’t complete. i’ve driven 100s of miles and done countless cold starts but no luck. even the smog referee said the system is working properly and i should just drive the truck more. anyone else experience this issue and what did you have to do to complete the monitor? there are no codes stored currently and the truck runs fine. thank you to anyone that helps

      2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 4X4 Goes into gear but won't drive
      By ChevyGirl777
      Hello, I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 4X4, 110,000 miles, was driving down the road and suddenly stopped moving, truck still on but won't move. Goes into drive and reverse but wont move. No check engine light, transmission fluid full, and clean, no crazy noises. Any clue what it could be? I have been told the linkage, or the transmission pump... Any advice is appreciated.

      Driver's seat leaning to the left?
      By Jgardow92
      I have a 2022 trail boss lt that has about 6100 mile on it now. Bought it brand new in may 2022 and it seems like the drivers seat leans to the left towards the door. Almost feels like Im gonna fall out of it and no matter how I adjust it it seems the same. Visually it looks like it sits level and is fine. Is it possible something is broken inside like the frame? I would assume the frame would have to be sturdy. Is there any place that sell a better bottom cushion?

      L84 can I save it ?
      By Fredo1888
      My l84 5.3 cracked some pistons now thinking of doing a light hone but wanted to know if it would even save the engine ? The scratches are pretty light my nail doesn’t get stuck but I do feel em. The pours on the other hand I’m not sure what could have caused those little things ?

      2020 Silverado sway bar hitting CV axle
      By MisterEhEDC
      Hello all, My Sway bar was hitting my CV axle, as the title says. So I crawled under some trucks at the dealer to see what stock trucks are like and it turns out that the new TB/AT4's have longer end links then my 2020 TB. The new end link has a 3 inch rod vs the 1-3/4 inch OE part.
       
      The part number for the longer end link is P/N:85590925
