Steve,

 

The next thing I have to do is get some nerfbars or side steps on my truck.  I'm tired of having to pick up my kids and put them inside.

 

I've thought hard about possibly adding a Borla muffler in place of the stock one, but I don't know if they make one to fit.  I'd keep the massive stock stainless pipe though...

I ran JBA headers on a 5.3 Silverado and supercharged 6.0 Suburban. Easy install and they are usually worth about 10-12 hp. I'm running a set of The Other Guys long tube headers on my 2002 8.1 Suburban. They quality is excellent and they have seen a 23hp improvement on a stock 8.1 motor. They should be worth more on this truck with the Whipple.

 

We have one set of 8.1 long tubes for sale at a reduced price. They are brand new and are for a truck that doesn't have AIR fittings. We'll let these go for $600. plus shipping.

There were alot of LS1 clutch issues a few years ago that weren't being worked out to quickly so I found it better to convert the car to an automatic. It's much more consistant at the track and easier to dial in. Myself and another driver ran withing .01 of eachother and that was making high 10 second passes. Now if I can only find time to install the ATI kit and dial it in with the 409 motor...

Like with the trucks anything you can do to help your Z breath better will give you more horsepower. For $1000. I would go with a K+N FIPK and aluminized Random Technology catback ($520. total). Or for a more aggressive sound and better flow the SLP Loudmouth would be a good choice (add an extra $100. for the exhaust and installation kit). From there your choice start to spread out. You could go with a set of 1.6 roller rockers ($299.). That would be like doing a small cam change and give you about 10hp. Or there is the Hypertech Power Programer can recalibrate your fuel/ignition curves, raise the rev-limiter, turn the fans on earlier. If you have a high mileage car replacing the cat would be a good mod. Just depends how much you would like to get out of the car but the induction/exhaust mods are a good place to start.

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      Winter Returned

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
