:D This is just a little story of what happen to me today. I was on a job site a few days ago doing what I do and overheard a couple of guys talking about their trucks and the mods they have done to them. I added a few comments to the mix. To my surprise I must have said something to upset one of them and it became a my truck can beat your truck rant. I stood there as this guy talked big about his Ford and how fast it was. He also added a list of guys he had outrun and how he was the fastest in the county. So I said maybe I will see ya on the road Big Boy, to which I am sure made him madder :P Now as for my truck it is pretty much a stock 5.3L nothing crazy going on yet. I found my self back in the area today in my truck and came across Ol Big Boy in his F250 powerstroke . I never told this guy my truck would take him I just listen to his rant and egged him on a little. So I pulled in where he was at and waved a hand. I guess he was happy to see me. He made his way to my truck and ask me if we where going to run them. I felt like a little fun so..... :crackup: I waited for him to get into his truck so I could follow him to the place up the road. After the 2nd time he tried to get his truck to start I started to feel good about my chances :crackup: This super truck of his had Banks Powered on the side and a scoop on the hood and stickers of the stuff he had shoved it to this thing. On the 3rd try the truck came to life sort of... :crackup: I asked him if he still wanted to do it as I could see the truck was having 2nd 3rd and 4th thoughts about the whole thing and the look on his face :D was pretty sad. It's at this point that I think I should have just driven off but no not me :D Up the road and to a nice straight line Mr Cranky to my left truck now running almost smooth. A friend of his started the whole thing off old movie style. I jumped on it and the ol girl took off just as good as a stock pcm will let her. Ol Cranky jumped on his and after a few seconds of what sounded like his engine asking if it could go home he continued to get smaller in my mirror :crackup: Boy that felt good! Now I know it was unfair cause his truck was only a 1/3 of what he said it was, but I never told him to shoot his mouth off. Anyways just a little fun I had.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
