    Cat Back

    I posted (most of this) this on a different exhaust thread this morning, and added the "--" section: Put a Borla Touring 3" in > dual 2.5" out on my aluminum LC9 5.3. It's just about perfect for me at 48yrs old. Plenty of bass above 3500 and just enough on cold starts. If anything I would turn...

    Genuine Tech2 quick question

    Thanks Joe....was hoping you would weigh in. I know you have a lot of experience with them. Honestly, I was a little more concerned when the guy said it was a genuine unit and that it had come from a local dealer.. Concerned it may be locked or would/could be locked if a subscription was not...

    Genuine Tech2 quick question

    AGREE 100% about this group! Before I asked if you all would allow an Avalanche guy on here, I was frequenting numerous other forums and simply stated: This one, BY A WIDE MARGIN, had the most knowledgeable members, had the least negativity, least sarcasm, and fewest ego driven...

    Genuine Tech2 quick question

    Thank you... My main goal was to learn if it could somehow be locked or need to be updated and cost additional $$$... I was probably a little quick to ask vs digging deeper in archives and reading for myself but these things vanish so fast when they're for sale....and it's so close to me(and...

    Muffler question

    Put a Borla Touring 3" in > dual 2.5" out on my aluminum LC9 5.3. It's just about perfect for me at 48yrs old. Plenty of bass above 3500 and just enough on cold starts. If anything I would turn it up the slightest little bit on starts. +1 to @swathdiver advice also.. Ask Borla if they...

    Genuine Tech2 quick question

    Yeah....Busy stretch of life last year Thank you, glad to be back....I figured you guys would be able to hold down the fort without me for a few months lol. Felt a little guilty too though....felt like I've taken a little more from the pot than I've put in to this point? As karma does...

    Genuine Tech2 quick question

    Nothing that I have found... Only differences I have seen are individual unit based and have to do with quality of connectors and a couple complaints about logo being off center or pixelized during boot-up. Also read one that genuine CANdi wasn't working and one where the LED light on a...

    Genuine Tech2 quick question

    Thank you, I read that in more than one place. Would've been just fine if I had stuck to this forum and kept digging for info. For whatev reason I typed it into a www search and proceeded to read post after post contradicting each other and claiming you had to buy a subscription etc....smh

    Genuine Tech2 quick question

    Was in a hometown hardware store in Steubenville, OH yesterday and they had a sign that said cash is king above the register :D I'm still reeling a little from the $175 I sent to some doucher in Indiana for an Escalade gauge cluster in Dec '22.... Has me a little hesitant to buy one that has...

    Genuine Tech2 quick question

    Copy that! Do you have any idea if what I've read is correct about 33.004, that it will do all a Tech2 can do on all GM vehicles up to 2013?

    Genuine Tech2 quick question

    From what I've gathered over last couple years on web.... functionally nothing different, but physically the genuine has: manufactured date stamped inside card slot lid silver metal inside female candi connectors vs bronzish on clone...

    Genuine Tech2 quick question

    Howdy guys, Haven't been on here in forever and need to say this before my Tech2 question: I'm sorry for not finishing my rear end swap thread and linking the pics yet. I've broken two phone screens since it was completed and I had stopped (voluntarily) backing up my every move to the...

    Another UOA = Used Oil Analysis, 07 Yukon Denali 6.2L w183k miles, Amsoil 0w-20 w/8.5k miles

    I say WOW....impressive I've no idea what levels of these elements would be considered low, acceptable, or excessive when testing 3/4 life motor oil? I found this trying to get some feedback on making the engine oil switch from Mobil 1 to Amsoil and Trans Oil switch from Valvoline to...

    2013 Tahoe/Towing question

    Had two thoughts reading this I love watching the towing torture test videos pulling the Ike- My favorite is the Rivian electric truck w/8000lb behind that had to stop and recharge before it even got there from Boulder And, Thanks for putting my mind at ease. I worried for years about the...

    6L80 Sonnax ZIP Kit, Pressure Switch rebuild, remote filter install, and fluid flush in 2013 Escalade ESV (Pic heavy)

    @skpyle......I'm only halfway through page 3 and I felt like I should stop and tell you that I love you man! As soon as(or if I ever) finish this 14 bolt axle swap I'm about 60% of the way through, I'm going to address my TCC lockup failure issues with a new TC, a combo of Sonnax and...

    How to clean fuel injectors ?

    Yes With 30k miles I doubt you need Cataclean but wouldn't hurt to read bottle/website, learn what is, then decide. I've only used it because both of our vehicles have been running rich for too long and trying to prevent catalytic converters from plugging up

    Would like opinions on front pads for '12 XL Denali, thinking about Hawk

    Would've loved to have had the foresight to measure the 60-0 stopping distance with my worn out warped factory rotors and pads, so I could compare it with the Powerstop Z36's I put on a few years ago. Likely wouldn't have trusted and app though, but I'm weird like that. Just counted 22 total...

    Rear-end swap: 8.6" 10 bolt w/3.08 >> 9.5" 14 bolt w/3.42 + 3.42 swap in 8.25" front (or else)

    HAhaahhaha... Thankfully, that's her kind of humor because she called about a minute after I typed that....had to read it to her ;) Kinda banking on making sure there's visible progress being made in our kitchen everyday. That's my best chance of maintaining my current residency in the house

    Rear-end swap: 8.6" 10 bolt w/3.08 >> 9.5" 14 bolt w/3.42 + 3.42 swap in 8.25" front (or else)

    Me also, I owe you guys one. Welcome to come up for Trout or swift water Smallmouth fishing, whitewater rafting, Appalachian Trail, golf at the Greenbrier, or ______(whatever) anytime. Honestly was going to wait and get it later.....then thought about the front and rear 3.08 set I can sell +...

    Rear-end swap: 8.6" 10 bolt w/3.08 >> 9.5" 14 bolt w/3.42 + 3.42 swap in 8.25" front (or else)

    It feels and looks like it's up for the challenge :boxing: Looking forward to comparing the rest of the components asap

    Rear-end swap: 8.6" 10 bolt w/3.08 >> 9.5" 14 bolt w/3.42 + 3.42 swap in 8.25" front (or else)

    Highly productive day... Thanks to last weeks "coaching up" on the fundamentals of axle i.d. by VIN from @swathdiver & @Geotrash, I was able to end my recent string of strikeouts yesterday... Made a 3hr road trip down to Lewisville Motors in Winston-Salem, NC and scored this beauty...

    Post Burb Avalanche, recommendations

    It's been 9.5yrs since I went through my search. I was mostly looking for 2-3yr old vehicle with = < 30kmi white w/blk leather, sunroof, the 6sp trans, A/C seats, and Pwr Run Boards. I would've gone with the Cadi faster than you could say it had they offered it with a 4x2/4x4 switchabled...

    How to clean fuel injectors ?

    Did this about 18mos ago... Seemed to work great. 9v with alligator clip jumpers causes an audible "click" as the injector opens and spraying cleaner through showed 4 distinct nozzle fan type spray patterns. Two of mine were not playing nice on first spray but straightened right up on...
