Mostly level......some 2-3% grade. Average speed was 75-85 mph
Approx 70*

My transmission cooler that I added is a little smaller, but possibly thicker (not sure), than the 40K and mine usually runs about 80° above ambient. That is with the 4L60E and 3:73 rearend... Just for comparison.

Changed out my tensioner and idler pulley. The Idler pulley I received was too small so I swapped the bearing. Both had bad bearings so I was worth it but my belt noise persisted. I believe it is the AC belt. I am looking for the threads about this issue but the search function is still down. Anyone got some links or suggestions on what belt to run?

You did fine. My bro replaced the resistor in his truck and the blower lasted maybe five minutes before smoke came out of the vents from a newly-fried resistor pack. The root problem was the blower motor which killed the original resistor and then the new one.

For belts, I stick to Gates, Goodyear or Bando. They're stretch-fit, so you're gonna need the tool or take it somewhere.

Thanks. I remember you guys talking about that. Someone was gonna look into how to add a tensioner but I didn’t see any more about it. Also heard of the zit tie trick but I don’t like that much.

Makes me glad I have an '08 with the tensioner on the A/C belt.
Maybe you could buy a tensioner and bracket for an '07-'08 and bolt it onto your truck
.
This is the tool I bought, it's magnetic and reversible for removal/install getting the old belt off was super easy, getting it back on was a little trickier because there is a metal tab that sticks out around the harmonic balllancer so you have to place it just right while turning it with a ratchet. I saw a youtube video of a guy doing it with a flat head screw driver though, made it look pretty easy

Thats what some guys were talking about here but I never saw anymore about it. My noise came on suddenly when it went from 45 deg to 70 deg here and everything in my shop started to sweat. Like dripping wet with condensation. I bet all the shiny metal rusted. After that it was the most God awful noise from this truck. I knew both my idler and tensioner pulley bearings were sketchy so I did that first. My noise remained so I grabbed the carb cleaner and sprayed the ac belt and it was instantly quiet. Went for a ride and it got better but thinking the belt could stand to be replaced. It a new belt doesn’t help I will consider adding the tensioner somehow.Makes me glad I have an '08 with the tensioner on the A/C belt.

Messin with the Silverado’s new air management system. Just about have it dialed in. Sorry about the pause in the middle, I forgot my phone in the house. Wilwoods finished up too.

When the belt on my ex-work van (2013 Express) popped from a rock getting caught in the pulley, I had this same thought. Work paid to have it fixed, though.

They dont. Same with the signals. I had to wire both of them up.

Went from this:
To THIS:
Also loaded my BBP tune! Man, what a difference. Better throttle response and the trans actually knows which gear to be in.
Black wheel nuts are still in the mail, so for now they are silver. Next up is an all black grille/ emblem and tint.
