Im trying to find pics how was installed how he had on it on. Mine been on over a year and going on strong... even with towing and didnt hit like his has so trying to see what caused it.

 

[Blazed]

Can you post a picture of how yours is please?

 

[NORCAL SS]

I rented the track at bowing green for my national truck drag strip event and ill be back on monday. Ill take pics and clears the bracket. maybe bracket from gm was off I dont know but ive never had one break that was installed correctly.

 

[Blazed]

Ill just have to wait and see for the meatime ill use the stock ones

 

[NORCAL SS]

Do you remember how you had the bar set up. Inside or outside of the brackets??? if its on the inside of the pass side it will rub the frame like you showed and break the link.

here is my drivers side from the pic I found on the net when i just hand tightened it up with the zerks.

 

[Blazed]

Yep thats how i had it

 

[NORCAL SS]

yah mine clears and so do the others ive done. For some reason your panhard bracket sticks out a little more and rubs. Either way new one is coming your way.

Nice. That's right around what we average with ours for daily driving with a high percentage of city.

You guys have 5.3s with the 6l80e right. 3.42 gears

Macho does.

 

[NORCAL SS]

yah i get pretty good mileage on the 6.2 especailly after the ported manifold/cat taken off/intake/crank pulley

 

[Blazed]

What gains do you see from ported manifold.

Yes as Blazed said. I was actually the rare case that lost MPG's with the tune bc my driving style: throttle input is very efficient. Higher shift points caused the loss. However the improvement drivability was worth the sacrifice.

 

[Blazed]

So you never got that worked out? Just learned to live with it?

 

[MACHO]

Exactly. With primarily highway driving the tune can really rack up some high MPG's 18-20. I had another tune sent to me that was 50/50 between the original modded tune and the stock tune. Been averaging 15.5 compared with 14 on the 1st tune.. I'm hoping to get more with the summer gas. If I was driving with the stock tune, I'd prob be around 16.5+.

As an aggressive driver, I wager you're going to see some really nice gains!

I wonder if Texas ever switched to winter gas
