What are the first 5 parts you should buy for your truck?
AmericanTrucks ChevyGMC I have a 1998 Silverado with 5.7 350 - It gets only 9 to 10 mpg avg and want to get better mpg along with more horsepower. I'm getting K&N 57-3013-2 cold air intake. What are your thoughts on dual exhaust as well for mileage and hp? Hoping to be at $500 for complete dual exhaust job, but need ideas on what parts perform best. Thanks!
I always get the husky floorliners
Beer, weed, CAI, flowmasters, level and or lower it just a little bit.
Exhaust, programmer, cold air intake, wheels and tires, and tinted windows
You might want to get a tune up done first. Also leaky fuel injectors can cause a decrease in gas mileage as well. I own a 2000 Yukon Denali with the 5.7 in it.
Should’ve included a tuner to remove v4 mode
Those rims are fugly!
Those are the ugliest rims I've seen !!
yes they are awful i mean the truck looks like shit
Those are wheels not rims
Fugly af
Btw these trucks are more aerodynamic without tonneau covers. The wind never hits the tailgate like you would think, it circulates in the bed and most of the airflow goes over the top of tailgate.
Mythbusters did a test on with and without a tailgate, and the with tailgate got better gas mileage
@@tommyebay exactly! The air forms a sort of ball in the box, that is rolling, while the surrounding air rolls over that ball. take off the gate, or add a cover, and that effect is lost.
@@mrmarkspencer8314 everyone who has installed a cover has noticed .8 to 1.5 mpg gained actually. Have yet to test on my truck.
@@jakeorfan5202 perhaps the results i mentioned refer to simply no tailgate, rather than a box cover. It was a while ago. ;)
Yup, good old mythbusters did the test. 👍
First purchase every truck owner needs is bedliner by linex
I was able to get a linex bedliner sprayed in for 460 after taxes for the standard 6.6 bed on a 16 silverado.
Literally who cares about a bed liner lol
@@BarryMccockiner Anyone who uses their truck like a truck.
Danster547 okay pussy keep worrying about little scratches in the bed of your truck
@@BarryMccockiner I don't think I'll ever have a truck without a Linex sprayed in bedliner. And its not about dents or scratches because I use my truck as a truck (and it's still nice to have nice things that will last). I will say I would prefer none over those stupid plastic ones though because the amount of junk that eventually gets under them that helps rust the bed out. I plan on keeping any truck I buy for 10 years or more and Linex will help stop any rust if done early enough. It's also way better than Rinoliner.
That exhaust sounds perfect to me
In my opinion , *the number one modification for around $500* for any newer GM truck is to pick up a HP Tuners package. Either dive in and learn how to tune or have someone tune it yourself. The newer trucks leave a lot on the table that's missing. Besides optimizing the fuel and timing in the map you can shut off the annoying Displacement on Demand and Torque Management, that alone will make the truck feel 100% more powerful. Also you have the ability to tune the transmission , adjust shift points ect. I believe the money is best spent here over a air intake, the stock air box is sufficient enough with a better filter.
Agreed... My sierra on 35s doesn't know what to do with the transmission until i got it tuned. Also AFM is a joke and this list should have a catch can instead of that terrible excuse for an exhaust.
R MH nope. tuned mine, everytime goes in for service i return tomorrow to stock. dealer has done engine warranty work no issues
this man knows his trucks!
My new favorite channel. Have you ever done a video on the top Chevy Silverado Work Truck upgrades?
#1 add-on: mud flaps with the naked lady silhouettes.
#2 add-on: CB
#3 add-on: gun rack
#4: hot girl with cutoff jean shorts and a little white tank top in the passenger seat.
#5: solo cups, SoCo, and a blanket.
I win.
I like your style.
Bryan Sith'ari y’all must be old
@@adriantrejo6696 Getting older every day.
Those mud flaps are just stupid
@@zanefitch9343 why are mud flaps stupid? Mine came with mine Z71 Duramax
I t's apparent to me from the video rust protection would have been the best investment hopefully for under $500.00
Something people forget about a lot is air filters. Every 5,000 miles it's oil change, tire rotation, clean air filter, detail truck in and out. Since I only drive my truck on weekends usually I only need an oil change every 3 months or so.
Good pointers. Thank you!
Perfect vid man im subed
A 2014 with a rough country 2.5 inch lift will fit 34s, in case any one is wondering, at a full turn it will barely rub. Had a buddy had to shave air dam for 35s tho
Thank you for telling me about the rough country lift kit. I wanted something not that expensive and this seems like something I can afford. Question is how much would a shop charge to put it on
Good stuff thanks
I have seen 33s on a bunch of trucks, and they always look small. For some reason they look good on this truck. I installing 295/70/18 on mine with a 3 inch front 2 inch rear on my stock wheels. Hopefully they fit ok. Its basically a 34 inch tire. 2016 sierra 4x4 z71.
Dual Liner! 400 bucks & great for cold weather
Great vid
A lesser known but far better cold air kit can be had from Cold Air Inductions for just over 400 and has amazing performance without a tune and excellent quality
1st thing? Level your truck! Then wheels and tires! Maybe some mud flaps and then a less restrictive air filter and then a "tune" done!
Level the truck!? Fuck that homie.
I just don’t like a lifted truck. I don’t need to compensate for anything. But I do like just a leveling kit because I think it gives it a cleaner look. A tuner would be nice though!
I see a lot of comments on here decrying putting a cover and nerf bars on. The last I checked, owning a truck wasn't a pissing contest. And yes, I have both on my truck. Do I go mudding? Hell no. If I had a truck that HAD to have extra clearance, fill the bed with tools, rocks, and such, or regularly pull other vehicles, it would be equipped for those tasks. My son who is little uses the bars to climb up in.
The cover keeps the rain off the groceries on the way back from the supermarket, but comes off to toss a deer in the back or haul whatever I need to.
It's all personal preference. There should be camaraderie among truck owners. Save the pissing for the rice burners. Haha
I see a man who is secure and honest. I applaud you brother! #bowtieBandits
My 95 Cheyenne had step bars on it for a long time went four wheeling it with no problem
@@Backyardredneck92 Man, I used to work as a tech at a Chevy dealership back in the 90's. I LOVED those trucks, especially the stepsides with the custom package. They were just cool.
Could not agree anymore. Seems like our current culture fosters negativity. Everyone has a right to what they feel works for them without castration.
Johnny I. My 95 Cheyenne is Ext cab 4x4 with bf Goodrich 33 12 50 15 inch tires on 8 inch wide wheels has the 5.7 throttle body with cat delete and glass packs
The side step squeak like crazy when the truck flexes while on rough roads. You can try and quiet it down with washers on the bolts but it doesn't completely work. I would suggest the single steps instead or try and manage without
Agree with your list, not bad. For my tonneau I went with the BAK G2 unit. It looks tight when tailgate is locked & folds up against the rear window to allow total bed space useage, plus you can stand on it if necessary.
I love my BakG2
And it helped increase my fuel mileage.
#1 is a bed mat and side covers, you can get a bed protector of high impact rubber for $389.00 from Duraliner. This bed liner beats the sprayed in crap hands down. The cheep plastic bed liners will beat you truck bed to death, everything slides around and dings the tailgate, sides and bed. The bed rugs mildew, show paint and you can never get them clean if you haul mulch, rocks, sand, or steer manure. If you haul sod, good luck getting that dirt out also.
I just bought an old Chevrolet Avalanche 2004. And I have a lot to do! I hope that Silverado 2014 will be my next! Good luck with everything! Greetings from Russia!
Thank you for watching, Alexander! -Zach
The AirAid MIT gives you the same performance increase for $150 keep your stock filter until it’s time to replace then put a reusable dryflow in the factory air box.
Nate I’ve seen an intake kit for about $80 on a1auto, might be just as good
I think the biggest thing these kits do is remove the intake “muffler”. The OEM stuff has a bunch of tubing that quiets down the intake/reduces some power.
Got an airaid mit and aem dryflow.as well as a 3rd cat delete and 3.5in exhaust.
I didn't do any if this for hp or mpg.
But I gained about 2 mpg mixed driving with a semi heavy foot.
My butt dyno told me I gained a fair bit of pickup between 2.5k to 4.5k rpm
Good selection
Well Done - BRAVO !
Hey thanks for watching! We appreciate it! -Zach
How did the front end components last after the lift? If you keep stock off-set 285-75-20s fit great without and it handles like it's supposed to.
How about those big Bull Testicles you hang from the trailer hitch recepticle ?
The front is lower to allow for better towing. So, if you don't tow or haul with your truck. Then the leveling kit is fine.
Current truck:
Level 3" F" 2" rear
Rims/tires , next
Exhaust, T409 mbrp duel rear
Tunnel cover, next
Stereo, but the new truck has a good factory one now.
De badge minus the chevy symbol
And last is usually a tuner
i suggest you use an injen air filter with a filter in the end of the the cone straight through is best for powa, could have done a straight through resonated muffler more power and probably sounds better, throttle body upgrade 90mm or 92mm, lower intake manifold spacers [your expensive msd atomic intakes pretty much do throttle body and lower intake manifold spacer into their design], iat relocation is about $20 stock ones heat soak -.-
On 2017 Z71, dump the harsh Rancho shocks (too much static friction) and go for a set of Bilstein 5100. The front shocks also have up to 2” lift. And at a little over $300 for the 4 corners, a bargain.
I have an idea, don't spend the money for the z71 package if you don't like it. Buy an LT1 or LT2 and put whatever shocks you want on. If you replace the shocks. Then all you paid for was skid plate and badging.
You might want to take some Flat Black Rust-O-Leum to that frame rust underneath. It does amazingly well.
Eric at South Main says those air filter replacements cause more problems than there worth. They mess up the MAP sensors and cause the money light to come on. My 2014 Silverado had a K&N filter on it when I bought it, I had the truck in for service 3 times in the first 4 months I owned it because of the check engine light. They replaced the MAP sensor the first 2 times. The third time they told me they would reinstall a stock air filter system for no charge. Haven't had a check engine light since. Someone else suggested removing the V4 system. I did and it killed my mileage, I'm down to about 12 mpg. I helped a bit in my performance while towing my travel trailer. Speaking of trailers, I guess the guy in the video doesn't tow anything. Running the exhaust straight out the back is going to leave exhaust residue on whatever is being towed. Learned that lesson years ago when I used to drag my race cars to the short tracks of Washington state.
do these prices include labor as well? or just parts
Very nice
Congrats! You are our winner! Please check your private messages so we can get you your
prize!
If you’re buying an older one, led headlights and an undercoating are the first things you should do (in my opinion)
What do you mean by under coating
@@Scorpion-bp3ec Basically something like por-15 or at the least some spray paint. It keeps it from rusting and somewhat protects it from damage. I've seen some people use rubberized paint or Herculiner on their underbody - but I heard it doesn't do much go protect it from rusting. Idk though
You don't have anything for 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic LS 2 wheel drive, buddy? Thanks !
Paint underneath the truck to stop corrosion? I think that’s a mod also
That 14 silverado is pretty rusty underneath already...
Slichman500 and rock chips out the ass
That to me looks more like surface rust than anything to worry about.
K. R. V. Probly is but still thats pretty bad for just being a 14 model... i have a 13 and its nowhere close to that
Slichman500 it all depends on where he lives. I’m actually on a island off the coast of Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Where we run on the beaches all spring summer and fall then salted roads in the winter. Even so I’ve had no rust issues with any of my Chevy trucks, or me 2003 Dakota I traded in 2014 that had no rust. However there are 6 friend/acquaintances of mine that own Tacoma’s, that every one has had to have the frames replaced due to failing inspection due to frame rot! Along with two tundra owners! Where as no domestic trucks have the same issues!
K. R. V. That is very true, and wow!! Thats pretty insane. Good on you for not having that bad luck lol
No one I know or know of makes their first truck mod purchase a set of sidesteps. Dunno where you got this info from. It's usually always exhaust, lift kit, or lights. sometimes bed liner first, in some cases.
First thing to do is RIP off the stock mud flaps and never buy side steps unless there amp retractable steps
Can you do one for 99-06?
I think you should have added a pocket tuner here..I bought my diablo i3 for $375 and it gave me more $ per hp gain than anything else you can buy for a budget friendly price.
Congratulations.. but doing so voids your warranties.
Every person that buys a truck needs to instantly get a spray in bed liner. It’s a must have over a bed cover
Spray better than the new drop ins? I mean now days they have them totally formed custom to every bed. And if you ever fuck it up you can just get a new one. Spray seems too permanent. Idk just wondering other's opinion on it.
Good salesmen
I like how he said vertically challenged and not short 😂
Does the lift kit lock with stock wheels?
Could 35s for with this lift kit?
What's the wheel and tire package?
Wmmr...are you guys in the Philly area??
Hopefully you have a better product then rough country.
What Fuel wheels are those?
285/75r17 coopers are 33.8”
What type of wheels?
wmmr ? on the radio you guys from the philly area?
What about a catch can?
Spray bedliner on the under carriage to slow rust.
The lift kit may be under 500 but them tires you'll need will put u over 1200
Would it be possible to upgrade a 2015 Chevy Silverado WT to a High Country?
lol yeah they can do that at the factory for 15 - 20 thousand dollars :)
Whats the size of tire?
Full size SUV's are a part of American truck as well...not just full size pick ups . I'd like to see a mixture of content; suspension,exhaust and even wheel setups
Just a quick comment about the areodynamics comment you made. Putting a bed cover on actually does not increase areo and does not result in better fuel mileage
caribeach2641 I believe myth busters did an episode where they did prove having a bed cover does not increase fuel mpg
John Conway, I remember that episode! If I recall, they found that the mesh netting actually was the best!
I can attest to this, my 2016 gmc with a bed cover did not increase its mpg after I put one on. Didn’t hurt but definitely will not increase gas mileage. Added benefit that wasn’t mentioned, however, is rain proofing the cargo.
BED COVER? Anyone who ownes one must have looked at the bed and thought "Let's see I bought this truck because the Jones have one, now what should I do with all of this space back here?" I KNOW I will cover it!!" Why do you have a truck?
Tyson Hannig Not necessarily. I toss my groceries in the back instead of stuffing it all in with the kids. In the winter, I take the cover off to throw my hoist, gambrel, and deer in during hunting season.
It's all a matter of personal choice.
But adding a cover to increase MPGs is a myth.
Window tint should be number one
Should watch myth busters on the aero comments about the covering of your bed.
Um sorry, the factory air box isn't "fairly restrictive". It does a pretty good job, but that's not to say a aftermarket cold air won't help a bit though I reccomend a Bullydog GT gas tuner first. Mine paid for itself in under a year.
How does the exhaust do in V4 mode? I bought my truck with a flowmaster system on it and I wish i hadn't. When it drops to V4 mode the vibration and sound change is almost too much to bear.
Get a Rangefinder AFM delete
I agree with Kevin. But, it's a "Range Technology AFM Disabler"
I see you are a Preston and Steve listener... 93.3 WMMR Baby!
Matt Schaeffer I saw that too!
Matt Schaeffer He sounds like he's from the area.
@@gierhedd75 explains the rust 😔
I used to think its called tunnel cover from hearing people and called it that as well. lol
Lift kits will likely keep you from getting in parking decks at airports or courthouses.
Which is why I want nothing to do with them. Last need I need is to get stuck or tear up my roof at a low clearance parking structure.
Can you do one for 2008- 2013
first thing-disable the AFM
😆 second is replace this truck for one with a carb.
What is AFM?
@@Rob_Nasty air-fuel management.
Never do a body lift
This is where I research outside of you tube..
“Especially for guys like me if you’re vertically challenged” 😂😂
How about some Mud flaps/splash guards...
If your gonna lift your truck remove the air dam....even if u don’t, remove it.
Messing with the air flow without a tune does more harm than good.
1. Remove air dam - free. Adds a few inches of clearance.
2. True dual exhaust, large pipes and performance muffler, flowmaster 10 or 44. $300 or less. Adds 10+ hp.
3. Forced induction - s/c or t/c. $0 - $$$$$. Salvage yards, refurbished, cheap turbo build, or go with high quality....magnuson is middle of pack.
4. Tune - $0 - $500. Find a buddy with a tuner, buy one, or have a shop do it. This ties everything together.
No link to the tonneau covers???
That truck looked way better stock nice vid tho
How much hp dose that cold air intake add?
none. Cold air intakes on these engines make no performance gains as the stock one is already adequate
I’m running 33’s on my Silverado stock no lift and no cutting in the fender wells so do you think I could run 35’s with the 3.5 lift
Probably not without cutting, the stupid square wheel wells
Thom Platt why do you say that? From a 33 to 35 is only 1 inch in radius and I would be raising the truck by more than three times that
If you want sound out of an exhaust for under $500 go for a cherry bomb glasspack
Tonneau cover, for keeping all of your groceries dry.
The Fitzwater haha dang right. Tired of trying to beat the rain home with groceries. Or stuffing them all in with the kids. Lol
I'd never own a truck without a Tonneau. But, I'd never spend less than $1000 on one. Plus, unlike the lies in this video, they do not help air flow and actually hurt fuel economy. It's been proven....
If I wanted to cover my truck, I’d buy a car! Covers get in the way of hauling things like hay, soil, manure, for instance. I use my truck as a truck.
Groceries dry, deer out of sight and protected, tools covered and safe, snow from building up and freezing, etc...
Scott Wilkins explain why my MPG went up from 17.5 to 18.4.. seems like it works to me
The tailgate fuel efficiency thing is a Myth . Its been busted
Yup, instant I heard him say that I knew he didn't know what he's talking about and stopped watching...
Paul Nowalski same lmao
Weird, my MPG went up from 17.5 to 18.4 when I put a cover on. Seems like it works to me lmao
@@jlaster253 shit my 15 Silverado got like 34 on the interstate now after I took it off I get 22
How to autozone your truck.
F-the side steps. Every time you get out of the truck you wipe your nice new pants on the bars. This only has to happen once.
There also made of just a little better than exhaust tubing. They are not Rock sliders.
Would the dual exhaust fit 2500hd?
Depends on whether it’s a gasser or diesel.
They didn't mention the afm problem with an exhaust mod
What about shocks ??
How did it go from a single exhaust to a dual???
That was one of his mods
Screw the add-ons, first thing any truck owner who Ives in the rust belt should purchase a good rust proofing application and no, GM's factory undercoat job is not going to protect your vehicle. If anything, it'll help speed up the rust process.
Do I risk doing this with a 4.3L V6
Why not? Love my 4.3 with a small tune.
Nice mods but open box cold air intake
Perfect for that grandpa look
4:33 Damn man. I would love to have caught whoever door dinged you.
Tiger on Amazon makes the same bed cover for $189.
Yeah we bought a Tyger for my wife’s dodge and it’s already falling apart and doesn’t want to stay closed even with the screws tightened
Jan 2022 - the exhaust is now 639.99 .... inflation! I still like it though.
