Have you tried e3 in gm before? I've always been told that they throw codes like crazy when you do
What do you think about fitting a 9c1 conversion to a Yukon xl.
I'd like to know tune wise what you messed with. I've got the Diablo sport i2.
bowtieguy97 why not just buy new oem coils? They are beyond capable of supporting the power your truck is making
I do find running thinner oil helps with fuel economy
Can you make a video about wearing sunglasses on a extremely cloudy day? Pro/con
Best comment of the week 😂
I do this all the time, helps to hide how high i really am all the time!
How about a video on why ladies love a bearded man with a shaved lip?
Tyler you must be cool AF.
@@nigelio3 well you sound like a fucking dumbass from that shitty reply. I see this as 2 ways: a. Your hating for no fucking reason bc i choose to get high and u obviously dont so u think ur better than me and have to voice your ignorant ass mouth or b. Your just too god damn stupid to see that i actually gave a legitimate reason to wear sunglasses when not sunny, not just to be "kool".
Good video. Finally some info from a truck guy that actually drives his truck.
"the mod that made the biggest difference, and I know I'm gonna get the comments, but the vortec max badge makes the truck stand out"
AKG Z28 as being stickercharged.
Lolol 😂😜 gotta get one for my 2000 Silverado 5.3 gonna gut the cats give it a tune up put a cold air intake higher flow muffler and higher flow injectors. Oh yeah.
@@jakejanellcool123 MOST IMPORTANTLY MY FRIEND....DON'T 4GET THE VORTEX MAX EMBLEM THEN GO OUT THERE N KICK ASS 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks.
I am already impressed with the stock 5.3 Vortec in my '99 Silverado, so am excited to try these tips.
I like the amount of miles on this thing, makes me happy to see trucks go the distance
That's badass bro I love that truck I appreciate the tips I'm working on my 5.3 now
You should definitely mention in a video on how you feel about squated trucks, love the channel!
I fell asleep watching this video and woke up you were still talking. !!!!!!!!
me to totally stroking himself
Dont watch than. Idiots
@@matthewwallace2981 😂👌
@@matthewwallace2981 then???
😂😴🥱🤣
Have a 5.3 that needed a new head gasket about a year ago. Mechanic talked me into going ahead and changing the heads. Put some camaro z28 heads and it screams. Definitely tell a difference.
Gotta love all the experts out there.
I know right 😂
Thank god your doin a video on the fans!!!
I need a video on what you did with the tune.
X and h pipes make more power than two separate pipes because they equalize the exhaust coming out of the exhaust valves in the cylinder heads. They create an exhaust siphoning affect where two separate pipes cause the exhaust strokes fight against themselves.
Informative and very descriptive you make your point to all levels.
Bad ass truck man I love it first video I watched of yours. That is a beautiful beast.
Everybody told me I was crazy for saying my exhaust and air intake combination made more power on stock size wheels.. and now someone else has felt the power gains good video
It just opened it up. If you can't suck it in you can't blow it out.
I swap lq9 6 years ago and absolutely love the power. I installed a superchip about a year ago and you can feel the big difference. I have so much power I've done some burnouts. Take it easy
ELI CASTRO how do You instal the chip and how much it costs
Super chips is a joke 😂😂😂
Get a real tune.
@Mike Litoris what is HP tuner...I'm new to this
@Mike Litoris thanks I appreciate it man I've got to do something to wake up this 5.3 in my extra cab half ton so weak I wish I didn't even buy it
Good video guy. Not many ppl can keep talking like you do and keep attention. This video answered none of my questions but I watched it all.
Ef da h8rs
Hey brother, we have a 04 Silverado z71. What is the best way to tune the 5.3? We put an eBay cold intake, have flow master dual exhaust. Agree with you, to max out the engine performance with aftermarket parts, must be tuned right. Great video man. Just subscribed and gave you a huge thumps up!!!
Haha nice hearing Lynchburg on TH-cam, my home town
Clean truck man 👌🏼
I have an 05 Avalanche that has the dual clutch fans on em. And on coldish days like 40 to 60 degree weather it'll wheelspin at half throttle. On 75 to 85 degree days it will take forever to get to 60 at half throttle. So your right about the electric fans.
I agree with you, I did the electric fan swap and man it made a huge difference in power, mileage, plus my ac stays cold all the time
4x4 Silveraydo May I ask what year , and how do you control the fans , ( wife has an 01).
But which radiator is the best one people are using for this upgrade? I have an Envoy with the 5.3.
Where did u get the electric fans and brand??
That diablo sport tune is legit. Used it on my truck, it increased power big time, especially when you manually tune instead of using their preset tunes unless you switch to 93 octane tune and you actually start using 93 octane
Did you gain any mpg and if so, how much? I am considering getting one for my '06 Silverado 1500, but am primarily interested in fuel economy for commuting? It would have to increase mpg by 2 in order to justify the expense.
Diablo sport tune
Can you do a tune video and go over what you changed from the quick tune.
"Superchargers are robbing power to make power", wow your a total genius, you must really know your stuff, I'm guessing you must be a pro tech, nice keep up the good work
I have A 2005 GMC 5.3 with A supercharger on it. only takes one half of 1horsepower to run it at 60 miles per hour. had it tuned and it has380 up and 417 tourqe at the rear tires.
You speak well. New sub. Keep up the good work. Nice truck
What abouth a cam and a install gears trasmission???
I did the E fan swap on my 2000 Sierra. I installed a 2005 Escalade radiator, and the fans from a 2009 Escalade with a 6.2. I can pull a 2500 gallon water tank out into the desert with A/C on 5 MPH to our wildlife drinkers in 110 temps. Wont get hot, stays at 210, wont move past that.
Great vid ,Question does a 2000 Yukon have the TM ?
I feel the other mod will be a cam or long tube headers like that. I have street fire coils on my 03 5.3 and i love them.
Derrick Callies I have long tubes on my 07 Silverado and it’s amazing sounds great and it’s not really choking the exhaust up
I have long tube headers down to a custom x pipe that dumps off at the back of the cab. I have a 05 5.3
You should try ac Delco rapidfire platinum plugs, they’re an upgrade from the standard platinums. And msd wires might make a difference.
I run NGk with TAYLOR (thunder) wires with my long tube headers SHIT IS STUPID FIRE!
I agree with all these mods except the plugs.
Better stay with the Delco iridiums. LS motors can be finicky with aftermarket plugs.
Side note: a CAI with a plastic tube stays much cooler.
PVC Pipe? 🤔
Eh
@@ryze_android17 negative. When you have the option between pretty chrome intake pipe or the plastic, go plastic.
To be honest, the stock intake is cold air already. It takes it from the fenderwell.
There is no difference in torque.
This guy is all about how it feels.. Umm no..
@@williamvarnum5772to be honest, you’re right but you’re also wrong. Yes the stock air box is cold air but the stock intake tube is restrictive. But I do agree His “cold air” is actually worse then stock but if he would’ve only swapped the actual tube for a more performance tubing he’d have very slightly better performance then stock but if you’re going to mess with the stock intake for fun, it’s best to go all out and buy a TRUE cold air intake with true cold air scoops like the Volant intake for these trucks
I have the diablo tuner for my 5.3 and used the preset 87 octane. What other adjustments did you do to the tuner to help your truck run better?
I got TRQ performance coils in red from 1A Auto for $195 and red spark plug wires made by Summit Racing for $50. Really looks and performs well.
I have the same electric fans in my 07 classic. Good to know man!
what fans are they?
What fans do you guys run?
2005 and up gm went with electric fans on these.
I went with the acdelco iridium plugs, but I also like the NGK.
Me to I have a 2002 yukon xl 1500
Wow... now that I see that you and I have the same truck..... other then that I have a stock 6.0L NONE 4X4... I like your truck more... I was feeling same type of way because of the vortex max Badge thinking that you had a big boy monster engine.. lol.. THANK YOU for not hiding what you are Proud of.....
Really enjoy these vids I have an 03
The Max package includes the 14 bolt rear axle, LQ9, 4.10 gears on 4x4’s, and a 4L70 transmission. It’s far more than just a badge and an engine. It’s a new drivetrain.
I’d say he knows what the vortec max package is. He just did it to stand out I guess. But honestly this truck is a solid build and can just ab go toe to toe with a vortec max or 1500hd
Howeitzer I’ll be sure to let my M70 RPO code, all GMT800 Vortec Max trucks, and TBSS’s know of your funding.
Defiantly didn’t come with 4:10s I rode in one and felt it floored barely feels faster than a 5.3
@@Shallowballow if it’s a Vortec Max and 4x4 it got 4.10’s. If it’s 2WD it can have 3.73’s or 4.10’s.
@@vortecmacs well damm 4:10 didn’t rlly do much for them bc u rode in a 4x4 one didn’t rlly feel to fast to me
Dude I love you’re truck!! Where’d you get you’re mirrors?!
Where did you get YOU ARE mirrors?!
@@Ellopez05 😂😂
Good info thanks bro. I'm on a mission now
Really good work and great info. Since Watching this and doing some homework I put cai and H pipes on my 2015 1500, 5.3. Yes sir very noticeable. So now I can keep playing w it. Just for personal satisfaction, I don't race.
See..I believed him when he said it. It shows. U might not.make crazy power. But you damm show not gonna be left behind
I should of got me a 5.3 Chevy instead or this junk 5.4 Ford
True
should've
Well yea bud that’s common sense
I'm more of a Ford guy, traditionally, excepting some Mopar and GM/Chevy (I've had a real love affair with a Trailblazer 4200 Vortec, and am about to start one with a Trailblazer EXT 5.3), but you're right. The 5.4 sucks.

Sweet truck bro!
What’s your gas mileage after tune?
Gerardo Serrano 1
How does everybody feel or think about the 2014-18 Silverado crew cab V6 4.3L over the 5.3L V8... Would the V6 be worth buying if you’re that daily driver that cares about the fuel economy the highest MPG over the V8 or do they honestly go hand in hand..??? Please any comments would be greatly appreciated..
I heard the MSD coils were spotty and hit or miss (from reviews on amazon), don't know how true that is. I have accell super coils and Taylor cable 10.5 mm plug wires on my 06 Denali and couldn't be happier.
F the haters. They are everywhere!!! Sweet truck!
Can I pose these all to my parents as "it'll get me better mileage"?
That’s what i do
Yes, say it's an investment 🤣
Im doing that to my girlfriend 😂
Most Cold air intakes actually do give u better gas mileage
@@chiefbeef2059 a lot of performance mods will
I like your attitude. Nice truck
Nice truck bro !!! Also I love the badge !!!
I did a cam, full exhaust, S&B cold air intake plugs and wires and a tune in my 05 Sierra crew cab z71 and it’s a complete different vehicle. Beats a ford Ecco boost in the quarter mile 🤘🏻
You had to do all that to outrun a 3.5 v6?? Sad
Maybe some nitrous could help ensure your big gas guzzler v8 can outrun a Ford v6. Btw, a normally aspirated 3.7 mustang would blow that away lol.
Mike Litoris can’t argue with stupid people
@Mike Litoris tbh my f150 2.7 ecoboost has beaten 5.3 chevys and when i tuned it and installed a k&n intake it would go head to head on a Denali
@Mike Litoris bro i also have my 2008 gmc sierra single cab 4.8 456 gears built tranny 231/234 cam tuned im pretty sure i can hurt your feeling also if u wanna talk smack about whos got wat
If you have some miles on that engine you'd be a helluva lot better off with a set of injectors over a set of coils
Bruh!...just replaced everything coils wires plugs and it was MF injectors whole time and crack box around my air filter wished I seen your comment before I did it...💯💯💯
Which injectors would you recommend? I have 170k on my 04 Yukon XL SLT. Still running good but could use some TLC. Thanks...👍😷
I got a 2012 Silverado with 174k miles and I’ve never changed the spark plugs or coils needa do that ASAP
Jason Reyes yeah mine was missing like crazy in a lot other problems new coils plugs wires turned off the check engine light completely I’m over 350k now and I have to say it’s running pretty damn good again long live the 5.3L
@@jasonreyes6830 change the plugs but leave the coils alone unless they aren't working, there is no benefit to changing out coils if they are working, a spark is a spark
Do you know how much you spent on intake exhaust and tune together? Thank you 🙏
Good video I learned a lot. For. My 2003 single cab gmc z71 cool truck
They should rename it hot air intake. Factory plastic tubing is far better at shielding heat. The factory unit also pulls in cooler air from outside the vehicle.
Eric Dolby you are right sir
It annoys me every time people recommend “cold air” intakes. It’s such a gimmick. They only make intake sounds louder. Only actually improve power if routed like the factory intake is
Cold air intake does not do any good if its not in a box (factory or aftermarket). The heat from the motor does not allow it to be "cold" air or even hardly cold. Smh
I just did the air box mod, and straight piped it.
yessir
The best next mod u could do is long tube headers . Single most power adder u can do to these motors minus a cam
gun-nut257 Intake manifold
Jacob Maland intakes actually make about no power on these. The intakes are very well designed even in boost applications
Really? I didn’t know that. Is that with the newer LT1 5.3 as well? I have a 2015. Just curious. I’ve added a lot of power with just a few small upgrades. I’m just looking for more
Jacob Maland everything I have read and seen says it's not worth the money but maybe I'm wrong. Defently worth researching it before u spend the cash . I know long tubes are a great power adder though
gun-nut257 you’re right truck Intakes are just as good as stock ls1 intakes
So doesn't your alternator have to rob power to produce the energy for the electric fan? Basically the electric fan is more efficient than the direct drive with clutch?
Love the videos man
I like your truck,it looks nice.
I won’t harp on the Max tag you’ve addressed that,no biggie.
I own a 2003 Silverado SS,not crazy rare but rare enough. My point is,I see a 4x4 jacked up with running boards,stacks and an SS badge stuck on the door and I think “why”!
Justin Bradshaw I see a 4x4 on 22s and think why??
LMAO i see 28s on a 4x4 and think "why give a shit, it's THEIRS"... Not everyone is a follower, it's only material things that can easily be replaced. Stop thinking everyone needs to do the same things
I dont see the big deal unless people try to sell there rig as whatever the fake badges say like ive heard stories of 2wd trucks with z71 badges selling as a z71. People are scandalous!
menitojr Youre right, but on a side note, they do make 2wd z71s...
Justin Bradshaw Are you referring to the max badge?
Va here to bro 🤘🏻
Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that is a nice looking exhaust job. I love the 40s blub ,blub, blub, blub Headers No Cats.
I had both the 6.0 and 5.3 but the 5.3 feels alil better on take off but the 6.0 is a towing beast
You know your stuff lol cause my 5.3 cant tow shit without feeling it lol but it takes off lol
Same here
The factory coils are more then enough. The factory coils are fine in turbo 1200hp trucks.
Jordan Comeaux True but I’m sure that we have our excuses to have some sexy MSD bling under our hoods. Especially on a painted engine block.
Jordan Comeaux disagree. I couldn't run NGK laser iridium plugs on factory coils, now that I have accell super coils they run fine
That's strange. 6k miles in on a fully built 5.3 with factory coils and iridiums and no problems...
Im real big into these trucks and doing a actual build, not a diablo tuner. I can name literally a 100 different people and send a link to their build that are making 500 to 1200hp with these trucks and the factory coils are more then up to the challange. GM did extremely well with these engines to where the heads, coils, and blocks arent really the resrtiction.
Jordan Comeaux I'm not saying the factory coils are shit, I'm just saying that I have observed a limitation, and find that my current coils help me burn less fuel
Love your truck bro
I have a 2015 Ram 2500 that I just purchased and would like to increase power and have it run as efficient as possible. Can you advise me on what 5 changes you would start with and the name of the parts you would use and do.
Hey man can you get with me on the shift points you used I'm trying to help my wife's Tahoe get better power and fuel mileage im using the super chip tuner
keep the badge . even a stock 5.3L vortec is a strong motor as is. plus all those mods you got. good job. i got a tahoe 03 with 5.3 L with 98MI .i was considering doin some mods so thanks for the info
I have an 04 with 86k on it. Great truck. Check engine light is on. I get a tighten gas cap msg. Replaced the gas cap brand new. Still get the msg. Don't know if it's o2 sensor or coil pack. But I was already looking at msd as a well deserved upgrade with fresh plugs and wires.
What type of electric fans are you running? I have an 04 Z71 Chevy Tahoe
Stock 4L60 went up so I'm using one from an 02 Blazer, and rebuilding the old core to a 4L65E til I can find an 80 to build and install
Then plan on running a larger intercooler with electric fans so she can handle the hills of WV better, then I plan on getting the MSD coils with NGK iridium plugs.
But I do want to upgrade to the X pipe, have the CAI
Msd coils in my 02 world of difference man
I wanta put a 5.3 engine in my 84 caprice classic..
Putting one in my ss impala
wondering how your truck would do against a 5.7 liter hemi truck
you noticed a change in fuel efficiency with Magnaflow? what was it, better or worse and how much?
Been trying to figure out what i can do to my 5.3 vortec on my avalanche and this really helped!! Yee
Ahm you have a plastic truck

That's exactly what I have done to my Silverado.
@@ridered7262 did you notice a big difference?
@Tom Wetz cam, cam, cam! Hello!👍
Tom Wetz what transmission would you recomend to sustain all that?
Did you do a video showing what settings you changed on the tuner? I have a superchips tuner on my 07 Avalanche with a 5.3L and I’m currently running the 87 octane tune.
I have my lovely stock 5.3 silverado LS and plan to keep it as stock as possible.
Only thing I'll change is damages from when I wreck it every so often and wear and tear replacements. It's a 2001 with 270,000 miles.
Have you had trouble with your dashboard cracking?
My 02 Z71 4x4 is a standard cab short wheel base and just turned over 306,000. Had the valve stem seals changed and exhaust manifold bolts replaced. Runs great, uses no oil and shifts positive. Gonna try to get 500K out of it. LOL
Number one change in lS is cam swap, exhaust, cold air, then tune!
Boost is cheaper and makes more power
You forgot long tube headers
@@elcompatavo9365 that is part of the exhaust digus
Billy Ray what do I get to make boost ?
@@kalebwhatley9320 procharger, supercharger, turbo/s.
Hey man, nice truck. I just don't agree with what you stated about supercharger vs turbocharger and using power to make power. Yes the supercharger takes direct power from the engine. But the turbo creates back pressure which is robbing power too. Thus using power to make power. Maybe not as much but it still is there. And your electric fan is just moving the power draw to your alternator. Now you can say the electric fans only use power when there on and I completely give that to you. But when they are on you're just pulling power from your engine via the alternator instead. But honestly I do love your truck man!
What kind of tune did you run in it and also What kind of electric fans are you running I know u said they were 10k cfu but are they double what brand are they thanks bro
Diggin that MSHA tape my dude haha I use on everything lol nice truck and awsome video
Can I do the same mods to my 4.8?
Better off boosting a 4.8 bro
I could roast you with my stock 6.0 gmc but you got a killer truck bro.
Sorry bro got u beat with turbocharged vortec 6200 6.2L V8
@@therealScopolamine fully build 6.6 duramax twin turbo ;)
nice truck i have a 2005 gmc sierra with 5.3 mine has the electic fans already wanting to get air and exhaust but wasnt sure what would be best .
When you did your plugs what gap did you go with? I just installed plugs in my 2002 Suburban 5.3L. I think the stock ones came as .060. No I'm hearing they recommend .040. The old ones I took out had .070 on them they were so worn.
Not exactly, you still need back pressure for your engine, so putting on the biggest sized pipe for your exhaust is not a good idea.
No, you don't. the only thing a big pipe could do that's bad is if it drastically reduced the velocity of the exhaust gasses, exhaust scavenging performance could be lessened. This is a really big deal on two stroke engines, but still applies to 4 strokes when seeking maximum performance
Engine Masters did a manifold vs header vs full exhaust test and discovered the back presssure really didn't do anything
No you don’t need back pressure but you have a point that you don’t want a huge tip
Back pressure is a myth that has been debunked
The truck has a little extra "pull" because those 10K RPM fans are SUCKING it down the road!!! LOL
Thoughts on a diablo stock tune? I’m not trying to burn the tires off or anything all I have is a cold air intake and I just
Want to disable v4 and add firm shifting
Torque management deleted is most of inTune can tunes. Zeroing fuel trims at cruse rpm. Add a little fuel and timing to compensate for intake and exhaust improvements.
I like to put 6.0 badges on my 6.2 and funny story everyone laughs and thinks its a 5.3/4.8 so people are always trying to race me with their slow trucks 😂😂
Ive had one truck race mine and I lost :) Knew I would, it was a tuned Duramax, prob pushing 600hp.
Hahaha even the 454 is slow a 305 and a 350 400 425 Cadillac engine is a lot faster than 5.3 and 454 Chevy ss why because it's to heavy
L Boss - maybe a built 305 or maybe they were better after 97. My dad had a Chevy 1500 with a 305 and that thing was a dog. Unless my buddies moms 92 four banger sunbird was real fast (it was not). I would also beat my buddys 98 350 with my 2000 5.3 every single time. Not that the 350 was a bad engine but the stock 305 was not impressive what so ever.
if u want to feel a difference get the extreme hd servo from global transmission for only 175 will definitely tell a difference or some headers would be nice especially with ur exhaust set up f*** paying 400 or whatever u said for coils u won’t even be able to feel or tell u did
Transmission is already built with the corvette servo
Will your tuner work on multiple vehicles...or is is manly for the 5.3?
I got a 04 burb w/230k ...not sure if I should try to tune it or if I'm a little late on its life spam....just tired of the bog while pulling the 27ft camper...whats your opinion?
04 suburban z71
233k
Everything factory
Will the Diablo tuners work with putting a cam in the 5.3 I have a 06 YukonXl I was thinking of a stage 2 or 3 low lift cam eventually and they come with the upgraded springs from texas speed performance plus porting and polishing the heads
Stock intakes pull in outside air. Your intake is sucking in hot engine bay air. Cold air is denser and makes more power
Hello There No, they dont, thats why theres a metal box around the intake so that the air comes in only from the bottom.
How's that different than stock?
@@jrcook927 The cold air intake pulls in fresher air from the bottom rather than through a small hole in the fender, more air means more fuel and more fuel means more power.
Want more power? Hood scoop over air box. High pressure cooler air forced into filter. Try propane injection. Cools egt in diesels. O2 sensor will adjust for rich condition
@@jatmomdadjt8744 yup what he said..i removed battery tray from bottom of air filter for more air
True dual and X-pipe are different. True dual means each side of the engine has its own exhaust line that never touches the other side
No scavenging.
I have a tuner for mine but it didn’t make much of a difference. What all should I adjust. I can adjust injector slope spark and a few others I don’t know what I should adjust to get the best gains.
I'm a Bow tie owner I have a 2001 Silverado 5.3 with a Magnusson supercharge pasesetters long tube headder with a com cam harden push rods and valve springs k&n air filter system it methanol injected higher flow injector with rebuild performance transmission. also Eaton poss rear end 3 inch exhaust flow master muffler let me put it like this it's crazy fast and some outher fun things.
