My brother has an 02 Silverado and is thinking about putting headers and dual exhaust on it, is it even worth it? I know V8s tend to do well with headers but I don’t know if it’s worth the cost these days

Well he's already got a single into a Flowmaster then split to duals out the back and it sounds cool, but he's thinking a set of headers and true duals will give him some more HP and better MPG with a tune. He's already got a K&N intake on it too, but he's just wondering if the overall cost of doing that will be worth the results.

Will it still be relatively "streetable" with a cam tho.... Like it won't have a weird idle or anything will it? And will mpg suffer as well?

There's a guy on youtube that has great tear down and rebuilds of these and other transmissions with tips and tricks along the way too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLBe7CFWT3A

Any common issues that causes these trucks to have detonation under hard acceleration? My brother is getting it in his truck now, and he runs high octane in it to help in the Florida heat. I told him to back off on flooring it until we can figure out what the problem is

Well after a bit of searching looks like knock sensor issues probably, which requires removing the intake manifold ugh I'll have to run the codes, hopefully that's not it https://www.enginebuildermag.com/2012/05/audible-spark-knock-complaints-on-1998-02-gm-engines/ Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Apr 26, 2021 |

So how bad does the detonation wear on these motors, my brother seems to think it's not worth fixing. I told him he could possibly poo poo can the motor if he keeps driving it that way, especially if he's putting his foot in it like i know he likes to do

So I went to run the codes in my brothers truck and it keeps saying "ecu not connected" and he tells me the same thing happened when he tried having the codes read at a autozone. Something wrong with the port possibly?

But won't lowering it make the ride even worse? Comfort and pickup truck are not two things that go together.

Anything in particular that cause these trucks to burn oil? Does a quart a month sound excessive or normal  Was thinking of going to a heavier oil weight to see if that helps. I don't think it's the valve seals (no smoke on start up) so maybe piston rings.

It's got 180k on it. He said it's not leaking, has been putting cardboard under it to check and nothing. I figured rings too. What's about the heaviest oil weight you can go with these? It's in Florida so winter temps aren't an issue here. I figured switching to a heavier weight would help at least a little.
