TTQ B4U Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Pencil me in Tim. I'd like to get it done asap, before the Ohio weather gets to the paint anymore. Let me Know what package makes the most sense. I'd like fully sealed and polished, if I can afford it, lol. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk I'll PM you details.

Not Brian Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Pretty much anywhere. Kits are around $6500. Install/tune won't be $3500. And hold a factory warranty for 5yrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryBMW Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 That's a sweet truck! I didn't realize you could buy that with a factory warranty...badass! I would level it...but I'm not a fan of lowered trucks. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstmg8 Posted May 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 How’s it compare to the GL?Pulls a lot harder. I'd still like to get the tune on the GL though, that thing Impresses me every time I steal it from the wife. She did lose the front coolant line the other day though. She's supposed to be scheduling it for warranty repair. I hose clamped it [emoji15] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 The warranty is one big difference, if I don't mod it further, and I don't have to tell you of all people about the fun of a sleeper. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Oh trust me, I dig the hell out of this!!! Great pick up. If you can show me where I can get a complete blower setup installed and tuned for that much, they've got my money. I honesty don't know what he paid. Only pricing I saw as on the Cadillacs and it was a 30k option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that it's a 2018 model, so almost two model years behind despite only having 200 miles on it.

aussiek2000 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 If I decided to go this route, what would be the best method? I can Google obviously, just curious since you see these trucks.

cstmg8 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Already seeing the mod vs warranty issue, lol. I was told by a friend that this truck hits the speed limiter at 98mph. That'll kill quarter mile fun. Would just turning off the limiter show up as a "tune" at the dealer? Should my friend just have a full Dyno tune done? Thanks for any advice you can give him.

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Yes it would be a change in calibration and that’s all it takes. GM only requires checking the calibration files in the event of total assembly replacement ie have the replace engine assembly or transmission assembly. So unless you get some tech or service manager that suspects abuse and checks, it will likely never come up but that’s the risk. Simply have a faulty injector or something and it will be a non-issue. A Callaway vehicle would be an interesting grey area, I realize they have a warranty but it’s not a GM calibration it would be a Callaway calibration. May be hard to handle a warranty claim like an engine outside of a Callaway dealership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to doubt their service department, probably very capable, the manager just told me that they'd never kept one local. Which dealership are you at Cordell?

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk I’m at Dan Tobin Chevy. I worked at Dave Gill when they were a Callaway dealer (don’t think they are anymore) and I remember replacing an ECM once and it being a big ordeal, getting a new one, learning it to the car, taking it back out and sending it to Callaway. Never seen an engine replaced in one so I’m not sure how it would go. Coincidentally the new service manager at Coughlin Pataskala is my old service manager from Dave Gill during that time, so he may be the best option if you got into a situation like that.

Apparently I have to be careful about the dealership flashing it as well. I may have him contact Callaway about a speed limiter removal, but it sounds like it wouldn't be an issue since the dealership can't do my tune anyway.
