K&N Cabin filter

I have been using k&n for over 30 years, engine and cab air. I currently have a 4dr civic with 225,000 miles and a silverado v6 with 315,000 miles, both bought new. Both have had k&n filters since the first week of ownership. All have been cleaned and reoiled at least once a year, cabin usually twice. They all look great, and engines do not consume any more oil than when they were new. The savings in waste and money are ridiculous if you buy things and keep them. If you prefer to change vehicles frequently, probably not for you...

Pros: long lasting, cost savings
Vehicle: Chevrolet Silverado

Gates Water pump

Update: it was the water pump. Got a new Gates water pump (screws and gasket included). Installed it, no sealant or anything. Works flawlessly. Not a drop anywhere.

Pros: works flawlessly, no leaks

DELPHI Fuel pump

About 1-2 years ago I put a brand new Delphi pump in my 5.3 Silverado. Been great since. Don't let that tank get below ¼ and it'll last a LONG LONG time.

Pros: been great since

AC DELCO Brake pads

Honestly I used to like powerstops until i put a set of them on on my 16 and they seemed to go out of round in one year. Switched the acdelco towing rated ones on rock auto and they have been the best. Not only over 2.5 years with them still smoothly operating, but the fitment was the best. Everything went together as it should, no need to even file a single ear on the pad.

Pros: smooth operation, best fitment
Cons: powerstop wore out quickly
Part number: SDPR210TK, SDPR245TK

Wix Fuel filter

Rating 4.0

I have 115,000km on my 2022 LM2 Silverado. So far it's been great, but some people have experienced serious issues on older ones. Gm is constantly improving this little motor. Lessons I've learned myself or through several forums and family members with the same motors:\n\n- Fuel additives seem to get better mpg and less regens \n- Only available oils are amsoil, mobil 1 and OEM. (Amsoil isn't dexos certified though)\n- Oil changes are pricey compared to gas, cheap compared to bigger diesels. I pay $250 CAD \n- Known to crack radiators (top right side) as well as water pump leaks. \n- Many people tend to replace the MAP sensor or clean it after a while to make it run smoother, it's a cheap part. \n- Doesn't seem to burn oil, but mine is consuming a little coolant lately (I suspect radiator).\n- The factory fuel filter is 5 micron but Wix makes a 2 micron replacement. Cheap and easy to do yourself. I pay around $50 CAD\n- Everyone online thinks they have blow by, they don't, just have a lot of crankcase pressure\n- Mine seems to misfire when started in weather colder than -15C for about a minute until warm. \n- A10 trans is smooth but has the odd rough downshift, I also follow the severe service interval table and change fluids with amsoil and new gm filter \n- Def consumption is never an issue other than towing. If towing anything heavy bring a jug or two. It will go into limp mode when you run out.

Pros: better mpg, less regens
Cons: pricey oil changes, radiator cracks

Rough Country Shock absorbers
Crafty_Note_8686
  • Body bounce:
Rating 3.0

I did a rough country lift on my Silverado. The shocks aren’t bad but they definitely aren’t great. It handles bumps better than it did when it was stock but I’ll definitely be upgrading to bilsteins when these shocks go bad.

Pros: handles bumps better
Cons: aren’t bad but aren’t great

Toyo Tires
No-Land-7209
  • Grip:
  • Noise:
Rating 1.0

Have Toyo at3 on my 2024 3500 Silverado srw. Previously had Goodyear duratracs. The only upside to these at3 is the quietness of them. They are worse than the Goodyears in every other category. I’m in Saskatchewan Canada… combination of highway pavement miles, gravel road driving. Found them to be the least favourite tire I have ever ran in the winter. They currently have 37000km / 23000M and I’d guess they are at 25% tread left. Won’t be getting another set.

Pros: quietness of them
Cons: worse than goodyears, winter
Mileage: 37000 km

Cooper Tires

Rating 1.0

I bought coopers about 3 years ago for my Silverado 1500. I will be honest this isn't an apples to apples comparison, I bought 4 ply (first mistake) AT3 4s's. They are cracking between the tread blocks on all 4 tires. Cooper won't warranty them saying it's just cosmetic, but they are deep cracks that go all the way around the tires between tread blocks on the inside and outside. I don't use chemicals or tire shine, and they are always kept at the appropriate pressures. They also lose chunks of tread every time i take them on the gravel roads in the mountains. I'm not happy with them at all, so my recommendation is to go with the K03's.

Cons: cracking between tread blocks
