So I've been doing some searching around the boards for the questions I have below but have not found anything concrete. Thanks for taking a look and offering up any tips.

1. Will the "LSX" oil pan gasket on Texas-Speed work with the 5.3? I think they are universal but I am not 100%

2. I know I don't need 02 extensions for the front 02s for my upcoming Pacesetter LT install but I can't seem to find 02 sims for the rears anywhere.

3. This relates to the above ^. Can a handheld tuner eliminate any codes thrown in regards to the rear 02s? I already know a handheld tuner isn't going to do much in terms of performance but the truck does a good bit of towing (boats/waverunners/etc) and I find the towing "tunes" attractive. If I am completely in the wrong about that let me know. Is the Predator still a good handheld?

4. I am pretty sure the pacesetters will have the EGR stuff on them. Where can I get the EGR block off plates?

5. The pacesetter Longtubes and offroad x-pipe will be bolting up to the stock catback. I'm not looking for anything super loud but how badly is the stock catback hurting any gains achieved with the headers? Are there any negative effects for going untuned a bit after the longtube install outside of not running to the full benefit of the headers and leaving power on the table?

Thank you, that's it for now.

2. I know I don't need 02 extensions for the front 02s for my upcoming Pacesetter LT install but I can't seem to find 02 sims for the rears anywhere. Install the bungs for the rear 02 sensors, they are like $6 each

If I am completely in the wrong about that let me know. Is the Predator still a good handheld? I dont think any hand tuner will fix this for you.

4. I am pretty sure the pacesetters will have the EGR stuff on them. Where can I get the EGR block off plates? Id post where to get it but they are not a PT sponsor

I would install a 3" catback, stock size is 2.75"

Thanks man. Oil pan is leaking. Where can I grab these bungs? Truck has nearly 200k on it so hopefully this + tuneup will breathe some new life into it. And feel free to PM me with that recommendation!

Because the oil pan is leaking yoi dont need a new oil pan just the oil pan gasket.. not unless you are trying to get a oil pan that holds more oil..

D'oh. I meant to add gasket in there. I'm assuming the gasket is universal. Will reuse oil pan.
