Is it a pain to go from a 6'' lift to just leveled, most lifts require cutting on chevys, can you weld the stuff back on? Utah lift laws are getting old, I think the truck would look better leveled then it does with mud flaps and giant fender flares. Also much fuel mileage difference with out the lift and 35's?

The only place that might get sticky is the front crossmember. I'd check the manufacturer's directions and see what modifications were made to install it. I'm sure it is reversible if one is willing to put in the work.

Did you buy the truck with the lift on it?? Why do you want to take it off?? For towing/hauling?

 

 

Yes the lift was on it when I bought it, I just wanted to take it off for less wear and tear on the leather because I dont have steps and hopefully better fuel mileage and speed, It is supercharged and I just put a built Katech motor in it also the highway patrol is always pulling me over for something so it gets to be more of a pain then its worth. probably could of bought amp steps or flares for all the citations and impounds i've had to pay (mudflaps, flares, tint, smoked lights) All I have left to do is the flares but I cant justify buying decent looking ones like the bushwackers when only my front tires stick out about a 1/2 inch

I know what you mean, I had a 87 Chevy with 10" lift and 3" body lift running 42" Super Swampers even though my bumper height was legal it didnt look like it and I was always getting pulled over and getting my bumpers checked. It got to be so much of a pain in the butt I removed everything and put it back to stock (I saved all my parts when I built it).

 

I did get a fix it ticket once for mud flaps I put them on and it looked like hell and thats when I said iam done. Just not worth it sometimes. Yes I did off road with the truck so it wasnt a street queen. It was used what it looked like it would do.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
