  1. Looking for what else you guys recommend to replace. I Noticed one of my tie rod grease boots was busted, planning to replace both inner and outer tie rods, sway bay end link, sway bar bushings. Anything else while I’m under there and have to get an alignment? Mileage is at 78,000 miles. Looking to use MOOG parts. Running 33’s so if anyone else has upgraded to something beefier let me know!
  2. @Capt Bob @rav3 I checked that ground and it’s all clear of insulation. I checked and cleaned up all the chassis grounds including both negative battery cable grounds. I ended up replacing my starter and that made it start normally BUT I’ve driven it twice now and both times the gauges went wonky and got service messages for about 45 seconds one time each drive and then doesn’t happen again. My battery is 4yrs old so I’m thinking I’ll just replace it also. Also I read some old posts about ECM getting some smoked circuits on it and causing weird issues. Read anything on that before?
  3. Past couple weeks gauges have been going crazy and giving error messages for service trailer brake, service 4WD. Truck drives fine when this is going on radio and lights still work and had never cut off on me when driving. Then last weekend and today it wouldn’t start at all, just acted completely dead with no turn over or clicking but battery was at 12.4v. Took battery to AutoZone Twice now and their tool said battery/alternator are good. I checked the grounds and cleaned the 4 on the frame. They looked fine but wire brushed them anyway. Anyone else had this issue? Wondering if starter or ignition switch?
  4. What part numbers are you guys getting for the injectors? The ones that came out of my truck are 12668390, dealership said new replacement part was 12684125, but then looks like 12698484 is the newest part. I ordered 12698484 from GM wholesale dealer, box says 12698484 but the injector is stamped 12681212. Seems like a lot of conflicting info on this fuel injector issue.. 12681212 (that I just got in today) is grouped with 12668390 (that came out of my truck) under the latest replacement number so I'm guessing I can use these. Everywhere is back ordered so I guess I'm lucky I even got these
  5. Do you have a picture of either set up? Trying to get a reference of wheel size with a 285/60. I'm with you on 295/60 vs 305/55 route and why I'm trying to see what other people have done. I think the 305/55 may be too small of an OD. I'd really prefer not to run a wheel spacer, enough people are hesitant to make me not want to even go down that road.
  6. What tire setups are people running with Bilstein 5100's and Body lift? Been searching around and havent found too much luck. Tire options on stock 18" wheels (+24mm offset I believe) are pretty much: 275/70, 285/70 or 295/70. Thinking the 295/70 may be too much tire and rub sway bar. Wheel liner will be zip tied. Current setup: Bilstein 5100 at full height 1.5" Zone body lift
  7. Looking for any pictures with wheel color other than black or chrome. Anyone have any bronze or gunmetal?
  8. Does anyone attend any truck nights or meets in or around SC? Moved to Charleston about a year and a half ago and haven't seen anything so just wondering what you guys do!
  9. anyone order one of these recently? I tried calling my dealership but they said they need my VIN to verify it...
  10. What style of bowtie is everyone using to color match their grille bowtie? I would like to have the insert painted and have the chrome trim. But online sites never really clearly state how the bowtie comes (with chrome surround, if you have to drill out the gold, full replacement) and if its plastic or billet. Looking for a part number for a powder coated billet insert with or without the chrome trim included.
  11. I think you saw my previous post with the vinyl squares? If not, its back a couple pages. Was never able to find a direct match, a couple I found were exact looking head on but when you moved the side it was way off. The depth of this color is extremely unique that it doesn't seem like a vinyl could duplicate it. From my understanding its the same with powdercoating, they don't use automotive paint codes so you're back to square 1 with looking for something you can "deal with" unless you just take it to a paint shop and get them to spray X pieces.
  12. Same thing happened to mine but was constant, drove me nuts. Sounded like the rear end bearings were bad. Ended up being the flapper valve, dealer replaced it with a new one.
  13. I've always used Flowmasters on my past 2 trucks (Super 40 and Super 10) and put a 14" Maganflow on my '15 about a month ago. Never had any problems with Flowmaster at all and they sound great, specially that 10 - sounded like I had a cam on idle and would scream when you got on it lol! Magnaflow is quieter but I think has a more quality, solid deep sound, probably due to the "acoustical packing" where as Flowmaster uses baffles. Can't go wrong with either IMO and about the same $
  14. Pics & Video. Unfortunately GoPro didn't catch the sound that great but figured I would post anyway. Definitely a more mild tone than the Flowmaster 10 duals I had on my 2003 Z71 but still an aggressive tone and its definitely louder in person. -Dynomax exhaust kit 38531 -Magnaflow 11229 (14x9) -Summit Racing SUM-691201 double wall dual tip (identical to Corsa tip but a lot cheaper)
