You nailed it I realized that my freshly paved driveway have all kind off mini slope to evacuate the rain toward ditch . My measurement were somewhat consistent since I was parking the truck almost at the same place everytime. We are going on a trip next week and I will have the chance to stop on a scale, here we have acces for free outside the spring season or during a surprise inspection for trucker. A scale should be perfectly level so Ill have the final verdict. So far the pictures sent by my dealer with the truck on the alignment pit are telling me that the truck is within gm spec .... 42 + - 1/2

Well I pulled about a gallon out, gonna do it again after a little bit. Will keep anyone curious updated if I have any issues

google it . that exist

I'm not an A/C guy but doesn't the refrigerant become a gas when not compressed? I don't think it's possible. It would evaporate. You might have a little A/C oil mixed and I would also think that the A/C system could be contaminated with ATF. Not good. I would have a new condenser & filter installed, flush & recharge A/C. Then flush the transmission, install new transmission filter & see what happens. Good luck getting the dealer to eat that one.

Do keep in mind if you measure a vehicle with items in the box and lets just say heavy items are all to one side vs centered from side to side and also would apply to items in the cab as well as people biased to one side or the other. Of course it takes more to affect an HD truck over a half ton or a car/small suv. More than likely some large stores huge parking lot would have a fairly level parking lot in areas of it as long as its not near a storm sewer .... and as I grin, I wonder if this struggle does indeed prove that the earth is round rather than flat

So in the times that you have measured, has the front stayed constantly the same left vs right ? Also and this may sound odd but is the area your parking on actually level, an example would be a cement floor in a garage that was built with a gentle multi profiled slope that allowed water to make its way to a drain etc, or its an outdoor pad that was poured in a few sections and not actually level across the board. Not saying that is the situation with where your truck is parked and measuring but if a surface has a contour that allows for opposite tires of each axle to be higher that would cause those corners to carry more of the vehicles weight and the other two tires diagonally less. In fact in a lot of commercial shops that are set up to run to gutter drains, there isn't a flat spot to be had in a shop designed like that. Anyway thought I would pass that by you in case you ever felt like measuring the truck in another location and drive yourself batty in the process LOL.

1 1/2 is my mistake , but its definitly 1 inches ... the spec call for 42 + - 1/2 inches ... so Im really close to be level, the l/s is dead on 42 ... the other side 43 ... Im ok with that .... I prefer that then seeing them playing shimming or Gods know what, i have no drivability issue so all is good

Probably gonna pull the plug since I'm tired of the plasti dip coming off at the fog light seams. They did give me a discount code if anyone else wants it GMCNATION10 They said to let them know if there's any other overlays people would like to see for past/present models. They've mainly seen demand from Ford and Toyota truck owners.

You are correct, the torsion bars (@ least back in the GMT400 days) were set a about 15 or 20 minutes before gas fill. We were building 60 jobs per hour, so each operator has a minute to do their job on each truck. That being said, I think it would be possible to fill a truck off line & then adjust the bars so that tge truck was level. Take what was found and apply it to the specs for adjustment. From my memory and we're going back to 1988, the adjustment fixture was symmetrical from side to side. As Ive said elsewhere, I dont recall seeing a similar fixture being used on 'the flat top' conveyor during the GMT800 or GMT900 model runs. Maybe it was adjusted in the Chassis Area after the front suspension is fully assembled? I didnt have much to do w/ that area, so I cant say anything certain about the later assembly procedures.

Yesterday my physiotherapist reported that I have made good progress with my shoulder replacement surgery and now have no restrictions. Today I see my surgeon and will learn when I can expect my knee replacement! It wasn't that long ago I was upset to know I need two major joints replaced. Now I'm looking forward to my next surgery and hope it happens soon! If you have been recommended for joint replacement, I recommend you say yes. My shoulder replacement was a perfect example of short term pain for long term gain. I have just been through 12 weeks of steady improvement and now have more pain free mobility in my "bad" shoulder than I've had in years. As a bonus, it will continue to get better!

Nah, just camouflaged really well. It's definitely on the 2 door that was spotted. You can see it better in this second picture, just above the driver's door window. If anything it goes to the larger but lower one from the 2025 Tahoe/Suburban:
