Good to hear you got it figured out. Did you grease the upper ball joints before you put the caps on? I don’t believe mine were greased from the factory so I greased them when I installed them.

Did the passenger side today. Seemed worse than the drivers side. I’ll check back in 5000 miles or when the low oil light comes on - whichever comes first. on another note - went to do sway bar bushings and 3 of 4 bolts broke. Gotta love New England.

Appreciate everyone's help and suggestions. I am going to man up on this one and admit my stupidity. I had the lower control arms on the wrong side and obviously upside down. I should have disassembled and then assembled 1 side at a time. Instead I disassembled both side ones night, cleaned up, and then reassembled the next night. It's amazing how closely everything still lines up with the arms on the wrong side. Close enough that I was able to get one side loosely bolted up. As soon as I went to put the knuckle on and saw that the hole for the lower ball joint to fit into was tapered the wrong direction it hit me what I had done. Once I swapped the LCA's the passenger side bolted right up imagine that. On the driver side I did have to compress the spring again and rotate it 180deg. Once I did that the angle of the shock and mounting ears all lined up as well. Have not got the new tires mounted and alignment yet (later this week), but the improvement was definitely noticeable over the worn OE shocks. I did end up getting rid of the 1/2" Rough Country strut spacer and then adjusted the Eibach's up all the way to the 2.5" setting. No rubbing on the Superlift UCA like I had with the OE one with the same tires. Did not need the wheel spacers.

In the top photo, option E ( the bottom dipstick ), I always find very satisfying for some reason after I've run the engine to fill the filter and after a period of time check the level and see that hard to see translucent oil at the area of the full mark ( and typically check the next morning to confirm the exact settled level ).

I'm 62 and bought a slightly used '22 Corvette late June '23. So I'm familiar with the sit first then bring the legs in method :). The truck I spec'd out in the pic includes some very expensive GM step bars. I like them. They look good, but I can buy a set of Iconic 3" round step bars for ~$160, vs the $850 for the GM bars.

Some people are struggling to fill their gas tank.

Buy a van

Saw $3.76/87 in my travels yesterday, fuel oil down to $3.95

Love it! Reg Cab guys are a small minority. Most available trucks will be white, black or silver. Mine has been perfect so far. But I haul more stuff than people. Reg Cab/Standard Bed are easier to park. No issues with the 2.7L after 50K, however I change the oil every 3K because of the turbo and direct injection.

You guys won't do anything. You will make him pay a $250 diagnostic fee and hopefully try and find the issue. This has been a known issue with these trucks. If GM says safety is a top priority then GM would make this a recall or some special coverage like the vacuum pump issue.

Indeed it does.

every truck needs a companion

I bought it a trailer
