  1. I used the 1.5" lift of the Bilstein 5100 shocks and a small shim to get a full 2" lift in the front. I added the 1" taller block that comes with the Firestone Air Bag kit to lift the rear an additional inch and I think it rides just fine. The slightly stiffer front end actually makes the truck handle better.
  2. Use an isolator, but not an electronic one unless your father in law owns an isolator factory and gives them to you for free. A standard Ford starter solenoid will do exactly the same thing and will outlast an isolator 20 to 1.
  3. My 2014 has the voice prompts. You can turn them off.
  4. It will approximate your oil temperature. A little less, but it's getting it's pass through air right off the valley of your engine.
  5. What part number(s) did you order. I assume that's a Cadillac cover with a Chevy circle bowtie? Looks really good. Doug Last C5
  6. I have a couple of Elite cans and the older one has a petcock. Elite discontinued the petcocks around 2006 so drilling and tapping the bottom of one of the new ones should work fine.
  7. I have the 6.2 so I run 92 or 93 depending on where I gas up.
  8. No, that's actually a few dollars high. They sell between $75 and $85 usually.
  9. The breather is usually used on competition motors. My track car runs three catch cans and they all have breathers. Our trucks don't need them and on the dirty side they would throw a code.
  10. NO! NO! Version 2 has the OPTION of having a breather. You don't have to install the breather and they give you a nice O ringed plug if you decide to keep your system closed. If you can find version 2 as cheap as version 1 go for it. The outlets on the version 2 more horizontal than the original ADD cans and I think more horizontal than version 1 which makes them fit our trucks a little better. It's splitting hairs either way. Any ADD can will work quite well.
  11. Thank you. I used AN -10 (5/8") push to lock hose on the the two clean air catch cans (mounted on the cowl) and standard pcv 3/8" hose on the dirty side catch can (mounted on the left fender). I bought two replacement OEM clean air hoses and one OEM dirty side hose and cut the fittings off them to use for all engine attachments. Probably would be cheaper to just buy the ends, but I couldn't find them at the time.
  12. OK, I'm catch canned. Before you flame me, I catch canned both the clean and dirty sides of my 6.2 because from what I've seen of LS engines there is no clean side. I really like these ADD 1W catch cans, some of the best on the market.

  14. No, the standard alternator would charge both. Most people would run and isolator or solenoid on the second battery so it could be drained separately from the main starting battery.
  15. If you were running a winch, boat trailer winch, small camper, or something similar the second battery is good to have.
  16. I had Ranchos first and Pro Comps second on my Ford 4X4 1 ton, both of them gave up the ghost in short order. Did the last 40K before I sold it on Bilsteins - no problems.
  17. I,m sold, how hard was it to install?
  18. I just swapped out my black window molding for chrome on my double cab. If anybody is interested in getting chrome moldings for their double cab Chevrolet, here are the GMC part numbers. CHROME DOUBLE CAB Part # 22798969 $49.69 22798970 $49.18 22894310 $54.82 22894311 $54.82
  19. The off road suspension gets you the aluminum suspension. My double cab LTZ has the standard suspension and I have the steel control arms.
