Last C5

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.

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.

I found the 1/4 inch spacers on E-Bay for about $12. I don't think I would have bought the company's lift kit, but their spacers looked OK and they sold them separately. The 1/2" spacers will probably work fine, there is a lot of travel in those shocks.

My 2014 has the voice prompts. You can turn them off.

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.

Thanks!

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

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.

I have the 6.2 so I run 92 or 93 depending on where I gas up.

That seems right on target. I installed mine on the top slot and added a 1/4" spacer under the fronts and I'm setting at 39" front and 40" in the rear.

No, that's actually a few dollars high. They sell between $75 and $85 usually.

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.

It sure will.

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.

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.

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.

Just finished my install of a set of 5100s. I set the front shocks at their upper most position and installed a 1/4" spacer under the bottom of the front shocks. I ended up with 2" of lift at the center line of the front wheels and the ride is just as comfortable as it was stock. The truck seems to handle a bit better in the curves and that 57 Buick Special feeling is gone. I had already installed an extra 1" of lift on the rear necessitated when I installed some Firestone air bags for towing my car trailer. Now the top of front fender well is 39" off the ground and the top of the rear fender well is 40". Totally happy with the truck's stance and ride.

YES!!! Pictures and reviews, please!

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.

If you were running a winch, boat trailer winch, small camper, or something similar the second battery is good to have.
