  1. it only lifted the truck like 2.25" they will rub the liners around full lock on a off level surface. ive never done anything about that as it barely ever rubs but i could probly tie the liners back a little and it would go away
  2. i have 35x12.5's on a ebay level block, norcal fender mod, and i think a 1.5" body lift
  3. years ago i had a hole in the top of my snowmobile piston from water ingestion riding through powdery snow. could maybe be water in the gas?
  4. couldnt agree more. ive never really thought of that before i just figured the guy who engineered the trans tuning was drunk when he did it
  5. Even when i had TPMS that light came on so often it might as well have just stayed lit. Any night the temp dropped that puppy would be on it the morn. Youll save a lot of te and money by learning to just live with it like just like we all live with the terrible trans tuning
  6. why even bother getting tpms? i havent had them for 2-3 years now it doesnt make the truck do anything different
  7. well my powertrain warranty was up a while back it will be good to see the guys at the dealer again its been a while since I've spent some time there
  8. well my powertrain warranty was up a while back it will be good to see the guys at the dealer again its been a while since I've spent some time there
  9. so are they replacing the pump or just tuning it?
  10. how hard is it to do yourself? whats the stupid part cost? is it cheaper than causing an accident and getting a lawyer?
  11. damn only reason i bought my rig was because of the 100k powertrain coverage haha
  12. i guess no one cares about us peasants with the 6 speed issues
  13. wait so the 16+ trucks dont have the 100k powertrain?
  14. wheres all the clowns that say there arent any shifting problems with these trucks now?
  15. so far yep its been trouble free. Although the tuning still sucks and it usually has no idea what gear to be in when driving in city traffic
  16. they replaced my valve body first when I brought mine in for the transmission shifting issues. Then they replaced 1 more thing every time I brought it back until I got a reman transmission form GM. Hope your issue is resolved but if it starts screwing up again bring is back to them asap
  17. classic k2xx transmission tuning
  18. catch can and AFM disabling seem to be a gm truck forum myth. most vehicles over 100k are all stock
  19. good to know, im going to try this on my way home from work tonight. good write up thanks
  20. I had brought mine in probably 10 times for the sh!tty transmission and they replaced different internals every time until I finally flipped out and made them get me a complete new trans. that was at 96k miles right before my powertrain was up. The "new" trans is somewhat better but the truck is still not peppy at all and it has no idea what gear to be in when you let off the gas pedal and then get back on it. At least it doesn't downshift so hard your drink spills...for now Chevy missed the mark with these trucks. Good looks and good interior but the drivetrain is trash. I surely wont be getting another anytime soon. I try and tell everyone who is thinking of buying a new chevy to drive it and see how terrible the trans is.
  21. I think it will tow anything better than a corolla but worse than a dmax
  22. The lemon law is a PITA to do. I probably had to bring my truck back and forth to the dealer 15 times but finally got a new trans out of them. Truck is out of warranty now and at 113k miles. I put 35" tires on it too and so far the shifting is back to normal.
  23. checkout my thread. I have more miles on my truck than most. long story short there is no fix for this, the new trucks have shitty transmission tuning. mine got so bad it ended up screwing up other stuff and I had to have my transmission replaced (after they replaced pretty much every part inside and it wasn't fixed.) my trans went out at ~93k miles. I never towed heavy just a lot of highway driving for work. I think they tell you its normal or you dont have the most up to date tune because they honestly have no idea whats wrong and hope that your truck goes out of warranty before any expensive repair is needed. my truck has 115k now, im going to start saving for a transmission
