  1. That's an odd issue. I know a guy with a '17 Chev 1500, lifted 6" and 35's. He's never had issues like that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I can definitely notice mine switch over. It's not as pronounced as the MSDS on the Ram that I owned, but I feel it. I think probably because if I'm light on the throttle, it will sometimes feel as though it's hesitating or trying to figure out whether to be in 4 or 8. I'm going to add a little tidbit in here as well. I had a 2007 Tahoe LTZ that suddenly went into limp mode and threw codes. Traction Control and Stabilitrak lights came on. I had a misfire on cylinder 1, because the intake valve was not opening. I brought it in and they found the issue to be caused by the AFM. They said that it wore out the rockers and wore a lobe off the camshaft. They also told me this was a common problem due to the fact that you're essentially "dragging" along four cylinders when the motor goes into 4 cylinder mode. The cost to tear down the motor was the same as to swap in a used one. This happened at 170,000 kms. Like I said, they dealt with many of these same scenarios. That being said, I bought a 2017 with the same feature, so obviously it didn't sway me from getting a new truck. Perhaps this issue has been worked out in the newer generation motors?

  3. LOTS of shopping mall or office building garages are 6'6" clearance around here. Some are more, but generally not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Thanks!!!
  5. What's the height of your roof now? Basically what I mean is, what clearance is required for you to be able to get into a parking garage. I'm only asking because this is the lift I am considering.. Thanks
  6. Thanks for this!!
  7. I'll let them know when I bring it in for the first service. Thanks for the advice.
  8. Please let us know what they say. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. The left wiper streaks all the time on my '17 All-Terrain. Only have 4500 kms on it. I'll be replacing them STAT!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Thanks! When I input my vehicle though, it says it does not fit. Maybe something changed for 2017?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Does this also fit the 1500? The description says it fits the 2500. I'm assuming the thread is the same? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Bayshore is a bit of a gong show.....My antenna hits the signs, but the roof clears....
  13. Good to know! I'm still pondering a bigger suspension lift, or levelling for now. Which kit did you go with?
  14. Do you ever load the back with a decent amount of weight? Just curious if your headlights face the sky when you do or not. HAHA!!
  15. Red vs. Blue. Definitely like the red better.....Personal preference of course, but it also flows well with the red stitching of the All-Terrain.
  16. This one is from the other day. Impossible to keep clean this time of year!
  17. Different strokes for different folks for sure. I think the red/white looks more "premium" so to speak. The blue colour reminds me of a Chevy Cavalier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Here's the new dash. This is from my '17 All-Terrain. I prefer the red and white to be honest. The blue looks 'cheap'. 'EDIT'. Never mind. Apparently Tapatalk won't attach the image for me. Piece of crap!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Thanks for the input. I appreciate it. The BDS kit with Coil-Over IFS system is now $3500 USD plus tax. So $4500+13% tax for me here in Canadian dollars. Add shipping I guess as well unless I can find it locally. The kit without coil-overs is about $1500 USD less, so it's a pretty significant price difference. I'm curious if the ride is also going to suck without the coil-over system, or if it's still going to be head and shoulders better than some of the cheaper kits?
  20. Believe me, I've read MOST of them. The problem is there is no actual consensus. As with most things that people have purchased or own, the opinions are swayed towards what they have on their trucks. So it's hard to get a good idea of what's "best" or works the "best" for certain applications. For example, and no offense intended, but you've recommended a lift kit that you own. A good friend of mine who is a mechanic, says he wouldn't buy anything except Cogito. Guess what...that's what he has on his own truck. That's not saying BDS and Cogito aren't top notch, but as other posts have mentioned within these 208 pages plus in other threads, some shops say they are overboard. I don't have an opinion either way, but if I'm on the pavement 90% of the time, and a BDS 4" lift without coil overs is going to be great, then coil overs might be more than I need. I'm just asking about options for lifts, without buying the highest priced/quality kit necessarily. Rough Country vs. BDS. What are the differences that make one "cheap" or ride rougher than stock, in comparison to BDS for example? Would this be only specific to the kit with coil overs? Or the BDS kit without them as well? I'm not a suspension expert...So at first glance, many of these kits offer the same or similar parts. Just looking for some insight.
  21. Looks good! Quick question for you. How are the CV angles with that lift? I was looking at their 4" system for my 2017 Sierra, and I'm curious to know what the angles are like or if their system adjusts for this. There are over 200 pages to look through, so I thought I'd ask the question. In general is their a lift that would be considered "least risk" or wear? I know their systems relocate th front dif, but I've seen some random pictures of lifts in this forum, where the angle is ridiculous. I'm guessing this is not the case with BDS? What about with ReadyLift or Rough Country? I'm not concerned with hardcore off-roading clearance etc....I would never use that kind of system to its full potential, as I'm mostly on pavement or slightly off-road. Thanks in advance for any input.
  22. After reading about this topic A LOT, I feel bad for those having to deal with this, but at the same time, I'm crossing my fingers that GM has rectified the issue for '17. I only have 4000 kms on my Sierra, but I have had zero vibration or shake issues.
