  1. If it’s sold at Walmart or at your local automotive parts store it’s an over the counter product. Ordering it and having it delivered to your door is not an over the counter product. Capeesh? Sent from Above
  2. Not a good idea discussing about it here, insecure Trolls from every crack and crevice pop out. Black02silverado would be the best to ask, he’s an expert in the field. Trolls complain whenever something is mentioned that’s not an over the counter product. Sent from Above
  3. I told him I was getting 10psi higher at full throttle and he said that’s excellent [emoji1303] and also asked if I was still using Amsoil, I said absolutely, he said that was great. As long as I have receipts of my purchases then everything is good for just Incase GM wants to see oil change maintenance records in the event of any issues. HA, not while using Amsoil! Taking it in next week for a Transmission checkup, he’ll be running diagnostics on it making sure everything is as it should be.... Btw, black02silverado is an Authorized Amsoil Dealer, excellent guy! Sent from Above
  4. Personally, I’ll NEVER switch again. Because I’m using Amsoil Filters I’ll be changing my oil every 5K miles. I know, should go longer, just me and how I do things. Got this from my Service Manager today, minimum oil pressures for my 6.2 Sent from Above
  5. Same exact thing happened to me with the XP, freaked me out. Amsoil filters keep my oil pressure at approximately 37-43psi, 43-45 higher rpm [emoji6] Sent from Above
  6. Went back to Amsoil after two separate XP filters kept leaking requiring lots of over tightening. Bet it was due to the super lubricity of Amsoil on the outer filter ring lol! Sent from Above
  7. I’ve been using Lucas Fuel Treatment forever, it’s actually kept my vehicles out of the shop, it’s an excellent product annnnd, I get it wholesale lol. Sent from Above
  8. The suspense is killing me, do it already! [emoji41] Sent from Above
  9. I just keep restocking every time I do an oil change, Transfer Case, Front and Rear Diffs Sent from Above
  10. It’s what everyone tries to compete with. It started 1972, introduced the first ever pure 100% Synthetic (NOT Full Synthetic) motor oil. Just like “Franks Red Hot Sauce” I put that sh/7 on everything lol! Sent from Above
  11. And this is why I DO NOT BUY USED! Lol Sent from Above
  12. Not a necessity, just peace of mind. Kinda like your first oil change and then second, you never buy a new truck and do your first oil change at 7500, earliest the better as your motor is breaking in its shedding lol. Your transmission is no different. To each their own but my next one is when it hits 50k miles, less than $200 every 2-3yrs is a lot cheaper than transmission breakdowns that could’ve been avoided on these 8speeds don’t you think? Sent from Above
  13. Had mine dropped, new filter at 20k miles, Sent from Above
  14. You’re reminding that it takes a lot of that to get to where you’re at, you’re the 1% of this forum, kudos to you, outstanding work. Sent from Above
  15. Dieselfan1, I can picture you drooling right now [emoji1786] Sent from Above
  16. Outstanding! Sent from Above
  17. Outstanding! It’s one thing to look at your truck but geez, I can feel the heat from here! You’ve got lots of passion into your truck and it shows, congratulations! Sent from Above
  18. Congratulations, hope you enjoy it. Post pics Sent from Above
  19. I remember a buddy of mine in college had the big Jimmy with the diesel, slow and noisy engine but later flipped it while trying to go up a steep muddy hill. Good thing he didn’t have the top off that time. Sent from Above
  20. Tires, you’re still stock or you going up in size? Sent from Above
  21. Truck looks good. Btw, you still stock? Sent from Above
  22. That’s your assumption, lots of people claim the same exact negative reaction after leveling with just a 2” level. My level was just 2.25” that’s 1/4 of an inch taller than a 2” and rode like crap. Both, your UCA’s, LCA’s and CV’s are different angles. My neighbors kid did the Bilstein 1 3/4” level and claimed it rode rougher. Ride changes anytime you change the angles of your suspension. I’m done, good luck to you all. Here are just a few out of hundreds of complaints after leveling Sent from Above
  23. It completely changes the geometry of your suspension Sent from Above
  24. Yours are 18” but mine were 20’s and ANY truck with stamped steel upper control arms with 20” wheels WILL rub with just 275/60/20’s. Reason being, leveling changes your UCA’s and brings your wheel and tires closer to the UCA’s causing rubbing. Lots of people saying not true and later posting elsewhere “yeah, slight rubbing” but to each their own. Btw, Michelin Defenders are stronger than most AT tires on the market, designed to handle the extra torque from trucks, AT tires are much more versatile but even a C rated tires will have softer sidewalls than an E. Just about every quality tire manufacturer makes C rated AT tires, just depends on the size and whether someone is willing to compromise for a smoother ride. I’ve always had E rated tires but that was my first and last time I’ll ever level a truck. Ok, good luck to everyone and do lots of research before messing with your suspension angles, sometimes better to save a bit more and lift it the right way. [emoji6] Sent from Above
  25. That’s what everyone says then they either get rid of their truck, return it to stock or do a real lift giving excellent suspension angles and stock like ride, stock like ride is due to E rated tires most people (I myself) end up having installed. I did the 2.25” level and added 275/60/20 AT’s and rubbed like crazy, had to get new wheels with different offset in order to push out the tire and not rub. If you can only afford a level then try sticking with P rated tires. Good luck! Sent from Above
