    I noticed over the weekend when backing my boat down the ramp that my ABS brakes are kicking in the whole time while backing up. Makes it very difficult to stop the truck. I can even replicate it without the boat by just backing down a slope in reverse and applying the brakes, you can feel the ABS brakes kick in and the peddle goes to the floor. I cant get into the dealer till next week, is there a way to disable the ABS brakes in the mean time since i pull a trailer for work? I will mention this just started happening since I replaced my front rotors and brake pads. Is there something that needs to be reset in the computer possibly?

    I have a 2017 4x4 with a 6" Fabtech lift and 35" tires with about 70K miles. I am starting to hear my upper ball joint pop when turning. Does anyone have experience with going to an upgrade control arm and ball joint? I called 4wheel parts to discuss options and they said to go with stock replacements, the Congnito, Kryptonate, or any other upgraded arm needs lots of maintenance. I guess he means you have to keep them lubed? I also read the Cognito arms will improve the ride and the angles. Not sure what to do.

    So I just got my truck back from having all the lifters and pushrods replaced under warranty for a lifter failure, 70K miles on 6.2 engine. Now, I just noticed when I'm driving around in the city and I give it a little gas, it down shifts and the engine feels like it hesitates/shakes for a second then goes. Doesn't feel like the trans, feels more like motor hesitation. I do have a Black Bear tune that removes the V4 mode junk. I took it back to the shop that did the work and they said they can't make it happen and find nothing wrong. Not sure where to go from here. Only happens when it downshifts in slower speeds, i dont notice it at higher speeds on the highway.

    Having a weird issue in my truck with the Sirius satellite radio. There are a couple of channels I can not access unless I am out of town. Once I leave San Antonio, the channels become available. Drive back into town and they wont work. My wifes Acadia has basically the same looking radio, and hers works all the time. Any ideas? Antenna issue maybe?

    I know this is an old thread, but I have a squeak or a creek noise coming from my leaf springs. Its driving me crazy. When you slowly come to a stop, you can hear it and then when you take off again. Sounds like a creaking door opening and closing. Only happens when you move forward or come to a stop. Jumping up and down on the truck wont do it, only accelerating from a stop and coming to a stop. It goes away when the truck gets wet or its raining, then returns.

    What area are you referring to ? The actual upper glass plastic ?

    Anyone have a lot of vibration in there tow mirrors when on the highway ? Mine shake a lot and not sure how to fix them. Maybe a tension screw to tighten ?

    Anyone try these 6122's on a 6" lift ? Wondering if these are a better option over the 5100 for a lifted truck running the larger tires. I would just keep the lift kit upper 6" spacer and put these in like the stock ones. I would also like to order them assembled so I dont need to compress the spring. Anyone know of someone that sells them assembled ready to bolt on?
  14. gapple12
    No, I sure didn't. He was out of stock when I was ready to order

    Here is the link below. So is the black the ground you think ? Do you have a wiring harness for this application ? link to mirrors https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323878914167

    I got these power fold tow mirrors off eBay last week for my 17 LTZ Chevy. Anyone know what the 4 wires in the white plug should go to ? I’m sure there for the reverse LEDs but why is there 4 wires ??
  17. gapple12
    2017 1500 Silverado LTZ, has power fold, reverse tilt, and remote fold from fob. I would have thought the mirror features are built into the truck computer, not in the mirror ? There perfect condition if you would like to buy them.

    I'm curious, would i need a new harness since my current mirrors already have the power fold and blinker feature ? The mirrors I want are the OEMassive Power Fold mirrors Link: http://oemassive.com/2x-power-folding-heat-led-turn-chrome-towing-mirror-for-14-18-silverado-sierra/

    I have a 2017 LTZ Silverado with the power fold mirrors, has the defrost and puddle lights with chrome caps. I want to go with the tow mirrors but I am curious if I would be able to sell my LTZ mirrors ? Are people wanting these or does anyone on here have an interest in buying them from me ?
  20. gapple12
    Thanks for the reply. Is there a simple way to wire the lights with a harness ?
  21. gapple12
    I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 LTZ and I want to add tow mirrors and keep the power fold and defrost option my current mirrors have. Is there any tow mirrors out there that will just plug and play without having to do any harnesses or re-wiring ?

    Yup, mine didn't do this till I did a burn out. Now when I hammer the gas, I feel a vibration. From what I've read online and going thru posts on other sites, these drive shafts are crap. Few guys replaced them with a stronger 2 piece shaft and all the vibration goes away. IM going to order one soon and see how it rides. Mine is a 2017 6.2 with 8 speed, plus a 6" lift and 35" tires. Got a custom tune and went to test it, did a burn out and now vibration issues.

    Anyone try these on there GM yet ? I am thinking of getting a pair to run with my 6" Fabtech. Curious how much better it improves the ride and if you can gain some more lift with them. At $999 and adjustable, would love to see a comparison to the Fox adjustable coilovers.

    Thanks Pearl2017, I did disable the trans braking and it made a huge difference. All the clunking went away !!

    Appreciate the feedback. I am currently running a Edge CTS2 tuner to calibrate the oversized tires and improve mileage. It’s working good but the tranny is annoying some days. What is your plan for a tune ? Wish Black Bear could do it.
