  1. So I accidentally pulled the fuse for the lift gate computer and now the fob won't open the lift gate. The button on the handle and the inside work but not the fob. Any clue how to reprogram the fob? I do have an autel bidirectional scan tool if it's necessary. Thanks
  2. Where did you find the "off-road" function in the settings? I won't they everything and can't find that?
  3. Are you running the 10 speed Trans? I have a 21 TrailBoss 6.2L/10speed that I tow a 9k lb travel trailer with. last year trans temp in the summer got to 235 and was stressing me out. We just went out for the first trip this year, outside temp was in the 60s and the trans was running between 180 and 210. Ive read AMS oil claims that their fluid reduces temps by 20*... IDK that i believe that claim, but I would love to get the temps down 20 or 30*
  4. I know a majority of people hate the Magnaride but, my Tahoe is a soccer practice/grocery getter for the family. What are the suggestions for the replacement Magnaride/Air? strutmasters has a kit for $1400 for all of it rockauto (Arnott) $408/each Gmparts? Thanks
  5. No sorry. Sold
  6. For sale Pulsar LT. 19-22 Silverado 1500. Used for about 8 months. Decided to go with a full tune instead. Fantastic product, perfect shape. Includes instruction manual. Asking $400 with shipping. (New is $530)
  7. Wondering about pros/cons of the 2? I like the Superchips with the controller and preloaded tunes on it. Not sure if HP offers something like it or if they just unlock and you do all the mapping on your own? Thanks
  8. Thanks man. Ya I think I'm headed the way of airbags. I don't want to have an active spring when I'm not towing.
  9. Thanks I appreciate the info. I've been comparing the roadmaster vs the hellwig. great to know that the ride height is adjustable. I didnt know that def getting a weight distribution hitch.
  10. Wondering if anyone here has used the Hellwig Helper Springs (either the pro or the ez990 series) or other helper springs? will it increase the rake on the truck? ive read people have had up to 2 inches of increase height after install... ? We are going to buy a larger travel trailer (30-32' overall length, around 7000 lbs with around 800 tongue weight), the current trailer is about 25' overall and 5000lbs. Im towing with a 2021 TrailBoss w/6.2L with a 1.75" level kit on the front. im looking for some helper springs with the sag and more control while towing the larger trailer. thanks for any info/help
  11. Bingo. I have no desire to pay $35/month for a subscription to start my truck.
  12. Does anyone know if GM offers a factory longer range key fob for 2019-2021 Silverado? I'm looking for longer range with the remote start vs getting an aftermarket system and I have to carry 2 key fobs Thanks!
  13. 2021 front and rear shocks with front springs. About 9k miles. https://www.ebay.com/itm/204100899679?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=7ocoxPURTpO&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=7ocoxPURTpO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Pm me with questions
  14. Just wondering if anyone has installed any other aux switches besides the Gm factory knee bolster ones. I'd rather have a toggle switch vs the push button and in a more convenient location.
  15. Not all 35s are created equal. Go on the tire manufacturer website and look at the exact tire you want to see actual dimensions. I run Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35x12.5r18 measures 34.75" I've seen others measure 34.5" 4"lift it's not required for 35s. Lifting beyond 3" creates problems for the 1500. Upper control arms have to be replaced and beyond 3.5" you start running into problems with the axle CVs. Hope this helps This is my TB on 35s front lift is 1 3/8 over stock so 3 3/8 over a non TB. There is some rubbing I did have to take off the mudflaps and brackets, and small fender liner modifications.
  16. I've got a 2017 Tahoe premier with the magnaride/air suspension. It's starting to get extremely squishy over bumps. I've read all the topics about them getting hard or locking out but nothing about them getting really soft. Anyone else with the issue or the fix. $1500 in new shocks it's painful but I also don't want to do the delete.
  17. Overall I'm happy with the setup. The fender liner on the front side is what I heat up and pull towards front bumper and ultimately had to ziptie into place. The firewall side I heated a little bit it only moved back a little bit. I get a little bit of rub on the firewall side when I'm at absolute full lock but it's not terrible. I have no problems with the control arm distance. I do have the Bilstein 6112s coming which I think will lift it another 1/4 inch over where it sits now.. so whenever that arrives I will report back.
  18. I'm very interested in this. I have a '21 TrailBoss and a 2017 Tahoe, the MagRide sucks on the Tahoe it's super bouncy and my wife hates the ride quality. I'm swapping suspension on the TrailBoss to Bilstein's (whenever they ship) so I will have the rancho kit available. Have you attempted the swap? Geometry issues?
  19. So I went with the Zone lift level with control arms and 35s on method wheels on a trail boss and what I'm experiencing now is what I would call an "anxious" or "jittery" suspension. Very bouncy/jittery over bumps and very anxious to spring back. I'm assuming the Ranchos are not that great so I've been looking into this 6112/5160 setup. I assume everyone with lifted wheels and tires notice significant smoother ride quality with the bilsteins?
  20. I went with the Zone Lift Level kit for the TB. No issues, 35s with some fender liner movement. with a stock TB or AT4 you are already at 2" over stock. if you put in a spacer or anything that lifts close to 3.5 or beyond I would just put in UCAs for peace of mind. $630 is an inexpensive way to not end up at the dealership or with blown out joints. and in all honesty it took me 5 hours with distractions of kids during the install to complete the lift and control arm install. its really not that bad. https://zoneoffroad.com/products/175-in-leveling-kit-2019-2021-chevy-silverado-trail-boss-gmc-sierra-at4?variant=39468191154264
  21. So after reading countless posts about if they do or don't and the mixed bag that came out of all of it I decided to just go for it. Here's the jist of what I did: -Zone off-road front level with control arms https://zoneoffroad.com/products/175-in-leveling-kit-2019-2021-chevy-silverado-trail-boss-gmc-sierra-at4?variant=39431680295000 -Method MR305 NV 18X9 -12 OS - Nitto Ridge Grappler 35x12.50x18 Zone kit comes with separate plates for 1-3/8" or 1-3/4" lift. Zone suggests 1-3/8 for TrailBoss and 1-3/4 for AT4. *MINE IS SET TO 1-3/8 Front side - Heat gun and pry bar or block of wood will be needed for the front of the wheel well. Heated the plastic mounting bracket and pushed it forward about an inch, hold it in place till it cools off and holds. Then I drilled a hole in the bottom of the fender liner and zip tied it back to the front valence (last picture) Back side (firewall side) - I removed the lower bracket (4 - 13mm bolts) that is for the mud flap and lower screw fit fender liner. Zip tie thru bottom screw hole in the fender liner back to lower frame hole (pick a hole any hole) and pull it back as far as possible pics 2 and 3. Simple mods took less than an hour to accomplish all of it. Full 35x12.50x18 Any questions or other pics you want let me know.
  22. Zone off-road front level with UCA Method MR305 NV 18X9 -12 offset Nitto ridge grapplers 35x12.50x 18 Yes they rub but with a little love to the fender well they don't anymore.
  23. Great to know we are making progress!!! Was your problem on startups or was it all the time? im lost why it only happens on startup (cold starts and auto S/S) and then goes away after 30 ish seconds??
