Has anyone used Johnson Lifters instead of the GM/Delphi stock/LS7 lifters? From what I can tell, I've not seen anything bad about them and they seem to be preferred by a lot of people in other forums. I've seen it mentioned here a few times to go with Johnson lifters and not the LS7 lifters, but haven't seen anyone mention some of the specifics I'm looking for: quiet/no ticking (quieter than stock GM lifters?) long lasting what size push rod did you need / any other changes other than the cam TSP has a DOD/AFM DIY removal kit here, but it doesn't seem to offer any drop in push rods for the lifters. In fact, it seems they are out of Johnson lifters, but I've seem them available on other sites. https://www.texas-speed.com/p-5443-build-your-own-tsp-gen-5-lt1-lt4-l83l84-l86-l87-dod-delete-kit.aspx

Evening. I've had the pleasure of driving a 2015 Silverado 1500 High Country 6.2L (8-speed) since 2016. Along with that, I've had the whole transmission replaced once, torque converter thrice, and a few transfer case issues (...and door locks have stopped working twice and repaired for $700 a pop, roof leaking near the SiriusXM antenna, couple dead batteries, and the never ending shudder). I have ~72,000 miles on it. Anyways, now my truck is stuck in 4-wheel drive, which makes me think there's an issue with the transfer case (again) or the Transfer Case Control Module. I'm taking it to the dealer again next week. In the meantime: is there anyway to get the truck out of 4wd? I have tried pulling the 4wd TREK fuse in the fuse box and also leaving the battery unplugged for ~6 hours to see if it would reset the TCCM, but that did not do anything. I'm driving as little as possible, but would running it in this 4wd (high) for an extended period potentially cause other issues? Additionally, I've been reading up about the new transmission by pass valve which is supposed to reduce the temperature of the transmission fluid and make the transmission last longer and produce a smoother shift. I'm considering flipping the pill or buying a Sure Cool, because I have transmission issues at least once a year. But I had a few questions: Has anyone run a flipped pill for several years without issue? I'm a little skeptical of the longevity of that fix. The Sure Cool system (https://superiortransmission.com/product/superior-stl010/ says it "fits all 2015 up 6L80/90E and now fits 8L80/90E 2016-up". Well, my truck is a 2015 with an 8-speed. Would this Sure Cool system work in my truck? Why isn't there a bulletin for the 8-speed? I was under the impression the 8-speeds were the ones having the most problems. And finally, I talked to a shop that recommends that I get the AFM removed and that that may also increase the reliability. Apparently AFM puts more stress on the torque converter and could cause engine issues? Would anyone recommend against doing the AFM removal?

I ordered mine in the middle of July and have called multiple times. They aren't answering my calls anymore and haven't responded to my email inquiries. I'm not sure what the note means they added to my order on 8/20. Getting about ready to dispute the charge.

I ordered mine on July 18th and they still haven't shipped.

I just purchased the LXP from LineX Truck Gear (https://www.buytruckgearonline.com/lxp-hard-folding-tonneau-covers). It is exactly the same as the Bakflip mx4, but with Line-x coating pre-applied and a lifetime warranty. Installs just like the above video. I went ahead and bought an extra 25' of weatherstrip and put some of it on the edge of the rails to help prevent leakage. I also cut a small piece of stripping and placed it inside of the rail on the edges. Adhesive promoter is not included in the package so you may want to get some for a spray in bedliner truck.

Seems like I recall that a solid/steel driveshaft would fix the shuddering issue. In addition, based on hearsay, the plastic balls in the transmission make for a hard shift. Unless I'm remembering wrong, my dealership installed a solid drive shaft and I haven't noticed the shudder anymore, but the shifting is still a little rough. A friend of mine mentioned something about a few plastic parts in the transmission that was responsible for hard shifting. He said the transmission should last longer, but may ultimately shift harder. I realize most of you are probably rolling their eyes right about now, but has anyone ever rebuilt the transmission that may be able to provide more insight? My truck has had the torque converter replaced 3 times, ujoint, driveshaft, the roof started leaking at the shark fin, the door locks quit working ($700 out of warranty), the battery died, and an oil leak. Was not happy with my High Country purchase back in 2016. However, still driving it daily now after I was told the lemon law would not apply. Having a whining in the rear end now at low speeds. I've all but given up on GM and the dealership resolving anything, so I've been talking to locals.

I'm looking to purchase the 6112 set for my 2015 High Country. However, whenever I enter the 6.2L engine size on Bilstein's website the 6112 series does not show up (even though it does for the smaller engine). BattleBorn's website reports " This Part Will NOT Fit Your 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 HIGH COUNTRY 8Cyl 6.2L" Can anyone verify these should fit? Also, is there a 5100 set that includes springs? Where I'm attempting to purchase but I get that warning message: http://battlebornoffroad.net/bilstein-new-products/bilstein-6112/47273702/i-7531506.aspx
