  1. More complicated because they can't just loosen a little bit and then swivel them, I hadn't thought about it being that much more difficult... I am considering re-doing my front suspension with all DK stuff, including those locking cams.
  2. I am leaning towards getting the same set-up actually. The tube style UCAs may be great, but the billet looks so much better and is more adjustable. Did you go with the 2.5 coil-overs? I am going to add the alignment cam locks and the swaybar end links. The only thing that I wish I could change is doing away with the gold...it just won't look good with my blue truck.
  3. I am looking at Dirt King also. I wanted to consider thier long travel kit, but not for the right reasons... It would look cool and the better clearance for larger tires. But, my use case is for less off-road use than that kit is really made for. What you did is much closer to what I think makes sense for me. The new Heim UCAa look great but I think they will require much more mainenance the the tube style. Thoughts? I am also looking at the LCAs but I am wondering if our OEM LCAs are a weak link. Are the OEMs limiting anything with the outcome of lifting and using the truck with the lift? What size wheels and tires are you running?
  4. My trailer is between 5k and 6k, all aluminum.
  5. It is hard to beleive that no one has any insight on quality lifts...
  6. I have a 2020 High Country with the Trail Boss lift and 1.25 level. I want a high end lift that will basically do the same thing as what I have, with maybe a little more... When I say high end, I mean, not brands like Rough Country! I am thinking about Fox, but I would like to hear from someone that has done what I am looking for. I am open to most of the better quality brands. UCAs, fully adjustable coilovers and a good rear setup. I do tow, so I have airbags, but have almost never needed them, even when I am pulling the camper. Having room for bigger tires would be great also. The Trail Boss lift has been pretty good, but the ride has never been great and is pretty jarring offroad. I just want something really nice and fully adjustable.
  7. I have had no issues other than the high pressure fuel pump failure, which didn’t fail due to the SC.
  8. I am having my rear slider replaced today. It has at least 3 cracks in the plastic frame. My insurance policy has glass coverage and is covering the replacement.
  9. I have had no reliability issues with the SC or related items at all. The only issue I had was the high pressure fuel pump failing, but that is a common issue, apparently. The canned tune isn’t the greatest, there is a little surging on acceleration and I have an issue where the cruise control will run away on hills with a load. Generally, it is just awesome, though. I am going to have all of the DFM related items in the valve-train removed, replace the cam and have it custom tuned, as soon as I find someone I can trust to do it.
  10. I just got the VPM back from WAMS, it took about a month with shipping. As expected, everything works just like it it came this way.
  11. Thank you! The rack is a Yakima Overhaul HD that is mounted to the Retrax Pro XR bed cover.
  12. I finished the install of the factory tow mirrors on my 2020 Silverado. The passenger car mirrors that come stock are just too small when I’m towing! I’ll be shipping off the VPM to WAMS on Monday for the camera calibration.
  13. I got the PS mirror done and pulled the VPM out so I can ship it to WAMS on Monday. Once that is back, this project will be complete. I really like the mirrors and the extra visibility, they are huge compared to the car mirrors that came stock!
  14. I would look at the Boost Auto tow mirror wire harness modification installation videos for your truck. One of the steps is jumping the cargo light wires so that the rear facing mirror lights come on when the cargo light button is pressed. The DRL wire, I'm not sure, but I bet the guys at Boost Auto could tell you.
  15. Here is a picture of the DS.
  16. I installed the DS mirror yesterday. It went well and everything works. I used the kit from Boost Auto to modify the existing door harnesses. I also used the videos that they provide for the whole process. The only part that I have found hard to accomplish was identifying the pin/wires on the BCM plugs. Otherwise, it was pretty easy. When you are adding the pinned wires to the door harness plugs you just have to make sure that you are actually counting the pin locations because there are other openings on the back of the plugs that are not actual pin locations... I ran out of time yesterday so I am driving it with one big ear and one small ear until my time and the weather line up...
  17. The quote was not specific enough to determine if it included trans tuning. I will be getting more info just to understand what they are offering.
  18. I just got a quote, I'll hold back naming the facility, but they quoted me $3600 just to do the tuning... and said they would need it for 5 days just to do that.
  19. I would say that the clip is accurate, as to the sound. It's hard to capture volume with a video.
  20. I am curious if there has been any traction on your effort to find a reputable tuner for our trucks? I am looking for someone that is worth traveling to in order to have it done correctly. I emailed and called Whipple and they really wouldn't give me a real recommendation. Are they worried about liability?
  21. I installed the true-dual set up on my 2020 6.2 and loved the sound but it was VERY loud. I added some Borla resonators after the muffler and love the sound. It is still much louder than stock but not wake the neighbors loud!
  22. They are not great in wet/snow but they have worn well and are not noisy, in my opinion. I think they look good but that isn’t enough… I’ll be going back to DuraTrac tires, they were great in low traction including wet and snow!
  23. I had the TB kit installed on my 20 High Country and really like it. I also had a leveling kit added to the front and like the look and ride of my truck, no issues.
