  1. Someone opened it up and painted the inside. Maybe did a crappy job and the one that’s not painted may have leaked and they had to replace. I had mine done that way as well….
  2. could be as simple as not torqueing the lugnuts properly.
  3. For those with aftermarket conical lugnuts, are you getting the ET (extended thread) version or is it not necessary?
  4. Find the DIY and get that sealant in that thread. Stuff flows real well and binds like crazy. With that and the new replacement the window has survived a real wet Seattle fall and winter.
  5. I just installed the Roadmaster suspension setup in the rear of my AT4 for towing our 30' travel trailer. It functions similarly to a helper spring, but maybe a bit more dynamic. It, like all helper springs, will increase the ride height in the rear. The Roadmaster is adjustable, at my setting it lifted the rear a little over an inch. Helper springs specifically will stiffen it up back there as well. Helper springs working in conjunction with a good weight distribution hitch makes a HUGE difference in towing feel and riding level. Worth it imho!
  6. Nice work! Which rack are you using? Is it a stake pocket mount or under bed rail?
  7. I always thought that warranty work was itself warrantied regardless of whether you are out of warranty (but still within a time/mileage frame) at the time that their work fails? I had my rear window replaced about 3 months ago and am at 35,000 miles, it had better be covered for longer than 1k more miles!
  8. While I agree with what you said about the possibilities with DSSV and that the new shiny tech is cool, it is also nearly completely motorsports focused. This is where the value proposition is lost for the common GM 1500 owner. 99.9% of the consumers don't even have the base level knowledge to understand why one shock is better than the next, nor would they ever do anything in their truck that would test that understanding. I'm willing to bet that that number also plays out similarly for the specialty trucks like the ZR2 or AT4X, which will continue to sell out. This is especially true regarding how valving/tuning contributes one way or another to performance under a given scenario. People buy what is "cool" so they can say they have it while boasting what their system "can" do hypothetically. So is an extra $1k (more than other top tier shocks) going to gain any more tangible value, especially in noticeable performance by the consumer? doubt it. but I suppose one could argue that the cool points are worth it, right?
  9. I'd say there's a bit of overstating here on the feel of a mass produced tuned shock under normal driving conditions. Also, for less than $4500 you can get some custom tuned adjustable King or Fox shocks from Accutune, way more value there and you'll get your "bro" points!
  10. Also loving that the fuel system saver is being released! finally, some good parts for our LM2!
  11. Awesome news. Can’t wait to see how their tune works out!
