I need some help, I dropped off my truck at the local off-road shop this morning, however they called and said that they cannot install a leveling kit on it correctly. For some reason they claim that the keys that they pulled off of my truck were identical to those in the leveling kit. I was also having an add a leaf added in the rear, and they claim that rear end is too big for the U-bolts That came with the add a leafs(the least of the problems). I have essentially a 1 ton rear end but does that affect the Torsion Keys? If so what are my options? I have a set of 285/70/17's that are mounted and waiting to be mounted, and they won't fit as it stands now. P.S. I have owned my truck from day 1, the existing keys are not aftermarket.

i had a one ton, all i did was crank the keys up, the one ton trucks have different bars and keys typically id suggest this http://www.suspensionmaxx.com/mm5/index2.html its an index-able key so you can lift your truck up, and if they cant manage to find a shop to make them ubolts id be worried about them installing anything... not to mention the fact that you may not even need longer ubolts for just an AAL.

All you should need are GM's green or white keys, as your 2500HD most likely came with GM's purple keys.

 

GM Part # ..... Cam angle ..... Color Code

15045171 ............ 4º ............ Purple (typically comes stock on HD trucks)

15657374 ............ 9º ............ Blue

15603963 ........... 12º ........... Orange

15592573 ........... 14º ........... Green (comes stock on non-HD 1500 series; typical upgrade for lifting a 2500)

15592574 ........... 18º ........... White

Thanks rugged, I guess I have no choice but to try the adjustable keys. Frustration is getting the best of me, I always go through this when ordering anything from rear diff gaskets, to shocks, etc. It seems that from now on I should just tell parts people that it is a 1 ton. I have even received wrong parts from the dealer, who cross referenced them to the VIN. And your right, I have lost all confidence in HMH Off-road ( our local off road shop) I think he was trying to install 1 ton keys in my truck, which for whatever reason, already has 1 ton keys in it, instead of buying after-market re-indexed keys. I just wish it wasn't 2 degrees outside, so that I could do this stuff in my driveway.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
