so i installed my new amp, shocks and struts, ebc rotors and hawk pads. truck stops great. it rides really well until it hits a big bump then it's way too hard in the rear. would probably be great towing something. but on really rough roads at highway speeds it jars you something fierce

I have to wonder if the ride quality issue is due to the particular shocks you bought, or if the problem is a result of the accident damage....

 

Otherwise, lookin' good!

What brand of shocks did you buy?

 

 

procomp es9000 shocks.

 

  • Twin tube nitrogen gas stabilized

     

  • 10 stage velocity sensitive valving

     

  • Expanded twin tube design increase fluid capacity up to 50%

     

  • 1 3/8 inch nylon banded piston

     

  • 5/8 inch chrome hardened piston rod

     

  • Optional shock boots sold separately

     

i think it may just be the shocks and the 10 way valving.

it was riding fine with the factory shocks, so i don't think it's because of frame damage

Those shocks are pretty stiff. They will loosen up a little with a few miles but remain somewhat stiff.

Nice, I'm thinking about getting the RS9000XL Rancho's they have 9 clicks of adjustment, and are supposed to be pretty good, and hold up good. They have a 100 off them till august, so I got a while to think about it.

How are your brakes?

 

 

brakes are awesome, just a bit of noise, you can barely hear it except when going by retaining walls. i will never run anything any differant. they are very progressive and will stop the truck quickly when needed

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
