Hey all....

I got my belltech 2-3inch rear lowering shackles from stylintrucks and now I just need to find the time to install them. I took a look under the truck and figured the install is pretty straight forward, but I have a couple question. I would like to heard from people who have installed the shackles and are riding on them. Are there any tips or tricks to use during the install??? I figured the shock is getting a little compressed, so is the ride more stiff or is it the same???? What about the bumpstops???? Has anybody removed the bump stops and changed them after installing the shackles. Has anybody that has the old bumpstops and shackles bottomed out on a rough road and/or load in the bed??? What about any of the brake lines or cables getting in the way?? Any other comments would be helpful.. Thanks

I can't wait to have a free day without the wife and kids to get the shackles installed..

  Impressed myself People have been telling me since I bought it that she was going to blow any minute. 😱 200K is certainly a milestone I'm looking forward to but I have no idea how many miles it will take to quite the pessimist among us. Pattern has been; they set a goal, Pepper exceeds that goal, the goal post gets moved. At some point I'll run out of time. It is catching up with me. 😬 We'll see. 300K? 400K? Half a million? It's not using oil yet and that is a great sign. It's not leaking from any part of the powertrain. Another good sign. So...

  I use the Linear Logic Scan Gauge II to observe only. I don't log ECU data. Yes, I thought about the HP system, but I met my goals without it. So far. However, I'm open to input always.

  The main issue is balancing the reliability, exhaust drone, and emission hardware concerns on the L5P, and it sounds like updated tune files helped resolve many of the early ECM worries. From my experience, keeping an eye on tune revisions and choosing an exhaust setup that controls drone makes a huge difference for a daily-driven truck, and Brozat4’s long-term feedback has been really helpful. If you're already going that route, a full delete kit for L5P Duramax should be planned carefully with a quality tuner and proper monitoring so you avoid headaches and keep the truck running smoothly.

  Hi. I've got a 26 RST. I've had the no audio a couple of times also. It's not related to Apple car play. I've got android. It kinda seems to me you have to turn off the truck and get out to possibly get the remote away from the truck. I came back after a couple of minutes and it was good. I know it shouldn't be that way and is aggravating. I've had mine since March. There was no problem with my 2020. Mark
