Guys i don't think its an issue with the lift manufacturer, the problem on one of these seems to be corrected after a realignment and then performing a steering angle recentering and recalibration. As soon as the other guy can keep his scheduled appointment we will see if that takes care of his.

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

Anybody that went with the bigger lift with 35's having any trouble with stabilitrac kickin in when going around turns? I know of 2 local guys, both 2014 silverado's one self install and one shop installed, both zone 6.5 lifts and both are doing the same thing. One of them we recalibrated the steering angle position and that seemed to help, but i have never heard whether or not it fixed it. The other we trield recalibrating the steering angle and its still doing it. Any suggestions. GM and Zone are playing dumb with this issue....

Yes, it's driving me crazy. When I make a left hand turn at an intersection it kicks on. The sharper the turn the worse. The shop that I had my kit installed didn't know. I almost think there is a sensor under the dash or something that can sense the truck is higher and at a slightly different lean around corners. It has to be able to be reset or programmed at the dealer. Bet the High Country models with the 6 inch pro comp for $60k don't have this problem! Edited by badchevy

I am so torn about lifting my truck. I have brand new 35x12:50x20's on +18 wheels setting in my garage. All I have to do is sell my BDS lift I bought for my 13 then I planned to get a BDS or zone 6" and lift my 14. But after seeing some of the issues people are having. And the fact that I don't want to ruin the ability to use my truck I am seriously considering going with a glorified leveling kit and a smaller tire. I think the truck will look badass on 35's but I also notice the bed is so high when you have that big of a lift that its hard to use the truck. I don't know. I will probly end up doing the 6 and 35's I just hope I don't regret it. I'm sure the issue with the stability system is related to steering angle and can be corrected.

These trucks on a 6 with 35s does look EXTREMELY badass. I would love to do that to mine but don't want to go that high. So in settling for a 4" on 33s or 34s

Did the place that aligned your truck reset your steering angle sensor? It HAS to be done when you do an alignment on these new trucks.

I bet that is it. I will have to look into that. Can the sensor be reset by the owner, or does it need to be done by a shop with the alignment computer/equipment?

The only way I know to do it is with gm's GDS using a gm MDI scanner. It will definitely have to be done using a scan tool. If the alignment shop didn't have the ability to do so. I'm sure that's ur problem.

Going to definitely look into it. Wish I could do it with my Diablo Intune. By the way I was hesitant going to a 6 inch lift with 35s after coming off a truck with 2.5 level and 33s. Glad I did and the look is killer. Not a day goes by without a compliment

Yeah at this point i would be stupid to downsize seeing how i already have the wheels i wanted with the 35's already mounted and waiting. I just don't want any issues. My 13 had a 2 inch level and i though i would be happy with that but i eventually wanted to go big. Thats why i bough all the stuff to lift it. Too bad i didnt wait a month before i bought the lift or i could have bought it for my new truck, lol... Oh well atleast my wheels and tires will work, just need the lift... Coming Soon. Let me know when you get yours fixed,i will feel alot better about it, lol...

Damne that is good looking! Very similar to my current setup. IMO you just need a slightly larger / more agressive tire, but to each his own!

So far I've had no problems with my truck and all is fine. I do understand the bed height issue though as it sucks to get something that in the middle of the bed behind the rear window from the side of the truck. Then again Im 6'3 and the height isn't bad getting in or out as say someone 5' something and I guess the type of person you are. Just like my grandma loves the truck and hops in one handed with high heels and smoking a cig while some of my friends are like wheres a ladder lol on that not though I do find the bumper steps useless lift this high and would rather use the middle of the bumper to step up and I have a size 14 foot and always catch the top of my foot on the step and it hurts like a you know what. still bruised there after a week lol

Yeah I am gonna go for it. No point in going backwards. Glad to hear you are not experiencing any issues! I don't use the bumper steps as it sets so that's not an issue. Pics of your truck posted anywhere?

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.

      In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.
