wow that is pretty bad. I would double check your bolts loosen them and then torque to the required foot pounds.

can anyone with a Mcgaughy 7-9" lift pls tell me if the front track width is widened beyond stock? After my tires wear out in a couple years I plan to possibly upgrade to a mcgaughy 7-9" lift (set at 8 or 9") and get some 22x11 Fuel lethals and 37x13.5 tires. Just want to know if I'll still need rear wheel spacers when I get the mcgaughy.

 

Thanks in advance!

I have the mcgaughy lift set at 8" and yes it does widen the track width in the front. I believe you need a 1.75"-2" spacer in the rear. A good thing about about a spacer that wide is that you won't have to trim studs. I still need to purchase some spacers for the rear. I will take measurements tomorrow if you want me to

I know where your coming from. Here's a video I took a while back in my truck.

 

 

 

There is a fix. I haven't had it done yet. Taken it in to the dealership twice now and the first time, they said its my level that caused it and the fact that someone else did my alignment. Second time, they couldn't recreate the problem. After doing a good amount of research, I found another member that had the same problem and had it fixed. Turns out it is infact the steering gear. The dealership replaced it and problem solved. My truck should be going in next week so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it solves the problem.

Is it under warranty or they going to give you trouble since you leveled it

sailor9908,

 

Your truck looks kick ass. How does it ride with the fox 2.5 reservoir front and rears? I'm thinking about these exact shocks for my 6" BDS lift.

These shocks are smooth as hell. Haven't taken it off road yet but in the city and highway its way better than stock. Just had to drop my tire pressures to 40, they put them at 48 during my last oil change and that was way too much air.

It's under warranty still. They did question the level, but the guys at the service dept at my dealership are all pretty cool guys. The first time they blamed it on the guys that did my alignment so I went back to them and they couldn't get it to go away. The reason they didn't see it the second time is, for me at least, the truck has to be warm for the clicking to start. Mine doesn't do it when it's cold.

 

Your dealership should take care of it unless they can prove your lift caused it.

    • same here , i have a 2020 first gen and the cost to repair these engines far excedes replacement
    • But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate. 
    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
