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.

I was told it was the gear box by the dealer but then I posted something about it on here and was told the 1500's don't have a gear box. But I guess steering gear is different then gear box. Anywho mines been replaced twice, the second time they didn't want to since it had already been replaced but the noise got worse. They actually jumped in a newer one on the lot and heard the same noise, they said its due to bigger tires. Well finally a third time to the dealer they replaced it, apparently the first manufacturer of the parts weren't very good so they changed manufacturers. So far no issues on the new on and it's been about a month since then.

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

Seeing you have had this lift on for several months now can you give your opinion on it ? are you still happy with it. Can you post your fender height? Thanks

I have a RC 2.5 with zone 1.5 body lift. I'm being told now for proper alignment I needed to remove these from the factory. Trucks camber is off. Is that correct. Here's a pic.

Just got mine back from the shop!

 

Rough Country 7.5"

20X9 (+20mm) Fuel Nutz

35X12.50R20 Nitto Trail Grappler

Guess I'll be doing the RC 7.5" cause that looks good!

 

Do you have a total height measurement? Have to fit in a parking garage.

Always remember this. Just because the parking garage says a certain height doesn't mean you'll fit. I found one that said 6'10 and I fit great. Well went to another one in a different city that said 6'10 too and thought yeah ill fit except in this one they didn't take into account the cross beams that support the different levels leaving me no joke .75" to 1" of clearance and some of the signs and exit signs hung lower than that so had to dodge them to avoid ripping them off.

Good point indeed. Garage (airport) I mostly need to fit into is 8'2" which at 98" should be plenty but there are signs that, I'm sure, they didn't account for and I do park in some downtown structure which seem like they are only made for miatas. It's always a good idea to know before a build begins.

I'm getting RC 5 inch lift on my 14 sierra z71. I like my oem 18s with my 275/65/18 that only have about 350 miles on them. Will this setup look ok. I'm assuming I'll need spacers.

Also keep in mind any gates. School garage has a gate that folds as it raises to form an Upside down L, I have a good 8" of clearance everywhere except under that thing. I have to hang wide so it doesn't smack up my xm antenna. It already hit it once (first time I went under it) and left white paint all over one side [emoji19]

yes, you will need to remove the white plastic piece in order move the cam bolt. this will move the upper control arm in or out to adjust camber. be careful not wrench too hard, the pressed in pin that it rides along can come loose very easily. i already had to weld mine back in place.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
