Awesome info guys. Looking at the Zone 6.5 on 35s. I have a 5.3 but the regearing seems like a big chunk of change. As stated above I'm not racing anyone so that slower speed doesn't really affect me to much. So as for the people who didn't regear and are running 35s, you guys don't have any complaints?

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

From what I’ve heard guys with a 3:08 gears say their trucks seem a lot slower. But with 3:42 gears you’ll be fine. I got a hand held programmer , cold air intake , free flow exhaust and problem solved.

Anyone here running 35s in a 5.3 without regearing?

Yes, you really notice right after they are installed, then you forget.  Not like when I put 35s on my Jepp Rubi.

I'd be more worried about rubbing than gears 

Take a look...

Tell me that's not going to rub.

Looking at the various lifts in the 4"-4.5" range, they all seem to require either cutting out the crossmember completely, or some form of cutting it.  Doesn't that weaken the heck out of the frame?

Not enough cut to worry about.

I drove my 5.3 with 22x12’s on basically 35’s for about a year and a half. You definitely feel the difference in the beginning but it’s not the end of the world.

I've followed this forum for a while to determine what setup to go with. Here's what a came up with so far....

Thanks all for sharing! Helped tremendously

 

2015 GMC Sierra Crew SLT 4x4

 

Fuel Assault Wheels 18 x 9"

 

BFG TA KO2s 285x65x18

(Dropped from 20s to 18s to showcase the KO2s side tread)

 

3.5 Rough Country Lift

Model:27820

(I will admit, there is a very minor rub on the front when I cut all the way to one side or the other, but otherwise all is fine.)

 

Magnaflow Exhaust - Dualed

So here i am 4 years later and countless front end issues due to the bad angles with the Rough Country lift. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT going with the 27820 3.5" lift by Rough Country. way too many issues. looking at the BDS 4" now.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

      6.2L (L9H) Owners - Get all your questions answered here

      By CamGTP · Posted

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
