Couple recent pictures of mine, pulled the lower valence/air dam off.. not so sure I like it. Looks like something's "missing" to me on the front end now. I think I'm going to trim the air dam down and re-install it.

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

I have had my RC 2.5" level on now for 8,000 miles and have had no issues. I love the way my truck sits. And it was extremely easy to install.

I haven't. Nor have I heard of anyone needing to get that done. Only time that I have heard of Stabilitrak becoming funny is with the Zone 6.5" lift.

I have that lift. Can you elaborate on what issues were caused?

I think if you didnt have the Flaps it would look better but adding the trim will balance it back out.

Not everyone has experienced them. I just know sometimes stabilitrac will act up when turning sometimes. But it's not often that it will occur. Just at times.

I guess I still don't know what you mean by "act up".

Thanks for the link. I've had my lift on for 20k miles and have never seen my stabili-track come on, around turns or otherwise. Just lucky I guess.

 

Then I wouldn't read that link! It may start happening now that you know about it. If it does, then I didn't tell you about it lol

Lol. I've had my tires rotated a couple times and it hasn't done it so hopefully it won't start from just reading a thread.

 

Sometimes tho, when I'm turning really sharp it kinda acts like the locking rear diff is activated, but not always. There's never been any blinking light on my dash indicating stabilitrack or traction control being activated tho. I just assumed it was because my 35" tires were so big. That part doesn't bother me.

Yeah I like the look better without flaps, but our road conditions and weather make them a must have. Without them you'll chip the paint in no time and good luck trying to keep your truck clean. I also wanted to pull the step bars off but am thinking that'll draw even more attention to the flaps.

I have an AT with my Air dam taken off, factory Molded flaps, and my step bars taken off. I've got a pic in the 2014 Pics thread to give you an idea. Its also my Avatar pic

I've spent the last month looking at this forum and everything else online so I could to try to get the best information on what to do to my 2014 Silverado to level it. After all the research I went with the Bilstein adjustables and Hankook Dynapro 275/70/18. This is my first post so I'll do my best on the before and after pics. The ride is great and better than factory. It's winter and truck is dirty but I couldn't be happier with this set up.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
