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.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
