so much for wanting to get it cleaned up and take some pics .... go to the car wash and it scratches the **** out of my truck :mad:

 

owner of the place says "well thats not possible, my car wash doesnt scratch. Im not coming there tonight, we can discuss it tomorrow. I'll send one of my employees to take a look"

 

 

 

 

I opted to run thru the wash for a quick fix tonight, when all along the plan was to wash it myself tomorrow like I always do. So pissed right now

 

I know how u feel. Just bought a truck 2 weeks ago and the car wash here scratched my truck. Also carved up my door handle too.

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.

Has anyone installed the Rancho quick lift shocks? Looks to be a decent alternative. I don't want to loose any ride quality with a spacer levelling kit after bouncing down the road in 3/4 tons.

I just put on the Ranchos all the way around on my 2015 max tow Sierra. It raised it about 2" in the front, maybe 1.8 on the passenger side but that side was higher to begin with. They are not softer than the stock shocks but about the same when set to the softest setting.

So it was the quick lift shocks? Happen to have any pics you care to post?

I wanted to thank everyone for all of the posts. With your help I decided on the RC 2.5 and Cooper AT3 275/65/20. Made a huge difference in the way the truck looks. Sucks to buy a new truck and have to spend money to make it look like a truck. Thanks again for the feedback and a great place to do research.

Are you getting any mechanical rub with these? Also, how much of a MPG hit did you take? I was looking to get these with just a 2in front RC level

Yes it was the Quick lift shocks. I don't have any pics but it looks just like all the other leveled trucks. I think if the front were any higher it would be nose high IMO.

Any rubbing at all on this setup? What backspacing do you have?

I have a slight rub at full turn in reverse but that's it. I was just waiting for the Bilstien 5100's to become available and do a few adjustments that way. The wheels are 20x9 with a 0 offset. It should be a 5" backspacing.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
