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.

Truck looks great... This is the look i am gonna go for.. But I'm thinking really hard about doing the bilstein's 5100 instead.. But hope to get the same look with the same tires.. With your setup do you think the Weathertech no drill mud flaps will still be able to be used when turning front tires?

 

Again nice looking truck!!

Thanks! I haven't seen what they look like inside the wheel well, but I can only imagine it would make things very close when its already a close call as is.

So is the Suspensionmaxx kit the only leveling option currently MADE for the Denali's with magnetic ride? I know some mentioning Motofab, etc but these are kits where the shop moves around the sensor's themselves.

Do you think the 285s or 295s on stock rims would fit width wise without rubbing on a RC 2.5 level?

I would think so. Initially, I had just a 2" level with 305s and the slightest rub at full lock in reverse. Of course it depends on how tall you go as well.

I'm going with Bilstein 5100's here in the next week or so. I want to put them on their highest setting for the most amount of lift in the front. How will my ride quality compare to stock if they are at the max setting?

From what I have read ride quality will be nice but just a bit stiffer. I'm putting on the RC 2 inch this weekend and if I do not like the look of it (nose high) I will be getting the 5100's.

So...what's the verdict then on leveling kits with magnetic suspension on my 2016 Denali? Do I need a specific kit? I know I want a 2" level, but no clue what route to go on manufacturer. Help!

I just put the Bilstein 5100s set at the highest level on my truck. Its still a bit taller in the rear but a much better stance than stock. Soon to have 285/70r17 bfg a/t ko2s pending funds.

I have a 2.5in leveling kit here that I was going to install, but I decided to not get bigger tires.

 

I think the 2.5" on stock tires will look stupid, so I think a 2" level is the way to go for me on stock tire size...

My buddy just had a level kit installed that was the top strut version. His guy said it had better ride quality than the lower strut block I'm doing.

 

Is that true? Am I sacrificing for a super rough ride?

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Indeed a proper drain tap or drain valve with adapter that has a hose on it that opens up the valve as the adapter goes on is a slick setup and have that for certain highway tractors etc and other equipment that came from the factory with a tap but this L8T is pretty darned good other than me doing it on the floor and easy to touch hot exhaust and am not as agile as I used to be !. If I really want to pull a hot filter on an engine I will use an insulated set of thick neoprene gauntlet gloves but I am not in the hurry I used to need to be so things are done more relaxed and in theory somewhat safer ... I think LOL.    And as I mentioned the unique shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers, while they might not work as well as an offset pour spout container for some awkward engine location applications, they are working a lot better with my Lisle funnel kit because of how they prop up on all four corners when upside down resting on the rim of the funnel where the typical quart container would never stay put without holding onto it.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      Well, I just hit 100K a few weeks back, and I can honestly say I have not had any major issues with my '21 5.3 Crew cab.  I have done most routine maintenance, oil changes, air filter, tire rotations, and a transmission drain and filter change (not even a full flush).  A couple of months ago, I started experiencing the dreaded CLUNK when coming to a stop, sometimes hard enough to literally push the truck forward! After researching here and in other forums/youtube videos, etc, I was thinking it's the slip yoke. I finally had a chance to take it to my local mechanic today, and he was not able to recreate the issue.  Amazing, since it does it nearly every time I drive.  He also said he can't simply grease my slip yoke/driveshaft splines, because I have a 1 piece driveshaft.  I am not sure what else I can do.  Has anyone else had this issue or have any idea what else it could be?

      This is where the Fumoto drain valve comes in handy.  No mess and able to change oil hot, like right off the interstate hot.  Flows nice and you can direct it into a container. As for the oil filter, I use an old dixie cup or plastic one from McDonalds. It contains the oil as you pull the filter down and not all over your hand.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Well, if it did change from lifters to rocker arms, at least it would be easier to fix as they fail.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Doesn't hurt to try.  It's my understanding that you have to run it at least 4 or 5 oil changes for things to get clean.  Think about it, your engine didn't get dirty in just an oil change so over time it will slowly clean. It's the safest way to do it and not have seal issues.      I remember  a product that came out a long time ago, AutoRX, it was an additive you put in the oil and then drove for 3k miles. Some saw improvements and some didn't. It was suggested to use a non synthetic with it at the time. Same observation, use a couple oil changes and give it time to work. It also stated it worked best if you could drive on trips to keep the oil hot.  I'm sure if you ask AI it could tell you all about it.
