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.

I’m trying to take advantage of this, but can’t get ahold of CST via email, phone, or facebook messenger.  I’d like to get their front leveling coilovers and upper control arms, but don’t see any matching rear shocks on their site.  Does anyone know if they offer a basic Dirt Series 2.0 shock non-resi to replace my stock Ranchos?  Something exactly like the FOX 2.0 and Icon 2.0 non-resi shocks.

 

The closest part number I could find on their site is the CSR-5530 but that is listed for the new 2019s only.

 

On a side note, MRT and SDHQ have been very responsive to questions about other setups that I am pricing out.  Right now I am leaning towards the Icon stage 1 and will add their delta joint UCAs.

They may be closed for the holidays, try them back on Monday. They do have the shocks you want.

The dealer had put on 22s.  I had them changed to 18s.  I also had Bilstein 5100s installed at the highest setting and also replaced the shocks in the back with Bilstein.  I love the stiffer ride.  I don't bounce all over the place now when I hit a bump.

Can anyone post a picture of what their ball joints look like with the 2in Rough Country leveling kit? I need to compare them to mine.

I'm sure this has been asked, but I'm lost and a little confused yet.

 

For my 2018 Sierra 1500, I am going to add GY DuraTracs, 275/60/20 (a 33" tire) and a 1.5"-2.0" front level kit (Rough Country).  Do I need to do anything with the UCA?

Thanks, did you Readylift kit come with UCA's? I don't see the ball joint as crushed as with a Rough country 2in Kit.

It did not. This picture is with the stock stamped steel upper control arms.

Didn't care for the nose-high appearance of the truck with the 2" level so I installed the 2 inch rear block to give it a bit of rake again.  Subtle difference but just enough to fix the problem. Before and after:

I love your wheel and tire choice.  That looks great.  Very old school and cool. Any other pictures?

I asked this question above, but I am also contemplating going 285/55/20 instead of the 60 tire to avoid any potential rubbing.  That tire is about a 32" tall tire, so only 1" taller than stock.

 

Would that 285/55 be a better option to avoid rubbing and potential UCA issues?  I really do not want to get into something and then have to throw a bunch more money trying to fix it because it was the wrong tire choice.

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By newdude · Posted

      Yea that's pretty normal to be off a few degrees.  Usually 2-4 degrees from say a weather app or thermometer.

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By studly · Posted

      I just replaced the ambient air temperature sensor.  Easy as pie. I simply had to remove about 10-12 clips on the plastic cover over the radiator and remove two T-10 torx screws on the hood release lever to liberate the cover (Amazingly, none of the clips broke.  All came out and went back in with zero problems). Once the cover was removed, the temp sensor is easily accessible. The sensor cable snakes through a few guides and can be pulled out for even easier access to the sensor. I was able to work the sensor out of the mounting hole.  There is a red sliding catch on the plug that must be pulled back to disconnect the cable.  The plug was quite tight.  I had to use a screwdriver to pry it out. I plugged in the new sensor ($6.45 from RockAuto), snapped it into the mounting hole and re-snaked the cable. I put the radiator cover back on and reattached the lever arm to the hood release.  All done!     I started up my Suburban.  The temperature read 82 °F. Other thermometers at my house read 80 °F.  Close enough.  It might be reading high as my vehicle was sitting in the sun.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.
