I've ran two different level kits on my 2017 Sierra so far. First I purchased the Readylift 2.25" level with tubular UCA's which I ran with 275x65r20 Ridge Grapplers on my stock wheels. No rubbing and I was very pleased with the setup. After a few months I decided to buy aftermarket wheels and tires which were the Hostile Sprockets 20x10 -19 offset with 33x12.5r20 Toyo RT's. Major rubbing with the new wheels. I bought the Motofab 2.5" top mount spacers used from my friend and had a shop install those which took a lot of the rubbing away. Still rubs in reverse at full lock..very happy with the new look. The readylift 2.25" level gave my truck a slight rake which I liked. The Motofab 2.5" level gave my truck a totally leveled look which I've grown to like more. Attached are both setups.

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 leveled my '18 using Bilstein 5100 on the max setting (about 2") and my headlights were off a bit.  I parked next to my brother's '16 and aimed the lights on his garage door about 20ft away.  It only took like 1-1.5 turns of the adjustment screw to bring it back down.



Clockwise or counter?

I decided after reading here to go with the RC 2" and also Sumosprings in the rear on my '18 crew.  Will have them in the next couple days.

Very pretty color. Mine came with 22’s, dealership owner just threw them in for me, had them removed to 20’s then I got a billet aluminum 2.25” level front 1” rear added. Threw on KO2’s then the rubbing started. Got new 20X9 Fuel wheels with a +18 and the rest is history.

Forgot to mention, the rubbing happened cause the new 16-18 have the stamped steel UCA’s and the new tires were 275/60’s not the stock 55’s. I’m glad I did cause I got sick of the stock chrome wheels really fast.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      Those are parts changers. It can get expensive though. I was a mechanic for 30 yrs. My truck has made this noise since new. I really don`t know what it is. It really doesn`t bother me. I`m still in warranty but have not brought it to the dealer.   I`m not buying the oil pump prime thing. Screw the TSB. I believe it`s in the trans pump gears. They rattle when that piss poor ULV oil drains off after a while. I believe those sharp tooth gears, with backlash, can rattle when dry. Not a vane style oil pump. Wonder who`s right? Me, or the TSB?🤔   Maybe I`m wrong?

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

      On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      This biggest difference in a HM oil is in contains some  "Seal Conditioner". DEXOS oils and most shelf oils are "Dry" oils which over time harden seals. "Seal Conditioner" is more times than not, an Ester. Addition will soften the seals over time but will not repair one that leaks or has cracked. Esters also provide some cleaning but these HM oils don't contain enough to solve out hard deposits. Just the soft stuff.  Also a function of an Ester.    Ester's are not 'allowed' as a 'co-base" by license. Weird, right?  A certain amount is allowed as an additive. Bunch of game playing is what it is. It's why HM oils don't have a DEXOS approval.    DEXOS is a license 'with' a specification but is not a specification. Never was, never will be. It's GM's slot machine always paying the house. Use what you like.
