I finished installing the rear King shocks today. I had installed the fronts earlier in the week. I took it for a short drive thru a rough road near me. It seems to be a great ride. The rear shocks contributed more than I thought.

 

I'll put a week of freeways and city streets on it and see how it is. I just won't be able to get it out in the dirt for a few weeks.

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/

I bought them off the classifieds here on GM-Trucks.com. who didn't use them. I did get a great deal, but in deference to the seller, I will leave it at that. I think they commonly retail for about $2300 for a 4 shock set.

How much did everyone's fuel mileage suffer with the leveling kit and the over sized tires??

It's going to be all over the place. Diameter, width, tread, etc.. Someone with a 35 will take a much bigger hit than someone with 33s. The Raptor comes with 35s and gets 13 mpg. It's 13 mpg because of the tires not the engine. Put 31.5 tires on it and change the gearing and it'll probably do very well on mpg. I have 33x12.50x18 tires and my average over the entire life of 10,000 miles is right about 16 when you factor in the speedo error. That's all city, which includes the L.A. freeway system, a.k.a. "Tijuana Gran Prix". I'm in the 2-3 mpg loss. I'm guessing 35s are gonna be around 3-5 mpg loss or more.

      Oil Consumption

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That's not what I was talking about.   I have not seen it specifically documented that bottom of the hatched area equates to "1 quart low".    I've never measured or compared a dipstick reading at the bottom of the acceptable range, added 1 quart, took a new reading and it be exactly at the top of the range.   My view of the manual is if it is BELOW the mark, add one quart at a time until the level is within the hatched area, 1 quart could put it 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 all the way there. I don't know, none of mine have been BELOW the mark to require adding any to find out.   However, if over 400 miles it takes multiple quarts to keep it in the hatched area, yes, that is a problem.   EDIT: None of my vehicles have ever been to the bottom of the range, every check shows them give or take somewhere on the top half of range. (I might even challenge my own memory and say at worst the top 3/4s.)   Never to the bottom, much less below the "add" mark, so I've never added 1 quart to see how much it moves the level up the stick. Circling back to my point, the volume coming out is less than what everyone suggests my dipstick readings should be indicating.    If from the top to bottom mark of the hatched area equates to 1 quart of oil, I would see the dipstick reading (on every vehicle I've touched in the last 30 years) be at the top of the mark when I fill with new oil and be at the bottom just prior to changing; based on what I am measuring in the drain pan. However, the dipstick readings are NOT showing that amount of drop. See above.

      Adding Autosense Hands Free to Powered Hatch / OR Anyone have Experience with Aftermarket Hands Free Sensor?

      By fsu_prov · Posted

      Anyone have any experience with adding the autosense module to a high trim suburban/tahoe?    2026 Chevy Suburban High Country - Did not have the "tech pkg" but does have the High Country Deluxe pkg. Absolutely wild this is not a standard feature.    OEM route - if it's already a powered hatch, has anyone tried to install the module for the hands free and tried to get GM to reprogram the BCM?    Aftermarket route - if OEM is impossible or too much of hassle, does anyone have any experience with aftermarket hands free sensor options?     I know Ensight Automotive does the conversions, and I've read a little about ISS Automotive. Any experience with these options/vendors?

      Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP - 12 Quarts - $50

      By nominion · Posted

      I purchased these two 6 quart boxes of Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP for my 2018 GMC Sierra with the intent to change the fluid, but I never got a chance as I sold the truck in 2021.  Both boxes have been in my garage ever since and are new and have not been opened.  Asking $50 for local pickup/meet in the Western PA area.  I can probably ship, but that would be at the buyer's expense.

      P219B after AFM delete on stock cam, already had a Trifecta AFM-disable tune. Need a retune or is it something else?

      By TQUAP · Posted

      Unfortunately the most I can speak to how everything was reassembled is that I have used Joe quite a bit and he's always proven knowledgable, capable and honest. As to individual things he did I just can't say. I do know that he was under a time crunch to get all of this done and personally if I were in that situation I know I would be more susceptible to making minor mistakes. Though he did tell me he took the truck on an extended test drive after buttoning everything up and it did not throw a code for him.   With everything I know about the situation and as a layman, if I had to hazard a guess I'd say there's a non-trivial chance something minor that was overlooked. I was kind of hoping to narrow it down to a smaller subset of possibilities so I could have a more useful conversation with him.   A DOD-delete cam did come with the kit and the pictures Joe provided of the job indicate it was installed.   To my knowledge all O2 sensors are OEM. I purchased the truck at 75k miles about a year ago and the sensors were never replaced under my ownership.   On the intake gaskets, I supplied the parts and I did specifically purchase and give Joe all new gaskets to install. Anything that was indicated to be one time use, I purchased a new one of and supplied to him.

      Shopping for new truck and have question.

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      Double trust, huh?   I hear ya.   Side note, one can get trust off the internet. I belong to a Pontiac message board such as this. I sold a complete  running Pontiac 455 that I built in the late `80`s. Most won`t touch a complete engine. Especially an older one. The dude offered me $500 more than I was asking. He paid the truck freight to Lubbock TX. All I did was build a crate for it.   I told the dude he was ballsy. He says, "I trust you".
