Probably, but that would require effort lol 

I need to get my coilovers in.  I'm having the exhaust done this weekend and my new rupes pilisher shows so you know I have to test it out. I'm hoping to get the coilovers in next weekend. Also I'm ordering new wheels in the next month

finally got my drivers side front clunking noise issue fixed, by installing belltech front lowering struts part#25004 and also reinstalling the stock springs and removing the drop springs that came with my CROWN lowering kit.  truck is riding a lot better. the only issue i have now is, that im getting more front end rubbing when wheels at full lock, than before due to the fact that the truck is sitting a little lower than before.  I want the truck sitting level, so now i have to address that problem. either lower the back so more or raise the front a 1/2 inch.  THIS IS BEFORE

Is the belltech strut at the lowest setting? The strut is all you used to lower the front? I ask bc I need to install mine, and am wondering if I should only lower it an inch. 

 

Thanks

Yes I only used the lowering strut, it's set at the lowest setting which is 2inches.

I looked through 100+ pages and didn’t find anything on helper bags. Maybe I didn’t look hard enough but does anyone have a 2/4 drop with helper bags? I’m currently leveled with drop shackles but want to do a 2/4 drop.

Will it work with a 2/4 flip kit? Do you have a part number and how much are you looking to get?

Anyone lower then 2/5 on stock size tires without getting a bunch of rubbing?

 

Im considering adding spindles and going to 3/6 or 4/6 but im running 285/45/22 on 22x9.5 +24mm wheels, and i would rather stay at my current drop then go to a smaller tire.

My current drop is 2/5 (Belltech shocks/flip kit) right now and have no rubbing, but its definitely close to the fender liner on the front..

also anyone having issues with 4x4 on a 4/6 drop, that needs to work with our winters here! haha

I am currently using 275/55/20 stock tires and rims. Belltech spindles and struts. My struts are set with 2pcs of 8mm spacers (16mm) on the passenger side while the driver’s side at 24mm(or 3pcs of the 8mm spacers). From the lip of the rim, it measures 7.5”. To answer your question, I haven’t experienced any rubbing so far. Or say, with my normal driving, so far no rubbing at all. By the way, I  have a 4x4 rcsb too.

I think I may have a very slight vibration off the start but will be a totally smooth drive after. Is this the “small vibration” that a lowered truck that most of you guys are talking? The Belltech flip kit comes with the transmission spacer, though it says  in the instruction for 2WD only(I’m 4WD) so I am wandering if this is the spacer for that regardless. 

 

I know now some of our guys here uses the same Belltech parts. May I know anyone experiencing the same and did you use the spacer or what.

 

i am on a 3.5” / 5” set up.

I feel this same vibration that you are experiencing.  I want to put a spacer in, I wish belltech gave you one for the 4x4 that didn't consist of stacked washers.

I sent an email to Belltech just a while ago. Provided them the details. Hope to receive some feedback from them next week. I also brought up the rear shocks 2210FF ride quality in a RCSB. To my taste, I feel that the shocks are a bit stiffer. I asked them for any suggestions/alternative shocks , if they have.

Tbis is normal I think. I've had it the whole time I've had my truck lowered. No matter what just off the start its slight for a second and then it stops

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
