You should've stuck with stock because those are the ugliest wheels I've seen. Oh and nice plasti dip job. That looks like factory paint........can't polish a turd my friend.

You obviously don't know anything about anything, nothing plasti-dipped on his truck. Move along, child.

Pulled off the McGaughy's flip kit and installed the DJM kit last night, quality is night and day. After about 30 minutes I was able to get the pinion angle to within a tenth of the trans angle, all vibration gone, truck rides great, a huge upgrade. The whole back end just feels tighter with the DJM brackets than the McGaughy's did, was getting a lot of rear end judder that wasn't driveline related, all of that is gone now.

Final verdict, McGaughy's front spindles, DJM rear flip, a winning combination.

Can't fix stupid. Looks like he's just burning his bridge on the way out, with him selling his truck.

OEM, aftermarket, doesn't matter because they are ugly. Not a keyboard warrior, I just speak the truth. Open forum means all opinions are welcome. Don't post pictures of you can't take the criticism.

I think you did right on the 3-5 IMO... 4-7 looks good but not for a daily around here.

I agree, it does look good but not practical, and while the 5 still isn't for the feint of heart give all the brackets I just cut off a truck with less than 500 miles on it, you basically have to run a C-notch on a drop more than 5 to keep it off the stops, at 7 you're riding on the stops. I'm happy with how it turned out and the ride is as good, if not better than stock. And I appreciate the help with all my questions, RT.

Been trying to work out my drop for the last few weeks and not sure what route to go.

Trying to determine if I should get McGaughy's front drop spindles or DJM's lower control arms for a 2" drop??

 

I know I will be ordering DJM's rear flip kit.

 

Right now I am lowered on Belltech's front drop shocks with the rear shackles and blocks removed for a 1/3" drop, but I am not liking it. Seems like the rear is really stiff and not sturdy. I get a wobble when cruising down the highway at 70-80. Hope the flip kit fixes this and whatever I get on the front makes this drop feel better.

Wobble is probably from the shackles, they change your pinion angle. I would do the spindles up front.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
