17x9.5, designed for GM trucks but doesn't fit this body style without a 1/4" spacer. Until the small brake kit goes on for a 15".

 

 

I'm getting my rear Vikings soon. And I found a bolt in coil over mount for the front so I'll be getting viking up front as well

Got a link to the mount? Edited by Darth_Vader

Can you link me to what spacer ? And can you.get a closet picture of the banjo bolt with your wheels. I want to see how far away it is

And I'm almost positive there's a 15 wheel kit for your truck. 1320 makes it. Uses a smaller disc and an s10 caliper I'm not remember right

I didn't have time to read through all the pages.

 

I've got a 2016 1500 crew cab 4x4. Looking for a 2/4 or 3/5 drop. Don't want to mess with the driveline. Does not appear to much out in the marketplace. I do want to be able to tow and would prefer a bag setup in the rear. Anyone have any input? TIA.

1/4 or 2/5. With towing at bolt in mcg helpers. You won't know about driveline angles until the kit is installed

You are correct, they make the brackets, the rest is easily sourced equipment.

I have a 2/4 Belltech kit for sale if you're interested.

I noticed this today. Looks like I need to pull the shafts and have it shortened

Got a shot of the QA1's last weekend. Had to use a couple of washers and grind down a bit off the mount so it wouldn't hit on the bottom but you get the idea. I'm running about 4 on the setting and it matches the McG's up front well. I prefer them at a 3 or 4 but the back gets too soft. I'll eventually switch the front to QA1 coilovers.

Darth- do you have a part number? I've got my factory shocks with extenders for my 5" drop and it rides ok, but I want to be prepared for when they blow out.

Had the same problem, thus why I went with the aluminum aftermarket unit, go ahead and replace that output seal as it will start leaking soon.

I used the TS709 (S being single adjustment, TD709 is dual) but I highly suggest you measure your compression and stroke to verify that they are in the same range. The TS709's are 19.5" extended, 12.8" compressed.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
