Can you get me a picture of the distance between the frame and axle ?

Thats a hard picture to capture. The truck is low hahafa082b1687377b3ac096664baeaa8f7a.jpg

What stop are.you using and did you.have to drill and tap? I'm at 7 in the rear and I haven't put y bump stop in yet.

 

I'm asking because my helper bags don't allow the suspension to drill enough to get a drill in. Which sucks. I manage to pull my bags out to put the stop in

I will check that out tomorrow. I ran out of daylight waxing it after work. 39e275b8371cfecd50e3fbe87d283b91.jpgc0846a1dc72198119ba70dddf9b7088f.jpga6016a0810907528f08935de62cda25f.jpg0085e17d212b9e01a7a897bfcc7ef9f8.jpg6b075e647d409a958b05a8a685d7ef6d.jpgf57029bd3d223752cccba9b60ab60b50.jpg

Damn I just noticed. You got hit with it more than I did.

 

Your front wheel isn't centered anymore. Worse then mine. I thought the djm arms corrected that

It's a little off, but not much. I only have the lower arm, and I went lower with the strut too, so I'm sure that effects it.

Ya it does. I'm going to get the correction arms though. In the near future. It bugs the hell out of me

Just bought a '17 LTZ. I've always leveled these trucks 2" up front but I think I'm going with more a of a sport look on this one. So 2" shackles only, shackles and no block,shackles and 1/2" block or no shackles and remove the factory block only? I don't want any vibration issues since this one has the none what so ever and my other three K2's had some. Thanks guys.

You won't know about vibrations until you.try. every truck is differant

Which option would I have the least chance?

No option is better then the other. I would do a shackle and block delete. And go from there

I was thinking shackles first that way I still have some wiggle room when I tow my boat.

I'm pretty happy with them. They don't look like 20's though.

You have my trucks twin, except I wish mine was this low. Good job, looks nice!

I think the polished lips give the appearance of a much smaller wheel. However. certainly is a neat look!

It is a bit deceiving, but it looks great. Even much better in person versus photos.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
