Installed a 1" bottom mount strut spacer to go along with my top mount 1.5" strut spacer in the front.

 

Groud to center of fender before:

 

Rear = 40"

Front = 38.5"

 

Ground to center fender after:

 

Rear = 40"

Front = 39.5"

 

Finally happy to have gotten rid of the rake and riding pretty much level now.

Good looking stance above.

 

My little contribution to my truck today was to order some 25w HIDs for the fogs from HID Guy. Pricey little things. I'll see if they're low enough lumems to actually use with oncoming traffic or if they're like the 35w HIDs I've put in my earlier trucks where they just flame-thrower so big that adjusting doesn't do enough for oncoming traffic. You have to shut the fogs off on my other truck or you blind the other drivers.

Got those pesky radio knobs fixed! Lol.

I took mine in to get an oil change. I mentioned how these do not light up, thinking they wouldn't know anything about it (small dealership). Anyway, the manager didn't have a clue, but said he'd talk to the guy in Service to see what they can do. Well he called me today, said there was a long note put out by Chevy that they wont fix it, and basically to bad.

 

I guess its not a big deal, but I wish they would have told me all this prior to me buying it. O'well..

Had a pleasant day with the truck today. Took it to the dealer to get recall work performed and pick up license plates. Also had them look at a blemish in the paint on the drivers door that I didn't notice until after the first wash. Got to the dealer and they checked their records and recall work had already been done while it was on the lot waiting to be sold. I didn't have high hopes for the blemish as I expected them to tell me that it was tree sap or bird poop from my house and I would be SOL. But they had their paint guy look at it and confirm that it was bird poop; he took it in the back for 5 minutes and buffed it out right then. So what I was expecting to be a long day at the dealer turned into a short morning.

    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

    • I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem? 
    • I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
