So true, quality goes way beyond just looks. My shop actually charges more to install rough country vs BDS because the BDS kit is way easier to install and align. All of these details are very often overlooked but you really do get what you pay for including the warranty

When I had my CST lift installed on my 2012 the installer (across the street from my work at the time) called me up and had me come over. I thought the lift had been damaged in shipping or something. Nope, instead they were so impressed with the quality they wanted to show me the difference between my kit and a rough country they were installing on an HD truck. Needless to say I believe they are a CST dealer now lol.

I'd install those afterwards since they clamp on. That way the area will be fully covered and you want have to worry about cutting line x with a razor blade (always looks like shit). But at the same time I don't have the tie downs in front of me. Always good to ask the shop thier thoughts too.

Yeah, i'm going to bring them with me and ask the guy his thoughts. My thinking is that if they spray while they are in, then it'll be a continuous layer of line-x throughout.

 

i'm also wondering what to do about the screw holes that will be left by the plastic bed liner? If i should spray any type of rust preventer in there prior too?

The Line-X will get into the screw holes and cover the bare metal. But to be safe I'd spray some rust preventative paint in them.

Well here she is with 275/70/18 Cooper ST/Maxx tires with Rancho Quick lifts in the front and 3" block with 9000xl's in the rear. Rides amazing and surprised how quiet the ST/Maxx tires are.

New wheels yesterday and installed steps myself today.

American Outlaw Deputy 20x9 w/ Cooper Discoverer ATP 275/60R20 (previously purchased)

Westin HDX Drop Steps

Lifted: Pro Comp ProRunner SS struts and shocks. Pro Comp 2.25" leveling kit.

Tried the struts on the highest level and they topped out hard over bumps. So they flipped them to stock height and threw in the level kit no charge. Thx 4WP

Driveway is slanted and it's dirty. Truck is level though.

So my truck currently needs to have the headlights, grille and lower grille valance installed. Once that is complete she'll be 100% again. Odd problem I have right now is that non of my parking sensors are working. But at the same time my DIC doesn't tell me there is a problem either. I can only assume it's because my headlights are not installed. Prior to this when I drove it with no bumpers or lights on it said there was an error with my sensors. Anyone have insight into this?

Nothing too exciting. I have been looking for this type of solution since April when I picked up my truck. My previous vent clips/mounts that worked on my Avalanche horizontal vents didn't cut the mustard on the 2016 vertical vents. Plus in Phoenix in the summer you really need your FULL VENT!! :tumbleweed: So I will be ready for summer next year.

Found a "black box" detail kit on sale at an auto parts store for $8.00. Weather in Florida finally cooled off, got a couple coats of wax on her.

    • I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.  
    • Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.
    • Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.  
    • Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
