Took the rear blocks out and bought an air wrench halfway through the job.  Sure you can do it by hand, but you really don't want to.
How much did it lower the back and do you have magneride? Was just curious...any pics of results and job to remove the block.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Nope, just the regular GM suspension.  Before the air tools I made some mistakes on jack placement and one side ended up costing me about two hours with hand tools and apologizing to a neighbor when my wheel went on an adventure.

 

After the air wrench and knowing where to put the jack stands and floor jack, the passenger side took less than twenty minutes.  Embarrassingly faster.  I do have drop shackles on too so it dropped it about dead even.

 

As for pictures, you might want to take a swim through the leveling kits thread that's stickied.  Lots of pics and info in there.    This post has pics with the drop shackles on and blocks removed.

I’ve heard it’s perfectly normal for first fluid change but should be less the next go round. I just hit 60k so this is a first for all drivetrain

Did you put anything around the housing before placing the seal back on?

Do you need to replace the transfer case bolt when you change the fluid? I read online that it needs to be replaced or it could snap off.

The drain plug? No need to replace, just don't overtighten...

Make sure you loosen the fill plug first, then the drain...sometimes they seize and are difficult to remove.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
