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.

ya I think so it's a big fatty I was under it the other day looking to see if it was the oem one or not, my truck is lowered 4/6 and I get some vibrations but hard to tell what the cause is I don't know if it is the tires, wheels, driveline, or something else.

Mine got that Chevy shake since day one. But not THAT BAD. Until I dropped the back 3.5”. Then it’s really bad. Adjusted the driveline angles and it’s like 99% gone.

2” drop shackle with the block removed. I got about 3.4” out of it. No notch.

I do have VAS traction bar, hellwig’s sway bar and air lift or rideRite air bags with custom brackets for towing. Gonna grind the overload leaf off soon.

On my 04 RCSB, I started with a 4/6, had to put the factory shackle back in, new shims and it was very smooth, just a harsh bottom out once in a while.

 

It shook so bad at the start, they ended up replacing the transmission case because all of the seals were leaking. Took it the first week on a 100 plus mile drive each way, was the craziest thing I have ever encountered in a car.

Oh damn. At least they replaced everything for you! I got extended warranty but I don’t wanna take my truck in for anything!!!! I’ve done a good amount of things to it now that they might just not touch any of it.

On that body style, there is a pressed in seal at the end of the transmission where the output shaft exits, and has a little boot with a weep hole on it, they all start dripping at one time.

The shake broke the seal and my was putting lakes of fluid on the floor and on the bottom of the truck.

 

The dealer installed the drop, so it was warranted by GM.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
