What have you done to your K2 today?

I don't get it, how do you break a pushrod by jumping it.

I don't get it, how do you bend a pushrod by jumping it. 

 

Almost looks like you couldn't get enough speed and the front slammed back down on the incline? 

Lol the jump didn't cause the pushrod to break, happened two days later. Multiple dealer trips for ticking and they said it sounded normal. Failed 3k miles out of warranty. As far as the jump, I had plenty of speed but caught a rut on the way up and hit the lip of the jump fully compressed. Suspension took it just fine. Skid plate (plastic splash shield) not so much. Already got DOM tubing and aluminum plate on the way for a custom radius bar/skid plate. Pushrod situation will be fixed with a BTR cam, full dod delete, Johnson lifters, dual valve springs etc. All on the way. Assuming there's no piston/head damage. The cylinder/piston with the broken pushrod looked fine through the spark plug hole on a borescope. Just have to clear a space in the garage to wrench on it over winter.

Put Klearz in my headlights. And took my bumper off to get powder coated

Installed Motofab 2.5” front spacer and Kryptonite upper control arms. Rear will be going up 2” as well and hopefully have the new wheels/tires on this weekend.

Found these tires/wheels on marketplace 

20x9 et1 wrapped in 305/55r20 

they rub on the little plastic fender guard things but a razor knife will fix that. A little loud but it’s whatever. Love the stance.

Had the vacuum pump replaced under special coverage and the rear pinion seal replaced under power train warranty on my 2016.

What were the symptoms?

Looks awesome, what leveling/lift do you have? I have similar wheel specs on a 2" level and am going with 275/60/20's. A little bit narrower so I'm assuming they will fit just fine with no rubbing.

Put LED bulbs on my Cargo Lamp/3rd brake light assembly (HMSL)

i ended up doing 2" front and 1" rear just because i usually have some weight in the back with tools and stuff

you should be fine with the 275s. I originally wanted 285/60r20 but these were cheap so i scooped them up.

Of the vacuum pump?

At 10,000’ I would get the following error message after idling for 2 or 3 minutes. Truck felt hard to stop at times, more so when backing up. [At home @5,000’ I didn’t get the message.]

 

Service write-up says they saw Code C0299 set. I imagine this is the flag that the error message above was triggered, or more likely the low vacuum condition was detected.

This was true of my truck as well. It has had that tick for the past year I have owned it. It was only slight, so I chalked it up to injector noise. After the new pump, I noticed the engine was much quieter (no tick).

Maybe I need to address mine then. I've thought it was the high pressure fuel pump/direct injection that was making that ticking noise for the last 5 years I have had the truck.

So I eneded up getting it wrapped again. Got inspiration from a Google search pic that I included in this post. Pretty sure the owner is a member of the forum. Went wider with the stripes and to the edge of the hood. I think it turned out great. I also had the hood ceramic coated so they say it should last up to 4-5 yrs now.

I was about to suggest to do something to accent the curves of the hood.  THAT WORKS!!!

I put in a set of the lighted GMC door sills & trimmed the mats to not cover them up. But I didn’t mess with the wiring part.
