are you using just the blocks on the back or the deaver j1? whatever that is, and are you using the regular coil over or the reservoir coilover? 

CST 3” blocks plus add a leaf

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.

I’ve got my original front coils fitted with Bilstein 5100’s in the event I need to replace coil overs but so far very satisfied. The kit comes with 4.5” coil spacers and rear blocks. I still have my original UCA’s and recently had everything checked out, found in excellent condition with excellent angles.

so what about the front lower control arms? are you using something different from stock then? when my truck was lowered both the lower and upper controls were replaced and the original front coils were retained, so I have to source some new control arms to do a lift.

The rear shocks. The cylinder attached to the main shock is holding all the fluids allowing the main shock to perform cooler and the shaft having more depth. Love them!

The rear add a leaf can vary in cost from manufacturers, not completely sure as I had lots done to it all at once but maybe $100 a pair.

Here’s the same lift a bit cheaper at this place but I’d check with CST as they’ve got 20% off sales every year. Either way, with this kit, you can keep original wheels and tires, add larger tires, keeping original front shocks just needing rear shocks until you figure out later adding higher end shocks if needed.

I was running 34” Nitto Ridge Grapplers and after very disappointing two separate sets I switched to 33.5” KO2’s. My wheels are 20x9 plus 1 offset.

Got bored on the way home. Decided to turn the traction control / ABS off and just pedal to the metal.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
