I was going to also mention the rear lift blocks. Never been a fan of lift blocks unless it's only about a 2" lift. 4" or bigger I'd rather spend the extra money for add-a-leafs or all new leaf springs with the lift built into it.

Planning on all new leafs when I get the Mcgaughy. Trying to save up for it all. Will have new rims as well (same but 20x10 instead)

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.

Aren't the new bigger leafs only if you want to be able to load more in the bed of the truck.

The bigger leafs I'm talking about isn't for stiffness, it's the ones made with a lift built into it. If you go to a site like BDS you have the option of just lift blocks for the rear or actual replacement leaf springs with the lift built into it.

They have a higher arch that's all, supposed to keep the factory ride. I would say they would be a bit stiffer considering they have more leafs in them

I've got the BDS springs and they are worth the $350. Rides a tad stiffer in the rear but when towing there is less drop than even stock springs. Very good springs and worth every penny

Saw these as a suggested item while looking at other stuff on amazon, thinking about getting them considering Ive torn up my driver side sill, its all scratched up and what not. Figure this would be a band aid/ fix.

Or I could always go with the clear bra roll and cut it to my desired width and heighth, hmmmm

I'd buff and polish the area then clear bra it.

I didn't do this today but a couple days ago. So I got my truck tuned by Black Bear and I gotta say...I think I made a huge mistake. I waited way too long because I should've gotten this tune when I first bought the truck. It's night and day! The 6.2 feels like a completely different beast after some tuning. There's virtually no throttle lag anymore, it just "goes" when you step on it. I absolutely love it.

 

My tune is optimized for a set of long tube headers and exhaust that haven't been installed yet. However, a shop should be getting it done very soon. I was told once my headers and new exhaust are installed the tune will be running much more efficiently. Safe to say I feel like a bit of kid again so I figured I'd share with my GM truck buddies. :cool:

Ive got a wear spot in the paint on that step down in that area and I think its from the seal. These look rough, worried about them eating at the door seal?

I want a tune for driveability but can't justify the $600. I just don't have it.

I paid 320 for a slightly used diablosport i2 tuner in the for sale section, keep an eye out for them

Or you can get a used Autocal for $150. Then for $300 you can get a new license and tune from blackbear.

I believe Black Bear offers a "rented" autocal option as well. Where you pay a deposit, tune your truck, return the auto cal and receive your deposit.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
