Awesome review and answers IceMan. Thank you.

Too funny about the height difference before and after. VERY odd. [emoji848]

Still torn between Nitto TG, RG or WildPeaks. I’ll do some more price checking tomorrow.

Lastly, you chose the BDS level over others; such as the famous Rough Country. Why and what did it run you?

No problem at all! Glad to pass along info whenever I can.

To answer your last question; the short of I️t is peace of mind....

BDS offers a warranty that in my opinion isn’t beat or even matched by any other company in the industry. For the originally purchaser, BDS offers a lifetime warranty on their parts and a matched(supplemental) power train warranty for 5yrs/60,000 miles for the trucks factory parts. In other words if you break something on your truck and GM says I️t broke because the BDS kit was installed, even if you know they’re lying through their teeth; BDS will step in and cover the cost.

Coming from the modified Subaru scene I can tell you all about how the Magnuson Moss Act SHOULD work and how I️t typically DOES work...... so having an after company that will back factory parts is a huge value added for me.

The level kit was $138 in parts and with install and alignment it was $396. A little steep in my opinion for a level kit but part of the way they get you is the warranty is only good with authorized professional install. Would have loved to have done the install myself and saved the coin but such is life...

The break down was:
$138 parts
$155 install
$70 alignment
$33 NYS sales tax

Has any one tired RUFFINO RENEGADE II? 3f7f0330046039694122f2f4db072d47.jpg

I'm thinking about moving down rim size, and the tire place I go to is having a sale on rims and tires this rim being one of them.

Great looking truck. Does this set-up rub or require any trimming of the wheel well liner? I plan to drop down to 17 inch method wheels and wrap them with 285/70 Ridge Grapplers. And I’m leaning toward a 1.5 inch ready-lift front level. How much room do you have with the 2 inch level?

I mean the rims look straight. I have the same tires on my truck except 305/55/20. Had them for probably 800 miles now. They seem good to me. I ordered mine through custom offsets

Lots of guys at work have them, I just want them to make my insurance go down a little with the snow rating. So for those tires and rims it's $1350 no tpms best deal I could find.

2" level gave me plenty of room. No rubbing at any point, forward or reverse.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully I can stay clear with the 1.5 inch level.

Just purchased this truck. Currently on 265/65/18 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. I was thinking also of downsizing to 17, to look a bit more aggressive with 285/70 with maybe BFG TA KO2. leveling 1.5 or 2. Definitely don't want any rubbing or trimming. What you guys think?

Did you mean  285/65r18 as those look bigger than 265/65?   And Duratracs are much more aggressive than KO2s.

285/65r18 and 285/70r17 aren't big enough size difference to be worth buying new 17" rims...both are going to fit fine with a 1.5 or 2" level.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
