I'm a HUGE fan of the RCSB; love the maneuverability of the short wheelbase.

You guys have some amazing trucks; inspirational to say the least.

 

Here's mine: 2" level, 285/65r18 KO2s, Softopper and a few misc. bits.

(shamefully dirty; pic was just after tires got installed)

Nice Truck!

What lowering kit did you install and does it affect your turning radius?

Is that a BBK you installed or painted calipers? The rotors look large!

And most important, how is the handling on twisties?

Thanks!

Belltech, 4/6, front spindles and drop shocks, rear flip kit. I haven't noticed any loss of turning radius. 

Brake kit is the GM Performance 6 piston with 16.1" rotors.  

The truck handles, rides and stops great.  I have a supercharger I need to install.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to look into that kit. I was just on the lowering thread and asked Nasty for his opinion on a kit as well.

Are your rims 20" or larger to fit the BBK?

Your truck looks menacing!

I'm looking more for the sleeper look though...catch the unsuspecting Pony....LOL!

 

SC install is on my list down the road and I think that would be ultimate.

I was looking at Hennessy's pkg, but for the cost the hp gain didn't seem balanced, then again they're a business, so the high price is expected...just too high for me.

What would be your hp gain with your SC?

My wheels are 22", I have another set that's 20" also.  

 

I got the SLP TVS1900, they claim a 165hp increase at the flywheel with thier tune, but I'm going to get a custom dyno tune.

Just to keep the mods happy, I'll mention that the RCSB are awesome when lowered!

 

I like the look of your rims, but that counters the sleeper look...LOL!

Did you notice a big difference with the BBK?

I'm a believer in late braking!

 

That kit is much cheaper $$ than the Hennessy option, and better at balancing the HP/Wallet ratio!

Has the lowering affected your 4wheel or AWD in any way?

 

You'll need to start a new thread once that SC is installed because there will be a lot of questions from others.

Looking forward to hear the outcome of that install!

BBK=Big Brake Kit?:dunno:

Yup, Big Brake Kit.

You're correct Nasty, most of the money goes for the plaque. They don't do any internal upgrading, just install a SC.

Im not sure if you know tony lutezic.  Norcalss. Hes had a call out on hennessey for almost a year.   His whipple 416 Escalade vs Hennessey.  Same modifications for half the price

    • I really appreciate the response.  I guess I was confused about torque angle vs torque angle yield.  The individual bolts don't have a warning on reuse but the part number for the LCA nuts does.   Regarding the purpose of the moog grease fittings on their bolts .. Guessing to reduce possibility of corrosion locking the cams or seizing to the bushing inserts.
    • The top speed is software limited, I don't think there's a way to change it without de-doing the whole truck. If you can get a CAN log per my above post we can try seeing if there's anything obvious going on. What happens when you plug the truck in to charge it, does it ever fully charge up or does it stay at low battery %?
    • The LCA bolts are NOT a one time use fastener.  GM does not have them called out as such at all.   They are torque plus degree, but not a one time use TTY.  Nowhere in the service manual does it call out for replacing the LCA bolts for being one time use.  The factory spec would apply to the Moog bolts as well.    I see two things different.  The Moog bolts are greaseable (which I see no point in) and they don't have one of the washers welded to the bolt like the factory bolts, so they can be used in all 4 positions.      Think about it.  The LCA bolts are now the alignment adjustment point, instead of the UCA bolts like the prior generation.  A bolt that is meant to be adjusted for alignment...would it make sense to make it a one time use component?  How would you get an alignment done in the first place?  You couldn't.       Also.  What TSB exactly?  There is no TSB that I see for 2019-2026 for over-torquing LCA bolts.  There was a PI, PIT5533C, but that covered 2014-2018 body trucks for re-torquing LCA mounting bolts.  But those trucks to a 2019-2026?  Not the same, so PIT5533C does not apply.    
    • Nice looking setup!  Is this the kit you got?  If so 211 is a great deal!  https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/trailering-camera-system-86584184   My TT came with a wireless rear camera but it only works on an app or a separate screen they sell so I've decide it's not worth the hassle since it keeps disconnecting and with wireless android auto it's a hassle trying to connect my phone to it.  So I've been thinking about adding the GM camera so it's integrated into the rest of the camera views.   I also found this one which seems to be a different PN & retail price that explicitly states the invisible trailer view https://www.shopchevyparts.com/chevrolet/2024/silverado-2500-hd/electronics/85825715-silverado-2500-trailer-camera-transparent-view-requires-trg-camera-provisions-p-92326971.html?sort=2a
