The bump stop cap is different. That's the large metal cup thing that slides down over the top of the shock. I'm missing a tiny snap ring that sits in a grove near the top of the piston rod.

My bad. I see the part you're talking about now. Either way, call Bilstein and they'll send you the right piece.

I put the bilstein 5100s on the rear of my 14 High Country with a new 2" block a few weeks ago. Ride is unbelievable compared to stock. Liked it so much I got the adjustable 5100s for my front, remove

Hello, I'm not new to the forum but I just joined and figured I'd contribute to the community.   2016 Silverado 1500 "Z71" removed rancho's and swapped with Bilstein 5100's all around. So after d

I just got done with installing my 6112's on my 2014 GMC Sierra Crew Cab.  Reading some install guides on here really helped, along with printing some Chilton Repair guide torque specs that I got from

Are there any companies like carli or thuren that build high end kits for chevys? Coming from a dodge and there isn't a lot of competition for carli or thuren components.

Called Bilstein first thing this morning. The shipped out the missing circlip ring. They told me that little piston rod snap ring holds your top hat in place, so it is necessary!

Got mine from shock warehouse. One came without the hardware. Shock warehouse wouldn't return emails or calls. Had to get another shock from somebody else. when I called Bilstein they said they couldn't take the one back with no hardware as they didn't sell it. Shock warehouse still won't respond. The shocks are nice however. Ride much smoother than the rancho's.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.

      Just pull the inside door handle.  It has mechanical override to the lock.

      Got to have those sliding doors. One of my favorite things about a minivan. The Kia does a good job of making a minivan look like an SUV. I may do a Toyota next. I want the awd option.

      Mixed info from dealer and manual RE: 10 Speed 45K service

      By HajjitheDoberman · Posted

      I took my 24 Sierra Denali 4wd in at 37,000 miles. Had the mileage maintenance checks done, asked them to change out the two limited slip differentials, including the limited slip additive, and change out the transfer case fluid. They rotated my tires, verified my shocks weren’t leaking, and whatever minor checkouts that were on the list for 37,000 miles. About three hours later, they charged me $600 and sent me off. I was considering having the 10-speed transmission serviced, but between the posts on this forum and previous experiences with transmission failures after a fluid and filter change, I decided against the tranny fluid changeout when the service advisor told me it would take about 3 hours and cost about $500. After growing up working in three different full-service gas stations, I know to stay far away from flushing machines connected to any automatic transmission. I don’t meet the severe duty schedule, but I may follow the 45,000 mile tranny service, unless  i see more problems from doing so on the forums. I expect I will want to watch the entire procedure. The various utube videos do a decent job of showing how much time and attention should be taken for a correct fluid &filter replacement, so witnessing the procedure seems something I should do. Trust but Verify🥳 Otherwise, I’ll follow the owner’s manual recommendations, whatever they are.
