Is MRT offering any promo codes for forum members? I really want a set of these for my truck over the spacers offered by other companies. I had a set of these on a Tacoma I had and loved them.

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

They already have the cheapest price I could find after shipping and tax. Amazon and 4 wheel parts were close but shipping or tax or both made them more expensive in the end.

Yeah same here but it never hurts to ask. Trying to make my dollars stretch as far as I can, especially this time of year.

Same here- I had a set of 6112's/5160's on my Tacoma. Great shocks! Firm but not harsh, very controlled. For the $$ spent that suspension is hard to beat.

Thanks for the orders everyone!

 

Unfortunately we cant offer any more discounts on the 4600 or 5100 series shocks. We lowered the price once already in this thread to give you all the best price we can, which beats Amazon, Summit and 4wp. We'd love to be able to sell them for less, but Bilstein only raises prices and never lowers them on us.

 

On the 6112, we will be offering a very large discount on the first production run. At this point we dont know when these will be available for purchase as the release date has been pushed a few times.

 

There will be a price increase from Bilstein Jan 1st, everything from the OE shocks to the 5100s will be affected. We are not sure if the 6112/8112 price is going up.

Thanks for the info, I'm going to try and order a set before the end of the year.

So ordered the 5100s end of November from MRT, had the best price. I got the fronts on 12/15, but no rears. I emailed and got a quick response that rears had to ship separate direct from bilstein. Should be a couple days behind and they'd check for me. Well it's 12-24 and no rears, no shipping info and after several emails, calls or texts never answered still no rear shocks...

 

I really try to support forum vendors but this makes it hard..

Did you try to buy them? I did found out they were basically four rears which won't work.

They have a set that are the right part numbers on the site and I did buy them. I have the right fronts but just no communication about where my rears are.

The ones I bought were a set of fronts and rears...that's what the deal was for.

Can you tell me where you found the deal? I have been wanting to put new shocks on my truck also. For that price, it might as well be the 5100's. I was thinking of going thr 4600 route.

4 wheel parts...it's not straight forward to find, but they did offer that deal.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
