Hey guys, I've been searching but there's already a ton of new info on hear since looking in last fall hard. I just signed papers and am picking up my new '15 All Terrain 6.2 this coming weekend. I was curious if anyone has installed airbags on their trucks yet. I am pulling my air bag (suspension helper) kit off my Duramax and am going to see if it is adaptable to my new truck. I only had an hour with the truck and was so amazed at all the bells and whistles and forgot to look it over for a good mounting location for my 2 1/16" gauge to control my bags. Has anyone put anything like this in these trucks yet? I have the center console.

 

This thing is so sweet inside, what a step up from my 05 SLE duramax haha.

I just installed bags on my all terrain I went with airlift and the airlift one controller. install was a piece of cake and the controller / display is on my sunvisor. since its wireless you can throw it in a glove box.

How was the install and where did you put the compressor? I'm planning to get this same set up after I get my lift, rims, and tires (if I can ever decide on what height lift I want haha)

I mounted it right above the spare tire on the back side of the brace that the tire rests against. passenger side.

Heard some reviews of the compressor not being able to hold up to water much so people were putting it in the bed of trucks or some have even put them in the cab under rear seat. Do you see putting it by the spare being a problem in the long run?

Well it would be impossible for road debris to hit any part of it directly and if there was a way to attach a filter over the entire thing I would think it would be fairly easy to keep the dust out. I would probably recommend you never air it up while on a dirt road or while driving in the rain. Just to be safe. Also I think a replacement is about 60 bucks, big deal! I also located the spare Schrader valve easily accessible at the rear bumper hitch area with a wire tie to hold it in place and did not drill a hole. Worse case have to stop at a filling station to add air. Without a compressor it would self regulate to the preset air level anyway

Thanks Bass. I plan to let the shop put these in that is doing my lift (I'll probably get it all done at the same time so I'll just let them put in the bags. No sense in me doing it since they'll be working in the same area anyway) and I'll give them all this info and tell them it's how I want it done [emoji106]

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
