I have 0 axle wrap and my springs have gotten better. Slightly bouncy on rough roads at higher speed with nothing in bed. If there is 100lbs or more in the bed it is perfectly nice ride. I had a Rancho lift in the past with block and add a leaf and I would never do a block again.

The tires are part of it but the springs are stiff I can barely press the rear down if I push down on the bumper there is no bounce at all compared to the stock springs

What pressures are you running the tires at? Maybe it's too high?

what makes you say you would never go with the blocks? I've never had one issue with lift blocks and I've had lots of lifted trucks.

I had a lot of axle wrap and drove me nuts.

did you re torque your spring clamps after 500 or so miles? Lots of people don't do that and it can magnify axle wrap, but most people hear about axle wrap and then it gets in there head. Axle wrap is hard to get in a 1/2 ton if everything is installed and torqued correctly.

Yes it was all re-torqued but I know I had axle wrap it may have been from the add a leaf more than the block but that truck is long gone. I went with replacement leaf springs this time and I am very happy with them.

ever get your stabila Trax issue straightened out? I have zero issues with mine even on fast sharp turns.

No stabilitrack still comes on on all 90degree turns and some wide lefts. BDS says they have had other with same issue latley and they think the gm programing was changed to be more sensative. I am getting sick of the stabilitrack and almost want to trade it in but I have too much into the truck now. I hope Bds figures it out

Have you given any thought to disabling the Stabilitrac system somehow? I know you can turn it off with the button but it always comes back on so that would be monotonous.

Only way I read to disable for good is pull the fuse but then ABS is also disabled and servise ABS and service stabilitrack messages will come on

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
