Upgraded to 2500HD

ShotgunZ71 · August 23, 2015

Hello, all! Been on these forums for a couple years now. I had a 2014 Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 since July 2013. I recently traded it for a 2015 Silverado 2500HD LTZ Z71 with the Duramax Plus package. Pretty much the same as the 2014 I had, except the engine and transmission.

Beautiful truck!

You have any issues with vibrations like most of us do with our k2 1500's?

Looks great, hope your enoying yours as much as I am enjoying mine.

Hot dog! Another great White pickup! White rules! Real nice looking ride. Congrats on the buy!

Thanks, guys! So far, I'm loving it. No vibration issues on this one or the 2014 1500. Only notice a shake on bad roads! Lol! These are the same roads that ride like crap in anything! Ha ha!

Now lower your tire pressures to about 50 psi unloaded, and get a better ride ... and a dash icon lite up ... & up the pressures when needed

Great White trucks !

Nice upgrade.

Got all the tires at 60 and softened the rear a touch. No lights so far

I may do this also, I know when you PMd you were concerned. The ride especial over a pothole filled road can be ugly and I'm thinking it's the 75+ PSI in the rear tires.

I basically lowered the rears to the front pressures and haven't had an issue to date. When I tow or haul something substantial, I'll bump them back up to the factory 75psi.

Another 2500HD without the tow mirrors.

Good to know, thanks.

I'm also thinking of doing a 2" drop shackle in the rear. I would rather drop the rear then raise the front. I'll have to see what others have done and gain their experience.

Yeah, if I find that I need them, I'll likely get some in the future. I think I'm going to try the CIPA mirrors first and see how they are a few times.
