I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 Z71 double cab. The other day I installed Bilstien 5100's at the top settings and put on 20x9 fuel Mavericks +01 with 305/55R20 Nitto g2,s and the truck drives great except when I'm at full lock I'm getting a pop/ clunking sound. I happens every time it's in full lock and it's the same in reverse as well. I know the tires aren't rubbing on the fenders or anything like that. I took it to the dealer and they claim that it's the spindle hitting the bump stop and that its "normal". My question is if it was hitting the bump stop like he claims the sound would be constant and not just an occasional pop? If anyone has had this problem please let me know how to fix it.566a3130dc5fb2f266faf5184ee6f696.jpg

I have had the same issue for over a year now. Installed RC 2.5 level and noticed a small pop every now and then. took it to dealer for warranty and they wouldnt touch it because of the leveling kit. So ive been putting it off and living with the noise because ive heard that its something internal to the steering rack and will be a very expensive fix.

 

hopefully its not the case but more and more people are complaining about it. Did you get an aligntment right after you put the kit in?

I really hope it's not the rack… I mean the dealer didn't really say anything bad about the level so I'm not really sure what to do next. I did torque the crossmember and it is still doing the same thing. I think it might be a bad CV shaft.

You know I think it does have to do with the cv shaft more than the rack. The steering is tight and I jacked it up and checked it all out and it seems like something is up with the passenger side wheel

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
