Installed some new coilovers... set up is basically a 3" level Icon stage 4. Has 2.5" icon coilovers up front with remote resivoirs, 2.5" piggy backs in rear, and Camburg UCA's. I must say if u want a level with the best possible ride this is it. I am surprised how much better the ride is compared to stock and Bilstien 5100's. I will get some better picks but for know here she is leveled at 40 1/2 up front and 41 1/2 in the rear.

I like the look but need a decoder ring to understand it. Yea, I'm sort of new.

Basically, take a handful of money and throw it. New suspension parts show up magically at your house. :rollin:

 

Setup looks awesome on your truck. Perfect leveled stance IMO and I bet it rides even better.

I really like the look of your truck - btw, it looks so much better than the silverado next to it, even if it does have that weird hole below the hood and above the grille, it still looks kick a$$

Nixon why does the gmc look so much bigger than the Chevy?? I understand the lift and wheels but the front end even the windshield looks smaller. Is it just the angle of the pics? Beautiful truck.

Are the Yukon Denali door handles the ones that allow you to unlock the doors just by touching the handle?  If so, is it working, how did all that wiring go?  Obviously need different key fob, is it push button start as well?

THanks

Yeah the buttons don’t work...I wish they did but it’s just a cosmetic look now.

Ah thanks.  Other than they color match the truck, is there any difference to them over the stock Sierra handles?

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      There are no stickers in your glovebox?

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
