Thanks Grumpy. I had it done at the dealership but I think I'll take it to the tire/suspension shop in town to see what they say as I don't know enough to insist on something specific.

 

Get a before and after printout. Look at the last few post in my build thread to see what the Hunter reports looks like. Grumpy Bears 2015 Silverado 2WD Start getting a feel for what changes do what and how it feels driving. I'm very happy with mine.

This is what it looks like now and future plans after the audio system are to lower it a couple of inches more using drop spindles up front and lowering springs in the rear, upgrading shocks and strut

I added the DeeZee Tailgate assist and I'm in the process of converting the tailgate to automatically drop open remotely from the factory key fob using instructions I found on the forum here

Marv if I read right you currently have a 3.25" back half drop, right? Did we adjust the pinion angle? If not, any vibration issues? Thanks. I really love this current stance.

That is correct Grumpy and I was told I shouldn't have to adjust the pinion angle with that small amount of lowering however I did end up with a low speed vibration that was cured with 2 degree wedges. I like the amount of rake I have right now but I do want to go a bit lower.

Finally got around to installing the BedRug kit (actually its just sitting in there). Biggest benefit I have found so far is it no longer hurts my knees when I have to crawl around inside the bed however after a week the imprints from my hand truck are still clearly visible.

I wanted to get one but my problem is my cover leaks. It's a tonnopro loroll. It was cheap and the rug out of my 95 is prettymusty. Does your cover leak at all? I had good luck with the tri-roll from tonno pro but like the bed rails being visable

We had torrential rains the night I put the cover on and not a drop of water got inside the bed as I had read which is the main reason I wanted this type. Drag is there are 2 locks and you have to open the cover to open the tailgate which has quickly become tiresome so I am now considering a tri fold cover if I can find one that doesn't leak.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
