Sorry but did you guys remove the level kit and see if it continues to give you issues?

 

Also, trading it in after 2 months of ownership is crazy, you're going to get hit with such depreciation.

wow   Did you not read that like 99% of other trucks dont have this problem? Mine is lifted way higher and doesnt have the problem. A leveling kit and a little bigger tires shouldnt cause this prob

As far as I'm concerned they can keep stabilitrac off anything I want. Fur that matter ABS too. Nether system works well even when it's working "correctly"     Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

I tried raising tire pressure to 40 and made no difference.

 

Yea i called my salesman and the dealership offered me 40k for trade and the truck stickers for 58,555. So thats not happening.

 

No i haven't tried removing the leveling kit, mostly because wyomingcolt said he tried that and it didn't change anything, and i don't want to drop another 300+ in labor to have it removed if thats already been tried.

i would stop thinking its anything u did or modded. thousands of trucks are leveled and lifted daily....all with bigger tire set ups. Under warranty/aftermarket issues the part or mod needs to be the cause of the issue. with all the trouble shooting i dont see the level and tires being the issue. for the record i have a 2015 leveled and 33s...no issues.

 

Also to the tool that decided to troll the post and then bitch out....opinions are welcomed, assholes are not.

Ok, so what I've done so far to no avail is:

-Put stock tires back on

-Replaced left front hub

-Had machine shop machine my Diff spacers down

-Moved brake lines for more slack

-Checked and rechecked and rechecked abs wires

-Installed new bushing spacers for more Camber(this actually helped the ride and drive but not abs/stabilitrak issue) truck drives different but improved different

-Reset Ride control like 10 times

-Reset Steering angle yaw sensor like 10 times

 

None of this has fixed my ABS/Stabilitrak going off around corners. I now have one last shop in Colorado that specializes in lifting trucks as their business. All I have left to hope for is ride height sensors being my problem.

Put it back to stock, it's that simple. Why in the world people change the suspension/steering geometry and tire size and don't expect problems is mind boggling.

 

Computers do everything but steer for you, any deviation from stock and you're playing with fire.

The local shop told me that too much axle end play can cause the ABS light to pop on corners...the air gap between the sensor and tone ring opens up during a turn. Something to consider.

Isellpower;

 

I understand what u are saying but these gm trucks look like a Canyon without SOME kind of lift/leveling. Leveling a truck a couple inches should NOT cause a Stabilitrak issue.

Sdeeter19555:

 

Thank u for your post. I have never heard of that. But how do u fix that!?

I really have no idea, on a c-clip axle that would mean the clip has too much play, which usually happens with lots of miles?

 

It's been almost 20 years since I was elbow deep in a rear differential, but want to remember you can shim either under the clip or under the side gear to take up some of that play? Thinking open carrier: the cross pin limits inward movement, the clip outward movement? You would shim under the side gear/clip until you could just get the cross pin installed. This was the method to tighten up a Lock-Right locker...

My 16 with a 2.5" front level started doing this as well but only make tight right turns. Left is fine

Zcusker,

Answer to my issue was to take back to actual stock first. No more issues. Put on a suspension Maxx leveling kit tonight with a rough country rear block and rear shock extenders. All my issues were GONE at stock. Will post as I drive it tomorrow

Mine is on also. Just lifted my truck with a BDS 6" Cognito UCA's and FOX Coilovers. It hasn't been aligned yet so I am hoping that fixes it. But from what y'all is going through probably not.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
