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.

typical sheep type statement   Better not put mudflaps, steps, vent shades, or tonneaus on. Might cause issues with your flux capacitor and void your warranty. SMH   Sent from my iPhone using Tapat

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.

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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.

      Disable DRL's

      By fondupot · Posted

      I had a Gen5DIY DRL relocate harness from a 2022 1500 that I saved. I had Gen5DIY modify the harness for my 2024 Silverado 2500. Plug n Play, worked perfectly.    Here's a video I made for the 2022 1500 truck. The install is more or less the same on a 2500.    The harness relocates the DRL tot he top amber turn signal on my 2500.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.
