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.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.
