Well my local chevy dealer is the one who is installing the lift and they said if they do the warranty work it will not void my warranty and they have taken a few on trade with lifts. Idk but I have a 33 inch tire on now and they said you can run a 275/65/20 which is a 34 so I would like to see some pictures with a 4 inch ready left that's not on their website to see if it's worth it

I run that tire size on a 2" level without rubbing

No doubt they do and you probably didn't run into any problems, but if you move and have to go to a new dealer not all look so keen on lifted trucks that is now having differential issues.

I would just cover all your bases or wait for your warranty to be up and then lift that thing 9 inches and replace all your worn out parts.

 

This is my lawyer mother talking, but don't put trust into people that don't need to trust you.

you definitely have a point. Every dealer acts as their own entity, it just so happens I have one of the better dealers when it comes to Modifications. They also sell a shit ton of new and used lifted trucks as well as modified vettes and camaros

but they said they would only do the ready lift and the 4 inch sst lift if the only one they would do they do the readylift leveling kits and keep your warranty. I asked them about the 6 inch they said they would install it but then I am on my own for the warranty so now that I look at it it's not a true suspension lift so that's why I'm guessing they are covering it on warranty

im surprised they cover the 4"sst with how shitty of a design it is

It may not void your warranty but might prematurely wear out suspension components. I keep my trucks well past warranty and I am glad you are doing some research!

yea I was wondering about that to how much extra wear and tear there is. but I only put 3-5k miles on a year so I think I should ne fine there

I just did a 2.5" front level and a 3" rear block...and added a zone 1.5" body lift to achieve my 4" lift. im picking up my 35x12.5's today on fuel maverick 20x10 -12 wheels and seeing if they rub bad

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
