:rollin: Ok... Do you not read? He stated he doesn't have them in the first post, or do you just come in to threads to boast how "bad" Rancho's are with out any basis other than what some people on the internet that have no technical knowledge say because of what they read?

 

As stated before, they aren't great shocks but they are in no way bad, especially worst ever. Will I upgrade when mine give out or are too tired, of course, but in the mean time unless you are blasting away off road regularly which is what those 5100's are designed for the rancho's will suit most everyone on this board for what they do/need. Then people go off and claim they want a much better ride (hence the shock purchase) yet they max out the pre-load on the adjustable shock and make it stiffer in many cases which nulls the original thought of getting an off road shock because it rides softer.

 

Question, do you work for Bilstein? You are in a lot of threads saying the same thing (crappy Rancho's, worst ever, Bilstein FTW).

 

OP tires won't make much of a difference. Your choices are a softer shock or smaller wheel to add more tire. Make sure the tires aren't aired up too much. It is a truck btw, don't expect a soft cushy ride...

    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
    • I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
