Correct. Say High Country. GM's approved 2 inch lift comes with the recalibration and camera re position but if I decided to go with something a little higher than that do you think those could be changed maybe via a recalibration reset that a person/non GM shop, need to have GM do it or not really a issue to worry about.
 
Thanks 
That's a good question. I don't really have an answer as far as what GM would be willing to do, or how the factory calibration is done. I would give service a call and see if they know anything about it.

Unless you have a great dealer you’d probably have better luck asking Miss Cleo for lotto numbers lol

Aftermarket suspension manufacturers will not approve installing leveling kits on the prelifted models because of the ball joint and cv issues.  Can you install the leveling kits on the trail-boss and AT4 package trucks?  Sure.  Will you have issues in the future?  Probably.  4x4 shops are installing these leveling kits on these trucks but the manufacturers specifically state we do not approve this for we will not be held liable for any cv issues or ball joint issues.  

 

As far as the tires go, sure you can fit a 35" tire on the trail-boss and at4 trucks, but you will not clear 100% while articulation.  If you have a shop tell you that the at4 or trail-boss models can clear 35's on stock wheels with no lift, they are lying to you or they are simply not educated enough.  These trucks will absolutely rub.  They may not at ride height simply turning, but if you're driving in our out of a driveway or dip while turning you will experience tire rub.

Question guys, if I buy the RC level kit, this one right here...

Do I need a front wheel alignment following install? I believe I do, but just wanted to double check. 

I’ve put rough country front end leveling kits on three different trucks you definitely need to do a front end alignment after this kit is installed

Spoke to Soco Customs yesterday, they did this truck too

 

2" RC Leveling kit, 20x10    -20    295/60/20 nitto's, they said it barely and rarely rubs. I think this is the sweet spot setup, unless you want to go to a 6" lift with 35's

Have you tried 35s and now for sure they rub?  There is a guy in my area I have talked to with a 19 denali leveled running 35x12.5 on factory 22s and has no rub or any issues.

Well it depends on offset. If they're on stock wheels, that's a higher offset than aftermarket wheels so then he may be able to fit them.

Anyone find a leveling kit for the Trail Boss or know if any one might make one yet?

The only things out for the Trail Boss/AT4 right now are 4 inch lift kits that convert the Trail Boss lift to a 6 inch lift.

Nothing on level kit yet but I talked to Rough Country today and they are working on getting something released later this year.

Question. With the factory lift GM says that they will reconfigure the front camera and electronic power steering calibration so that all driver assist programs operate seamlessly. Can anyone chime in if this is just a software update,basically a recalibration process, or if they have to go in and manually tweek sensors and camera? I am thinking about putting on a small lift when I get the truck/when the lifts are available and was wondering if these could be done by the shop when completed or if I would need Chevy to do it or do you think it will be even necessary.

It's a calibration update in the body control module, done through GM software by a dealer or shop with a subscription.  You will get a code with the kit and there is no other way to get those calibrations.  Also if you bought the GM kit and install it yourself, you could take it to a dealer for the update, they'll charge you most likely.   So aftermarket lift parts equals no calibration update.  It works this way with a lot of GM aftermarket stuff, your calibration is part of the product.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
