I emailed this to Rancho.....

 

Jason Gaertner has a vehicle with the following characteristics:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Make: Chevrolet

Model: Silverado 2500HD (9200#) 4x4

Year: 2001

-----------------------------------------------------------------

 

Jason Gaertner submitted the following questions:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Comments: I have lifted the front end of my truck by changing the torsion keys and cranking the torsion bars to raise it roughly 2". I have also added a 2" lift block to the rear.

 

When hitting large holes or bumps, I'm hearing a popping noise from the front end and I believe it is my stock shocks topping out. I am not sure about the rear but I would imagine they are topping out as well.

 

I am looking at getting the Rancho RS9000X shocks for the front for sure and maybe even the rear also. Can you give me part numbers for front and rear?

 

Also, when do you think y'all will run another Buy 3 shocks, get the 4th free deal?

 

Thanks

 

 

Here is what I got back......

 

Thank you for your interest in Rancho products. The next longer shock I have for the 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is for a 4" lift. This shock

will probably bottom out on the front. The part number is RS99289. The

rear shocks should be okay with a RS99297.

 

If you are interested in the part number for the stock length shock for the front is RS99288.

 

For pricing information, contact a distributor in your area. To locate a Rancho distributor visit our website at: www.gorancho.com. For further questions, feel free to contact Rancho technical assistance line at 734-384-7804.

Don't know the PN off hand but the 9000x's I got for my 02 2500HD are for 0"-2" lifts, and that's according to Rancho themselves. AAMOF, I have an email from them that says they work just fine with the new tbar keys that give 2" of lift.

 

Where did you get those 2 inch rear blocks from? I'm thinking about doing that myself, but was afraid of axle wrap. I also can't afford to compromise the weight handling or towing capacity/safety. Any problems with them?

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
