How is the RC level on the already lifted truck? How’s the upper ball joint without the new UCA’s? Can’t decide between that or the RL with UCAs

RC level kit is great. Maintains the ride quality and the actually levels the truck. Angle on the UCA's changes minimally and the RL kit isn't worth the extra $.

 

I asked my truck shop and all their employees a million times haha! They agreed the RC kit is the way to go for leveling an AT4.

First photo (side view truck has the 2 inch Readylift) since been removed cause the boot contacted the bottom part of the strut. Added Rough country 2 inch leveling struts and the Readylift was removed. Plenty of cv axle clearance now  . 20x9.5 on 285/60/r20. It’s my vets truck. He said no rubbing and rides a lot better than factory. D2A65615-3C89-4782-86F7-4A8D688F9E79.thumb.jpeg.bd8df8bc931a278ae34cbc782ea8dd1c.jpeg

Yes as stated in the caption it is the Rough Country leveling struts they offer. 2 inch lift struts. Approximately $325 for both I believe.

Can anyone speak on leveling kits and the ability to still use the OEM wheels/tires?  This is in regards to a trail boss with the upper control arm lifts maybe. But looking at the fabtech setup it states you cannot use OEM wheels. Is this actually the case for all or is their setup different ?

I saw that. On rough country's site, they have the 3.5'' kit that comes with new coil/struts. Is that the same strut/coil as with the 3.5'' kit?

I believe so.  Model 501066. I used the  3.5" lift N3 struts with my AT4 lift to get a 1.5" level.

I have the Trail Boss but either way the same, but thanks for the insight, just wanted to get a real world opinion on it instead of dumping the crazy bucks on the RL one, cause everyone always talks about are the UCAs and the ball joint angles but I actually wanted to see if they were that bad

hmm, I guess what im trying to figure out, is if the 3.5'' RC kit is actually going to give 3.5''. This would be on a non trailboss truck as well.

Yes, the 3.5" RC kit (with the spacer or the optiinal strut) will give you approximately 3.5" over the non trailboss/AT4 trucks.

Here's mine fella's. 20' AT4 w/duramax. 

 

2 in RC level kit. Falken AT- 295/60. Fuel Rebel 20" wheel. Minor rub on the felt liner at full lock. Don't notice it enough to even think about switching!! Haha. Stance and ride is great imo. RC level kit didnt mess with factory AT4 ride either. 

20200417_163433.jpgLooks great! I did the same leveling kit and wheels but in 18. I have the stock 275/65 wrangler MT duratrac and the rough country 2in leveling kit. I have no rubbing and can’t tell a diff in the ride. When I replace the tires I am going to go up to as big as I can with minimal cutting. So far I love the set up.

Looking to level my 2020 LTZ, and trying to find the best setup for the OEM 20” wheels. From what I gathered a 2” level kit on 295x65x20 should work. Has anyone noticed any significant issues with this setup? Any rub? My truck is pictured below. As far as leveling kits go, what is the best 2” kit? I want it to sit level to remove my rake.

I’d be careful going 2” unless you plan on using a rear block. My LTZ Z71 had less than 1.5” rake. For the time being, I ended up just doing a simple 1”, then someday in the future, I’ll do a 2” front level with a 1” rear block.

That’s the perfect look! What size tires are you running? Also, I wonder if the Z71 has less rake? I have the standard LTZ 4x4.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.

      No, I did not tune out vvt. From what I read it should still be able to run without it, it'll just lose some torque/power.    I can see how that would make it not run correctly, but why would that cause the faulty MAF readings?   EDIT: I just ran a quick test and checked, and as I expected, the computer sees that the VVT cam phaser solenoid is not present, and throws a code for it, and does not try to change the cam angle at all. Commanded position just remains at zero, 100% of the time. This makes me think that the VVT is most likely not the cause of the problem though if anyone has a different/better explanation, I'm all ears.   UPDATE: I was able to find that my scan tool does indeed support reading the frequency (hz) off of the MAF (I thought it wasn't supported but turns out I just didn't know where to look for it). I noticed that regardless of engine state it always however this Is not what I observed with my multimeter. Like I said before, the MAF seems to put out a normal signal during cranking and then the signal drops to a very erratic reading once the engine is running. It seems from what my scan tool is telling me that the ECM is not recognizing this at all, and just reads 0 Hz 100% of the time. This pushes me towards the the PCM itself is faulty. I I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle, which I may try to connect and program (it's only ~50 bucks to get the software for a one-time programming)
