5k miles! Sounds like I'm lucky mine lasted this long (6 months, 14k miles). My issue is that it's my daily driver & I can't just leave it sitting on stands. So I'm thinking of having it rebuilt locally. Planning to have that conversation with ICON today to see if they'll honor it. I'm between NYC and Philly, so I figured there's got to be somebody who'd be willing to do the rebuild. Do you know anybody? 

Do you have your stock struts..?  I put a leveling kit on mine to get by till next week..  I can loan you it to help you out.

 

My icons are in perfect shape, no leaks.  I just didn't like the ride at 3 inch lift. So I called about revalving them and the tech said an upgrade also will help...i went right with his idea.

I still have my stock struts. I'm trying to minimize my down time, so I asked ICON to ship me the parts for the rebuild & found a shop in the Philly area to do the re-build. Also found a race suspension shop out on Long Island, NY & this sort of work looks like their bread and butter. 

 

Unfortunately, I don't have the tools or space (or experience) to perform this work, otherwise I would totally take the time to tackle it. 

 

I had also asked ICON if they would sell just the shock (without the spring) & they weren't up for it. I was thinking of keeping a spare shock & swap out the spring for these sort of situations. They double checked and with a modification the passenger side can be used on the driver side. However, they will only sell the complete coilover for $800. 

 

Thank you for the offer!

Make sure that shop you pick icon is ok with it so you don't void their so called warranty.   Driver n passenger should be the same shock. To sell it without the spring is prob not worth it anyway,  it's a regular eibach and probably an 80.00 spring.

Coilovers came back, the added cdcv reservoir is really nice. The control arms with delta joint are way nicer than the rc arms. I adjusted it to 3 inch and put a 2 inch rear block.  I ordered rear 2.5 reservoir with cdcv.  It will now be a stage 4 complete kit. Removed the license plate and added the trail boss gloss black grill.

Black exhaust tips installed today, pretty easy to do. Remove the plastic steps in the corners of the bumper and you can get in with a ratchet.  Smoked license plate cover, color matched tailgate handle cover( hard to tell in the pic).

Rear icon dynamics 2.5 cdcv reservoir shocks. These on #3 seem to soak up anything u can hit..lol.  After they are too stiff. I run the fronts on #2 seem to work perfect, firmer than stock but not too stiff.

The interior needed a few upgrades, I added a high country cluster from wams and a ltz steering wheel. Added a wire from the cluster connector to the clock spring ( harness dr) and now the stereo/phone wheel buttons work. Also changed the stereo bezel to match the steering wheel. 

 

I did the clazzio leather heated seat kit, they fit super nice and as you sit in em more they fit better as you can tighten them. This is when I 1st installed them.

With the high country headlights and the factory fog lights they are too much in the dense fog. So I changed the fogs to diode dynamics yellow cube lights, perfect fit..! These are the sport series, they work awesome....well worth the change.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
