Kinda makes me wonder why they'd go to all that trouble to design that then not have a one-piece subframe :cheers:

 

I've never been a fan of bolt-together-subframe kits ...

 

Plus, that's an awfully expensive "torsion bar bracket delete" option if you ask me...

 

I don't see where there would be another real advantage to doing a coilover convesion than that, and that's really not worth the price IMO.

That kits looks like it has its advantages, and the $$ is obviously not one of them. But almost for that same amount of $$, you could pull of a SFA conversion. It will be interesting over time to see if the price comes down as more companies begin to design there own "knock-offs".

i've seen that kit before, the problem is that you could bend the frame, cause the whole truck wasnt designed to hold it's weight on the front frame rails, in fact on the superlift site there's an article talking about that lift, they bent the whole truck after a day of wheeling. If you get that kit you'll hafta build a roll cage and/or box the frame. Basically that kit is designed to run the Baja 1000. The 2500 and 3500 equivalent trucks can handle that kit though. GM really messed up on designing this generation (99-06) truck, basically designing them for women, so they were low to the ground and if you dont believe me check who the lead manager designers were at GM during the design years. I'm a fan of GM, just not their new trucks, especially the NBS, you have about 5 inches of space between the ground and your front plastic bumper. I'm sorry but a truck is meant to leave an accident with dents not a torn plastic valence like a civic or a foreign POS.

yeah they did bend the front right of the frame, but that was cause thay launched the truck about 15 feet high out in the dunes, these truck frames were not designed for that kinda launch.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
