I installed an icon stage 1 kit earlier this year, seemed a little firm but felt more planted on the road. I called and they revalve them free within the 1st year. They suggested the cdcv reservoir with adjuster upgrade.   A month ago I sent my coilovers back to get the reservoir with the compression adjuster.  They arrived Monday at icon and were shipped back Thursday, not too bad.. Also picked up the tubular control arms with delta joint. The last piece to arrive was the rear 2.5 reservoir shocks with compression adjuster. So finally makes the complete stage 4.

 

The front is set at 3-3.25 i think, just going off of measurements from the 2 inch i had. I put nut certs in the frame for the reservoir mounts. The control arms have caps on them to cover up the joint for the weather. The rear is a 2 inch block with the icon 2.5s. Only other piece i added is a set of different bump stops. Called sumosprings, helps with hauling upto 1500lbs in the bed so it doesn't sag plus for me I'd rather not have an airbag kit.

I drove it around for 2 weeks before aligning it, adjusted the coilovers a few times for it to sit where I want it. Here's the final outcome.

 

This is with 35 12.50 20 bfg km3s on 20x9 trailboss replicas. They rub the larger gm mud flaps at full lock in reverse.

 

A little about it....ts a 2019 custom, high country headlights swap, black gm grill, ami tow hook clevis mounts, westin hdx steps,, tinted corner lights, tinted mirror lights, ceramic tint, egr vent shades, gm larger mud flaps, gm rear wheel well liners, black exhaust tips and tailgate lettering. Coated in a few coats of adams graphene ceramic coating.

It drives really well, i have the front shocks set at 4 and the rears at 3. Seems to drive on the pa roads pretty well.. The angles are ok and it seems to be good, im not sure of the long term effects tho.  Its probably going to stay that way till early next year, im going to buy a zone 4 inch kit. Still going to use my icon parts with it. That will clean up the angles back to stock.

 

Plus the westin hdx steps are coming off for a set of amps , they look alot cleaner.

Sick! Just found my next mod with those shackles. Install pretty easy? Looks like RC makes a set too but lots of issues with welds and holes not lining up.

These are from ami and they suck..!  Were a pain in the ass, lots of trimming. Had to drill a hole to put a bolt thru both holes. The rough country are probably better..!

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
