Has anyone used the Camburg upper control arms for their truck? They look pretty stout and I was thinking about ordering some to put on my AT4 when I do the leveling kit. You can see the arms in the link below. Thanks!

really solid and well built,  but not maintenance free (require more than some others).....good price too considering, they are right down the street from me

 

think any aftermrket will surely be better than stock and if you arent slamming it into whoops.....they are more than enough.......camburgs are racing UCAs

The camburgs are nice but a uniball joint is over kill for daily driving and servicing (albeit not frequently) still sucks compared to a regular greased ball joint. I went with a set of cognito UCAs

Am I missing something with the servicing issue? I will mostly be daily driving but I am on construction sites at times as well. Do the uniballs have some issue I am not aware of? Thanks

The uniballs are a superior joint in my mind but the joint needs to be lubricated while slacked off and moved. I believe also you need to slack the uca bushings off to grease them every so often. Lots of YouTube videos on how to service your uniball UCAs

Looks like these will increase caster more than factory ones... that will reduce tire rub with bigger tires.

I just got a nice Christmas delivery! I know what I am doing over the break! These will go on in combination with the Zone offroad 1.75" AT4 leveling kit. I will take before and after photos as well.

How it's going after Zone Offroad 1.75" AT4 leveling kit, Camburg upper control arms, and new Ridge Grapplers

Camburgs are great....the uniball is just not preferred for daily drivers due to having to replace it every 4 or 5 oil changes.  There is no boot to protect it from dirt and water and the cap they sell only covers the top while leaving the bottom wide open.  I think Icon's delta joint is best of both worlds.

      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 ?.
