Just got my ready lift 2” sst lift kit installed today. Had it done at the dealer. Took a few hours. Also got the alignment done as well. Drove it home and it feels good. Can definitely feel a bit bigger ride height and angle. Truck is very dirty so I’ll wash it tomorrow and get some proper photos

So that lift kit was just to raise the front? I thought it already came with a factory 2” lift. I hadn’t really paid much attention.

Not really sure yet. Still learning a lot about Chevy and the truck world... I plan on keeping this truck for a while.   That being said, I had to get the front windows tinted. Got them to m

Got the new wheels on and I'm really happy with what I went with. These are Fuel Block D751, 18X9 -12 offset. Wrapped in the same Toyo Open Country R/T

The easiest one out of the three. Just open the hood and find the right spot. Twist and pull it out. Hope these picture help. Just remember that if you put the new bulb in and it doesn’t work, take ou

Technically the kit raises the Front 2' and the Rear 1' (got blocks for the rears). The truck does come with a factory 2" lift but its in all four which still has the rack effect. Which I really don't like (my euro car side coming out). With this kit installed, I am now at exactly at 41.25 inches from the ground to the fender on all four tires.

Cool picture, where have you been going for the snow? Snoqualmie? 

 

I need to head to the Crystal Mountain area soon, while the snow is still here.

Thanks, I went up to Snoqualmie pass for some snow photos. Crystal should still have some snow on it.

Yea, few miles outside of Enumclaw you start seeing it, by the time you hit Greenwater it is plied up pretty good, just gets deeper as you go up 410.

How much did the dealer charge for the level and alignment ?

I bought the kit for $550 and the dealer charged me like $500'ish for the install/alignment.

I tried taking the chrome z71 badge off last week to dip it black but I ended up breaking it so I got the replacement in today

You should tint the fog lights. That would look good since they're the last chrome thing on the front end.

Finally completed the Version 1 look that I wanted since I've got the truck. Added the 2" spacers and Toyo Open County R/T in 35x12.5R18

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Z45 · Posted

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
