So I had the 2” gm lift kit installed a little while back.  I’m now noticing a weird shutter when decelerating past the 23 mph mark.  I’m pretty sure this was not happening before the lift was installed.  It doesn’t happen when accelerating just braking/decelerating.  I have a 2020 GMC Sierra 5.3 10 speed crew cab elevation.  Any ideas?

Did the dealer install your lift?

Can't help you with the lift but ask them to do the latest program update that fixes the shudder around 13mph. It's completely fixed my shudder at low speed stopping and at low roms while cruising 45-65mph. Make sure the do the crankshaft sensor relearn.

Yeah.  The dealer that installed it was a joke and I no longer go there.  I brought it to another dealer and they were of no help either…. Might just be Illinois dealers.

 

 I’m looking at the rear blocks on this lift they installed and I notice the shim that was there before the lift was installed is no longer there.  Just a non tapered block.  Do you think that shim should be there?

Thank you.  The dealer said I’m up to date with the latest program.

I wonder if the tech who installed the lift performed the steering recalibration that's an integral part of the lift installation.  If so, I'd think it would be annotated on the service paperwork.  I don't know how not doing the steering recalibration would manifest itself, but it's something worth checking on - just a thought.

The dealer was shady.  The paper work literally only says “customer states to install lift kit PAH” “Tech Jakub Ziarnek installed 84993582 :N-modification KI (06008-84993)”. Nothing else.

It depends on driveline angles but prob not needed with the lift. My stock AT4 has no shims.

Well that’s a relief.  Thank you.  Maybe this shudder isn’t because of the lift 🤔

There was a bulletin out about the shudder.  There is a computer update to correct this.  The shudder may be releated to the software and not the lift.   If it is computer related will will happen when costing and slowing.  It will happen around 13-15pm IIRC

Oh man awesome!  Thank you very much for this info!  I have an appointment with a different dealer next week, I’m going to mention this to him after they look at it.  Thank you again!

So the dealer replaced one of my U-joints and updated the TCM with the latest calibration.  I think the shudder might be a little worse than before.  Another person in the forums said he had a vibration and fixed it by replaced the non tapered block in the rear with a tapered block.  I notice when I shift into neutral the problem isn’t there.  The dealer is blaming the cylinder deactivation and said while in neutral the cylinder deactivation isn’t active which is why it seems to be fixed in neutral.  I feel like if this was normal I would have always felt it and not just recently.  Wish it was some blatantly obvious thing that could be fixed and make it normal again.  Any ideas is appreciated.  Thanks.

Did they follow the directions to the T? Did they do the crankshaft relearn procedure? Ask them to do that one more time, I've seen where someone in here said the first time they did it it didn't fix it. 2nd time they did the relearn it fixed it

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
