The noises my truck makes only happens when I turn sharp 

I have installed a few sets of front struts on these models now and I feel as stated above that checking ALL of the suspension components are torqued to the proper spec would be an easy and inexpensive place to start. Please keep us updated on what you find.

With those 5100s, did it have you reinstall the bottom bolts going upward towards the CV axle?

 

My 6112s did and I found it quite odd & pretty close to the CV axle.

 

But then again that's the OEM position and the bolts didn't magically get longer. Just thinking aloud.

I took it to a local shop yesterday that is known for hood work and they thought it was my lift arms binding when I turned. They said everything was tight and that is the only thing it could be. They recommended that I take it to a shop that specializes in lift kits to get a second opinion.

So I initially had noise coming from the strut top nut; replaced that with the correct nut and that issue went away. 

I still also had a popping noise similar to what OP states; tightening the endlinks seemed to resolve it temporarily. At least in my case since I raised it 2", I opted for the longer AT4/TB endlinks. This rid of all popping noises entirely since the links now had clearance from the CV shafts when the steering wheel is at full lock. Hope this helps someone.

I wonder if it went away because of the return to factory height or by inadvertently fixing something from the original installation (sticking, bound up, improperly torqued, mis aligned, etc.).

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
