I have a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 6.2L crew cab short bed 4x4 with Max Trailer package. 
 

I originally ordered the Zone add a leaf from American trucks. Their website showed compatible. Tear the rear end apart only to find out the add a leafs don’t have the alignment pins. They only have a single hole for the center bolt. 
 

American trucks exchanged them and I ordered the ReadyLift add a leaf springs that showed 2 holes in the center of the leaf. 
 

They arrived today and they too only have 1 center hole. The sticker on them said Deaver.  Not sure if that’s who readylift uses or what?

 

Either way; I need to figure out what add a leaf will fit my truck. It doesn’t seem like the max trailer package has a different option than regular, but I need one that has the alignment pin that’ll fit between my existing leafs. 
 

I will use it for heavy hauling and towing so please do not respond with “just go with a block.”

 

Also the ads on this website have gotten insanely obnoxious. This is my third attempt typing this post. Ads have completely interrupted me trying to type this post out every time.

Sorry, I can't help with question on springs but...

I use Brave as my main browser and it blocks pretty much all the ads not only on this site but pretty much all the sites I use. You might give it a try.

I found a video online and that alignment pin is simply a rolled piece of steel. And it says to simply pound it out and discard it. So the provided clips take care of the alignment on their own then?

 

I see tons of posts on these forums of people loving their Zone add a leafs and zero posts about this issue. So I’m not understanding if this is a Max Trailer spring pack issue only, or if others just discarded the alignment pin altogether

I had the Zone add-a-leaf installed by an aftermarket installer.
No issues and added a 1.5" lift, as well.
No more squatting when towing.
I do have the tow package, not max tow package, but it installed without issue, according to the installer.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
