i am not too sure, i havent asked them. do i get to choose from what they have? if i can, i want some bilsteins

 

 

 

I believe you can go with whatever shock you want. I hear those bilsteins are really good...are you going with Dual shocks or singles? By the way Outlaw did my lift on my truck.

i am probably gonna go with a single shock. does having duel shocks make the ride smoother? for now, i can only afford one, but maybe later when i get more money ill spend some money on that. do they have to change out some other parts to install duel shocks? or is it just an add-on

 

nice looking truck by the way.

ok, i just dont know what to say. i call outlaw this morning before i get there and ask em if i can drop off my truck. they said no because they have to order all the parts. ok, i can understand.

 

as for the price, i called them about a week ago on a monday to get a price quote on my truck. 7"cst, 35 bf at's, 16"xa's, and 4.56 gears. he gave me 2800 WITHOUT the gear, including labor and all the parts so i ask him, "how about with gears" he said another 500 dollars on top of that. so cool, 3300, ill get it done for sure. so i get off the phone with him. the reason i called was becuase i sent an e-mail to them couple of days before and i didnt get a response so i decided to call. well they give me a call back after couple of days and leaves a voice mail saying its gonna be 3600 to do everything. so im like wtf, so i called back to variefy, and asked them which price do i get, 3300 or 3600, and he said, "the lower one buddy, just bring your truck in and ill hook you up". i got his name down and the price and decided to go on a monday, which is today. i called and asked them if they can do it for that price and they said that it was way too low and asked me who i spoke with. it ended up that i spoke with the owner. i spoke with him TWICE AND he gave me the exact quote TWICE. wtf. what am i supposed to do? i am thinking of calling and talking to the owner once again to see whats up. im pretty pissed... are there any other shops around so. california? :banghead:

Hey min, I feel your pain. I had something similir happen to me with them except for the fact I had already given Outlaw a $1000 deposit. They gave me a quote on paper...when I took my truck in, they 4got to add tax so it was like alil bit more but I was still pissed cuz when I got the quote the guy goes oh thats everything out the door...the day I take it in for the lift I asked to see what the balance was and come up with another price..I was mad but I was SOL because I had already given them a deposit which was no refundable. Other than that...they did do a good job on the lift and what not.

 

I know of other shops. Try:

 

X-Industry (714) 635-2370 ask for Ruben or Rudy located in Fullerton off the 91E and Raymond

 

Extreme Trucks in Aliso Viejo (949) 215-9757

 

Custom Motorsports http://www.custommotorsports.com/

12150 Severn Way, Riverside CA 92503 [951] 549-1740

 

Action Auto Sports In Mission Viejo only have the number to the Corona store but if you call them they can give you the Mission Viejo Tel # (951) 738-0577

 

Hope this helps you out a bit...astleast you know what you can get the lift for and know to to bargin with these other shops. Good Luck

 

PS. I know Ruben from X-Industry and the only reason I did not got with them again is cuz I had already given Outlaw my deposit and could not get it back.

i finally got it done at outlaw... well on my way back home today, 3 lights came on my dashboard, abs, service break system and parking break. i call them and see whats up and they said its becuase i switched out the gears. he said it does it on some cars. is this true? i dont feel like spending 300 bucks on a programmer... i dont get it becuase i would think that they have to take care of it but telling me to buy a programmer doesnt seem right. any other ways to do it? and will the programmer make the light go away? thanks.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
