06 Leans to left

Steve-Maine · June 18, 2006

My 06 GMC 2500HD with Duramax leans to left about 3/4" front and rear. Is this normal??

That's because you are sittin' in it silly.....

Just kidding. I have no idea. Congrats on the new truck though.

Normal is that both sides are the same height. There's a limit after which the dealer will attempt to rectify the problem. Not sure, but it might be 3/4".

They all seem to lean to the left a little because the fuel tank/driver etc... are all on that side. I put a couple of turns on the driver side torsion bar to even everything out...

Definitely adjust the torsion bars.

It is an accepted adjustment, not like you are modifying anything.

Figure out what the normal load is and simulate it by placing sandbags in the cab (on the seats) and then adjust the bars. After making the adjustment you will want to bounce the suspension, or better yet drive it around the block/down the street and back to settle the suspension. Then recheck it and readjust if needed.
