No way I'm going to hotwire a new GM. Make sure your owners manual doesn't have a "master key" # in it. For making replacement keys. The whole ECM is a kill switch on most modern vehicles, so I doubt another is needed. Google your ride to see if swapping ECM's is too easy. The boot...

I can't think of any that they aren't already tackling. Steel sleeves? Actually compression ratios are reduced on diesel engines. I've seen as low as 15.2:1. NA is often 18 and up to 22. BMEP, or pressure, is what is more, on turbo engines. A billet I6 head is $8000!

True. Coil overs are the only way I'd go, F150, Tundra, Taco etc. etc. Just pony up the $3g's.

The 2.5's for my truck are remote res, for $900ish. I might add the comp adjuster, so I can add a hair of comp for a winch later. Still $2000 for shocks, and another $1000 later for hy bumps later, is a pita. Still waiting for Stage3 to get Fox ACS steering dampers in. $450. Coil overs...

Rust, and Ford/GM is a wash. Ford has/had better rust proofing, but it rarely made a difference. Dodge is the clear loser. Especially the ones with salty spray foam inside the doors. Then there's the Toyota frames. DRW's are best with steel wheels. The new chinese aluminum DRW wheels...

-Determine what axle it has. -Swap in a 1 ton axle with a locker, if needed. (royally expensive online, reasonably cheap at any custom axle shop) -mud tires. Or wheels and mud tires. -hi lift with winch kit, a bucket of chain, and a winch rope -mud rated tire chains, and/or a tire claw set...

I believe the OEM replacement Kings for my '17 250 are $700 a pair at Filthymotorsports.com. I'll check. ETA: Darn, went up in price. $450ish a pop. http://www.filthymotorsports.com/King_OEM_Super_Duty_Shocks_p/king-25001-136.htm Standard mount smoothies are $330, if you know your valving...

They should double the prices so fans can rave that there's $42k in aftermarket parts available. Honor your warranty for defective airbags or go out of business. (again) dif cover: $100-200 3/8 & 1/4 plate steel, triple bypass king 3.0: $1000 king 2.5: $350 And the tie rod sleeves and slip...

Forget about km3's for OH, and MI. Not too good in snow. Get the STT's instead. Don't 35's fit that truck stock? 37's on 18x9 wheel ride nicer, and give an extra inch of clearance. So bumpy dirt roads, they make a difference. Otherwise, if you can fit 35's stock, stick with that since...

Nice. I saw it over on the Pirate thread. Are those the standard NV wheels or the HD's? I'm not sure if the HD wheels are worth the extra cost. 3500# vs 4500# ratings IIRC.

See, more dipshit little ego posts. Getting all pissy because there's better options out there, but you're all stuck in expensive low rider $hit boxes. This place is just entertainment. Pity the expo newb that reads this forum to learn. How many more people with valid GM issues, are you...

Preaching to the choir on that one. And they don't get pissed about us trolling on their stupid square wheelwells. They get pissed when we bring legit concerns up. Lolz. It's bizzaro land. I suspect that some of it is just trickle down from the RV world. The part that bugs me the worst...

Depends where you are going. Most of the time 2wd is all I need, any stock truck will do. But then the road washes away and I have ditches, river crossings, soft muddy flooded roads, that would make hardcore short range wheelers think twice. Or someone wrecks their bike and we have to...

To get all the GM guys riled up so quickly, you must have hit pretty close to home. Despite owning half a dozen of the damn things, you still got called a troll in just a few posts in. Lol. So there is clearly some truth in what you're saying. No one gets so butthurt over nonsense. ''GM...

Your chance of wheelspin drops to zero with that weight on the back. The tires no longer slip like a fuse. Ok, so now with that established, that the tires hook up so well, that it could be a problem, imagine this. Crossing a wet steel plate with all that weight. Tire spins, hits dry...

Heck yeah! I used to have a stock pile of visual inspection stickers for scuba tanks. Just googled the name of some shop in Etheropia without a phone, and printed them out.

"Crawler" and "Stickie" tires don't last long on gravel, and especially ice covered gravel. Where 90% of my off road time is spent. I doubt these race tires are a good choice for me. Especially on a 6900# truck with 2000# of cargo. Aren't these thousands of dollars, a piece?

The GVWR isn't always safety driven. Sometimes a certain component just doesn't have the balls to carry weight and survive. Possibly the 5.7, or something that comes with it, is just a dog. The 5.7 and, I think it was a 5.8, were real dogs in our service trucks. We only had a few...

Set ride height much lower. How much sag does the suspension have? What temp is it outside? What size wheels and tires? Might want to try a softer coil spring if that doesn't help. Big shocks can handle softer linear rate springs better. Filthy Motorsports has a good selection of...

I wiggle a DRW through tight congested areas all the time. If I fit, I fit. I only need a couple inches. The rest is driver skill. The only time I consider a midsize better, is if it's impossible to fit a midsize there. As far as actually parking, I have no interest in parkingany of...
