    What needs to be done to put aftermarket exhaust on

    This is what I have. It's for aesthetics only really but it looks 10X better with a nice stainless tip tucked under there. A full exhaust is a whole different ball of wax.

    LML Steering play 11-1 Gearbox wore out?

    I found this TSB. Sounds similar to what Dave was talking about. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/SB-10083856-5448.pdf

    LML Steering play 11-1 Gearbox wore out?

    I'm going to do what Dave suggested and go from there. My LMM had 130k on it if I recall and that truck seen track time, dirt and pavement but i recall it handled the road just fine even with 20x10s.

    LML Steering play 11-1 Gearbox wore out?

    Main question: Anyone ever heard of needing to replace steering box on LML/L5P trucks with a little miles on them? My truck: 94k miles (easy miles mind you) Cognito Pisk Fresh alignment and new 325/60/20 tires on stock wheels Alignment specs: .9 Positive Camber both sides (I think this is...

    Lower Spring Rate Torsion Bar options - LML

    Want to give you all an update who may be waiting to hear. I received both sets of T-Bars pretty quickly, I did the ReadyLift control arm install myself and marked the cam bolts before removal. After I got those on and new keys i've got it just shy of level. Here's the kicker... I decided to...

    Lower Spring Rate Torsion Bar options - LML

    Just secured a set of 4800 and 4400lb bars off 0 mile trucks. It may take me a few weeks but I will update once I try them all out.

    Lower Spring Rate Torsion Bar options - LML

    I just found some off a 16 High country ccsb Gasser (4800lbs) truck still has window sticker so i think it may have fallen off the transport truck (0 miles) and they also have an ecsb that looks very clean with the 4400lb springs. I have inquired about all 4 for a deal. We shall see.

    Lower Spring Rate Torsion Bar options - LML

    Hey Chevy1925, I agree and I am terrible at splitting hairs. I will obsess over an exhaust tip angle for days until its "just right". I'm willing to give it a try if I can find some bars used out of a part-out truck. If anything, for others down the line thinking of an alternative. It may take...

    Lower Spring Rate Torsion Bar options - LML

    Correct, however I am running stock keys currently. By taking an aftermarket key which is indexed differently and using a lower spring rate torsion bar it would appear to me you can get some lift by using the aftermarket key and the spring rate will still be a tad less than what it was prior...

    Lower Spring Rate Torsion Bar options - LML

    Thanks Bdsankey, My goal would be to use aftermarket keys to go up but a lower spring rate essentially canceling out the change in geometry. My previous truck had a Cognito 4in kit on it turned down with no blocks in the rear for race purposes.. It did not ride well after all said and done...

    325/60/20 Toyo AT3 Fit Stock LML Duramax

    I made the title simple so people searching in the future can find the photos to get an idea what this tire and size look like on the 2015-2019 trucks. 325/60/20 Toyo AT3s on stock 20X8.5 wheels. How I made them fit: Turned stock keys up (been that way since day 1) Trimmed front valance...

    Lower Spring Rate Torsion Bar options - LML

    As the title states I am rolling around the idea of a lower spring rate in my truck. The BDS Coilover kit is what got me started down this rabbit hole and it appears 2011-2014 trucks came with 5 different options (See attached photo). My CCSB 4x4 has the 5200lb gross weight AAF & AAG springs...

    Charging Tilt trailer battery while driving (Parallel quick connect?)

    Hey guys, I missed these my apologies. I actually drained the battery on the trailer after 3 tilts while fastening winch etc. Crap Deka battery with 550CCA(Brand new). I replaced it with a 880CCA Diehard i had laying around but my concern yes is that running tilt/jack/lights and winch i'd like...

    Charging Tilt trailer battery while driving (Parallel quick connect?)

    Funny you mention that. I have an old yellow top optima I picked up at Advance about 15yrs ago when I worked there and it lasted FOREVER. I think my dad still has it around somewhere. When you get a good one its good.. I've been through two Autocrap batteries on my Trans Am since just sitting in...

    Charging Tilt trailer battery while driving (Parallel quick connect?)

    Chevy1925 you are correct, the winch cables are directly to +/- on the battery. Cables would essentially go from quick connect at bumper to the trailer battery- battery grounded to trailer. I was thinking about a solar panel. How do you like it GMDURAMAX? Wonder what fuse would possibly...

    Charging Tilt trailer battery while driving (Parallel quick connect?)

    Hey Fella's its been awhile since since i've lurked around here and i've done my reading but figured it doesnt hurt to confirm with some of you who may have a little more knowledge in this section that myself. I'm wanting to wire my trailers battery in so that it charges and can pull from the...

    LMM: Custom Trans Am shaker hood!!

    I mounted aluminum stock (about 2in wide 1/8th thick- see photos on pg1) on the shaker itself then used threaded rod on each side and one on the front mounted on locations already on the engine. Passenger side i mounted it near the fuel service/test port. Driver side i cannot recall for sure but...

    2015 warranty

    My truck has 72k on it. Bone stock other than a Fass 150 Cp4 is doing fine so far. I wont be going with a CP3 though once warranty is up due to hearing about surging issues. Exergy makes a screen that i will probably use. Hoping to hear some more real world trials with it though.
