I'd kinda like to get something that has a lift on it already and wheels etc. I don't want to fuck with doing the work. And I'd rather save a few thousand and buy something with 10k miles on it over new. But I'll still call and see if he has anything in stock used. Thanks for the tip.
I will search red and see what pops up.I'd kinda like to get something that has a lift on it already and wheels etc. I don't want to fuck with doing the work.

The one I just posted has 10k miles. 76k Figure 20k for our 05 puts it at 55ish with some haggling?
Brand new LT for 66k plus fees. 9300 off msrp.
Yeah, I just talked to them and as I suspected numbers don't work when you include shipping from Texas. that's a good price even though it's cloth interior
! How much for lift and wheels you think?
Yeah. Leather from Katskin is $2200 installed. I found a few other red ones but not on sale that have leather.Yeah, I just talked to them and as I suspected numbers don't work when you include shipping from Texas. that's a good price even though it's cloth interior
Yup, they can be reliable, but they won't pass smog in Cali.
Those 6.2 Ford's seem to be bulletproof, they should have kept those around!Engine wise it is, at least so far
There's nothing black magic about the 2014-2025 Gen V motors. They're all rebuildable (assuming it didn't destroy the block when it let go, some of these 6.2 failures are gnarly!). Rebuilding is smog legal, and whipple should have a CARB EO legal kit for them on the market as well I believe.
Nothing has described how GM will inspect the recalled vehicles.. just that they "will be inspected for manufacturing defects"
My plumbing van has that engine. Only Ford I own. But runs great with plenty of power for being loaded down. E350 I got from Chanel.
Always makes me happy to hear that’s it’s still running great.
The wife and I have been thinking about getting rid of her Tahoe and getting a truck since we have the Escalade. I kinda doubt it will be in the cards though. The '03 to '07 Classic's have always been my favorite body Chevy. The next would be the '14 to '18 trucks.
Yeah, I like our truck a lot. And actually my wife drives it as a daily driver and loves it. But it's 20 years old now. May be time for a new ride. The place I was talking to in Texas about that 2024 I posted offered to give me 20k on trade in for it.
182 on 2012 lml. I love my truck.
Cp3 conversion says I'm good. My cp4 held, I did the swap because I had a head gasket starting to go. Did a turbo while in there and a water pump.Yore CP4 says otherwise
I drove one last night. I'm in love.
By 2018 l5p was out and the cp4 gone. But I would not be shy of an lml with a cp3 swap.
Tank the type of lift matters on these newer trucks. I'm fairly familiar with the duramax. If you have questions feel free to reach out. I was looking at brand new one last night. Dealer lift. Ready kit. I looked at tie rod and cv angles. My dear lord. That front end is never going to last.I'd kinda like to get something that has a lift on it already and wheels etc. I don't want to fuck with doing the work.

That's my kit I run. Again if you guys have any questions. I've rebuilt my truck myself. I've done some extensive research and I also frequent the duramax forum for years now. I personally wouldn't run cognito now. It's the best if keeping close to stock is what you want. If it were me, I would run a bds coil conversion kit. It didn't exist when I did mine. But I have 0 negative things to say about my lift. I've beat the living crap out of it for 10 years now. I do maintain it.
They make a standard and a coil conversion. For bars I like my cognito. It's done things no 3/4 ton diesel has any business doing. But coilovers excite me cause I'm crazy.The red one I posted was a BDS lift.
YOLO! Do it!
I’m a big fan of cognito. The 05 I have has the front end redone by Cognito and it rides like a Cadillac.
just need it to be reliable to roll down the highway towing the boat.
Cognito 4inch with no lift in the rear and fox all around. You will be very happy. If your really want it bullet proof kryptonite ultimate front end kit.I’m a big fan of cognito. The 05 I have has the front end redone by Cognito and it rides like a Cadillac.
But I won’t go off-roading. I don’t ever even drive on a dirt road
HA!
Inspection scope through the oil drain plug maybe?
loves driving it. It is fun to drive.
Notice the car reviewers on You Tube that soft pedal, glaze-over or omit Toyotas serious issues suddenly have a new Toyota a month later.
Is there a difference in the 4" lift kits for 2wd vs 4 wd in the Gmc/chevy trucks? I have an 08 GMC 4x4 ccsb that I want to put a 4" lift on in the next couple weeks and I'd like to have the best hwy ride possible. I'd only do light trails offroad as I'm not interested in f'g up my new body panels and paint etc. I will tow with it though. Will I need airbags?
Not sure i follow the question?
haha...I just corrected the post. I hit a button accidentally and it posted what i had typed.
It's the same on the site fior 2wd and 4wd. I have 4wd on mine. The problem with the older body style is the frame is different. You may need a slight rear lift or maybe even just an add a spring. The 11 and up had re camped frame and sit higher. They had a nasty rake from the factory. 4" is basically a really good rely expensive leveling kit.
I was on their site earlier today and it looks like their kit sku# 110-P0785 is what I need for my truck? I believe it said a 2" block comes in it for the rear lift? that sound right? will that leave the front a tad higher then rear or level it? Will I need to add anything to the kit or is it a good complete kit? Will this lift create a problem anywhere else that I will want to enhance, support, strengthen etc. to prevent any potential problems down the road? Steering box issues? transfer case and components issues? Anything at all? What about driveline angles? anything to do there? spacer blocks at the carrier bearing etc?
I have a longer front drive shaft so I can drive in 4wd at higher speeds without vibration. The front steering is your weak link, but not because of the lift. I have the cognito pisk system(pitman/idler support bracket).
Thank you for the insights.
I would never get rid of that thing. Pre def. Cp3. 6.6 is virtually the same since it's inception. So many instructional videos and endless part supply. Send the trans to Inglewood transmission when the time comes.
