Curious what year your Silverado was, in as far as I’m curious about which Bose system you are benchmarking? Modern Bose runs the gamut and I recall they made some changes for the 2019+ MY GM trucks which to my ear made a very big difference.

Both terrific options. Can’t go wrong. I’ve had both the 5100s and the Eibachs on the same truck. Both are better than stock. Note: I have the coilover version of the Eibachs, not the one that re-uses the stock spring. So I can’t say for certain about those. But assuming both Eibachs have a...

I’ve had an issue with an F150 which was cable actuated, where snow and ice got onto the linkage and prevented the lever from physically shifting into the Park slot. But the ZF 8 speed has no physical linkage… so I’d think an electronic issue? Water/ice in a harness? Whatever it was… no bueno.

Don’t understand the obsession with the 35x12.5 tire size, personally. It’s the 12.5” width that is the problem - not so much the 35” height - which necessitates either a wheel spacer with stock wheels, or aftermarket wheels with more negative offset, in order to clear the upper control arms...

Such a fantastic and underrated tire. I’ve had all the usual suspects and that is my favorite.

Wow, they messed up. Not only didn’t use the 1” lift/ ORG springs, but they may have even used 2wd V6 quad cab springs from the look of it. Hard to imagine they’d double down on it being the right part. Just look at it.

Really turbos just need good lubrication and they’ll live forever. So keeping OCIs short and using quality oil prevents any issues well into triple digit mileage. In fact there really isn’t any servicing - it works or it doesn’t, in which case it needs replaced. The biggest issue I see...

The Eibach coilover kits for these trucks allow you to adjust on the truck, for not too too much more money than the 5100s.

…. Sorry for the derail. Though “V8’s are central to the CDJR brand…” angle here then I suppose this would come up. I’m simply recommending a 2 State (engine) solution. Let people choose what is important to them.

Exactly… it never ends. I’ve seen that option from Burger and have to admit it’s tempting. But then I remind myself to not to go back down that rabbit hole… But as piggybacks go they have a good reputation, at least in the EcoBoost and VW/Audi worlds. I wouldn’t hesitate to try it if I owned...

And I’d happily drop any SO with my ethanol’d and turbo-swapped ecoboost. Should just edge out an HO as well. … And any Rivian truck will happily drop me. As will most high performance German barges that turn 11.x & 12.low second quarters like nothing. … Point is, there’s always a bigger...

Gents, clearly we’re well on the way to saving CDJR with these ideas. Here’s another: Bring back a BOF Dakota option and keep the Durango untamed - Hemi option for each please, with a manual option on the ‘Kota.

Boy, 2025 is really looking up.

Yes, 275/70r18 will fit without any modifications. A 295/70r18 or 285/75/18 might fit, but it will definitely require fender well massaging, and would probably find other spots to rub if pressed off road.

It sorta seems like you came on here to help (thanks!) but then it seems like someone peed in your Cheerios (no thanks!). Forums are full of info I don’t agree with and armchair mechanics, but it’s not useful to have a p!ssing match with a senior member. Some of what you said is valid, only...

I never quite understood this myself. Either wait until the warranty is up and the warranty DEFINITELY is not going to cover problems, or do it now and MAYBE the problem will be covered. I’ll take maybe and enjoy now.

Studs maybe, since the spacer is shorter than the typical 2” spacer? If sawzall was used for anything other than that, I’d wager he’s got bigger problems today.

If you’re not actually bashing it off road and want a high quality on road ride to go with a nice stance, just grab either a Bilstien or an Eibach kit, Pair it with a ~11.5” wide or less tire (295 section width or less) and call it a day. Each has a couple options to tailor to your price &...

That’s less than a lot of sedans. She’s a big girl for sure.

Top speed governor has little to do with power as you know. More to do with tire speed ratings and driveshaft rotation limits. But yes I’ve raised mine (different truck, not a hurricane) to 120 with a driveshaft loop and confirmed tires support it. Can’t wait for actual tuning for these, but...
