So fun factor, worth it. Wallet factor, not so much. But can you put a price on fun really? And who knows, maybe since I’m having more fun with my truck, I’ll feel more peppy and motivated at work and in turn will get a raise therefore actually lowering the price I initially spent on premium...
I don’t know anything about fuel additives or octane boosters but they sound nice ?. Maybe @AzScorpion will drop some knowledge of them on me. I’ve given up on restraining myself from buying all the stuff you guys peddle on here lmao. I should drop this forum like a bad habit but then what else...
Yea I think tires may be part of the issue. When these are up I’m definitely going to go with a better set. I’m hoping to step up to whatever the stock Tremor tire size is with a decent all terrain tire.
I have no idea what “performance” means lol. Never been in a performance vehicle. Id probably shit my pants if this truck had a hot tune in it running 93 ?
Nice, years ago we built a really nice one for my dads Silverado with a custom fit frame and used pvc pipe where the handle of the rods would slide in. The frame also had a cross piece up higher so the rods would lay down in the cutouts at about their halfway point and then bungie cord a gross...
Haha well damn, now I gotta do it. Peer pressure is a bitch. I thought I outgrew that years ago. Guess not. Let me get these suspension upgrades in and then I actually may look into the Livernois tune. I even found myself looking at that tailgate damper the other day on Amazon. What am I becoming?
Hey now, let me enjoy my 3/4 tank of premium gas before you start suggesting these premium gas tunes ?. This is getting expensive rather quickly lol. You all are bad influences lol.
So let me preface this by saying I’ve never ran anything but 87 octane gas in every truck I’ve owned. Well last night we had some Kroger gas rewards and since it was just me and my son to make our own decisions and fend for ourselves out in the wild (wife was at home), I may have “accidentally”...
This is sounding more like you have the driveline shudder at takeoff. Seems to be a common issue, I have it. Right at 10 miles per hours you feel a shudder. You may think it’s the trans but if you bring up the info showing what gear you’re in (just hit the + button on the shifter) you may...
Damn, yeah I figure if it comes to it I’ll get a one piece drive shaft from Tom Woods. The startup shudder doesn’t bother me as much as the ride over less than perfect roads so I’m going to tackle the suspension first. Other than that truck has been great.
Yeah I have a small start up shudder so I figured I’d do the springs and if the driveline vibration gets worse try to adjust the pinion angle or worse case go to the one piece driveshaft. Others had said vibrations went away with springs so guess it’s 50/50 on if the new springs adjust the...
Yeah I have the raptor bumps stop already. Just waiting for the global springs to get delivered. I’ll have to take some before and after measurements. Did you go with Raptor stops on yours?
Ok, that’s good to know. Really just wanted to make sure I didn’t damage anything with over travel but if you’ve hit the stops with no issues then I imagine we’re fine. Appreciate it.
So few questions:
-Can someone who has a tremor do me a solid and measure their tremor bump stops height-wise? If possible also measure the distance from the top of there leaf springs to the bottom of the bump stops to give me another reference point? It would be greatly appreciated. I’d like...
So a good point was made concerning bump stops. I know the global leafs are very similar to the tremor leaf pack. Wondering if the raptor bump stops are the right ones to use or if we should instead use either our stock or tremor stops to prevent excessive travel. I know the global springs are...
