    Peak Level w/Billet UCA

    Well, for one, I actually really like the tire. I've driven it about 100k miles between the 7 trucks I've had that came with them (2 TRX, 4 Silv ZR2's, and 1 Colo ZR2 Bison), and they've never let me down. Just about every on-road condition, all across the country, and off-road at Hot Springs...

    Multimatic shocks / aftermarket replacements

    I think I read on one of Peak's YouTube videos that their partner for the shock is Elka, and that they are proud to work with them, but I may be confusing with Dirt King. Watched too many videos trying to figure out which route I wanted to go!

    Peak (2.25 lift height)

    Didn't realize I got replies here before creating my thread. Thanks for the info Q and am-hour. I decided to get the peak billet UCA because we do go offroad several times a year, and I thought from other comments that the billet arms would be less prone to squeaking and frequent maintenance...

    Peak Level w/Billet UCA

    Well, I pulled the trigger on the Summit Level Kit with spacer and spring seat spacer, retaining the DSSV shocks. Will post pics once received and installed. I want to keep factory black wheel and jump up to the 34.8" version of the Goodyear tire *dodges eggs* can anyone confirm how to...

    Peak (2.25 lift height)

    I'm thinking of going the same route, still deciding between retaining DSSV or switching to the summit coilover with billet UCA. Is there a reason to stay away from Peak's billet, as opposed to mix/matching with DK or Cognito? Does anyone know if the factory wheels can be used with a 35" tire...

    Question for those who tow and have a Catback.

    Acknowledging the question is directed at those who tow, and while I have with both around town, I haven't over long distances. I had the Borla S-Type on my first two ZR2s, the GM Performance Exhaust part number. It was WAYYYY better than the 0FG Split Dual that I have on my current truck. It...

    K&N Cold Air Intake (PN 63-3109)

    I added the S&B CAI kit last weekend. I don't think there's any top-end HP/TQ gains, but there might be higher peaks in lower power bands. It feels more peppy and makes a much more aggressive noise at WOT. It's an enclosed kit with a giant cone filter. Was it worth $300? Hard to say, it looks a...

    Rear Seat Rattles...Anyone?? (With Video)

    If you have underseat storage or subwoofer, they are mounted to the body via a poorly designed retention nut on the bottom of the truck, using the same bolt as the rear seat (driver's side). When my local dealer installed my subwoofer, the tech must have approached the bolt from a bad angle and...

    6.2 Lifter/Engine Failure Poll

    Love my 6.2. Will I still feel that way if I encounter a lifter issue? Probably not as much, but once I get it fixed/replaced, I'll be just as happy as I am today - enough to come back and buy a 4th one if they add forced induction before they ultimately retire the V8 Silverados. I don't tow...

    2025 Ram RHO Debuts As Chevy Silverado ZR2 Rival

    Lol, a TRX with a V6. It's like a V6 Mustang.

    New ZR2 owner here....might be an idiot...

    So the simulator came in Saturday. It's just a 1x1" plastic module that plugs directly into the valve sensor. My muffler shop kept the valve housing assembly and zip-tied it to the frame. You just unplug the sensor from the housing and plug the simulator into it and zip tie it to the frame or...

    6.2 Lifter/Engine Failure Poll

    As an aside, if you happen to be the current owner of the following VIN(s), please vote. Those were my first two. 3GCUDHEL0NG657746 3GCUDHEL4NG573817 If both are still fine, that's technically 2 more votes for no failure...yet! ;)

    New ZR2 owner here....might be an idiot...

    FYI, you can buy the valve simulator from AWE if you made the same mistake I did. $11 delivered. Reach out to their team via https://awe-tuning.com/pages/support. I purchased my kit from RealTruck.com and requested support from them as well, but AWE responded first. Once it delivers I'll share...

    Hi there - Hard Shifting?

    Understand this anecdotal and subjective, but I've owned 3 Silverado 1500 ZR2's at this point and can confirm that the sweet spot is 4,500 miles for the transmission to complete learning. Imprecise downshifts and low speed gear fumbling is pretty common for the first 3-4.5k. This was the case...
