What have you done to your Silverado ZR2 this week? 🛠️

[Captain Tuttle]

I’m sorry to hear about your experience today. Pretty sucky all around.

Any noticeable change in ride quality?

King is king,
To put it in numbers if we compare ranchos to king that’s %200 difference but vs the multimatic i would say %85.

If i didn’t had my old set i’d probably give it couple of more hard years then replace to King.

So far, I had matte black and charcoal laminate film installed on fake hood scoop. I actually would like to swap for just a regular hood or find a functioning aftermarket scoop. Ford and Dodge have functioning scoops. Come on Chevy! Any ideas appreciated. I took the antiquated antenna off and got a short one. I got in channel window vents (not weather tech). Last week, I took out the back floor mats and cheap storage tray under the back seats only to find the floors mats had been cut with a box cutter under the tray. The hack job was quite a disappointment given the 80K price tag. I replaced the mats with a Weathertech mat. I didn’t like the way the weathertech storage tray was made so skipped it as well. It could fit better. I feel like GM is doing everything it can to run off bowtie fans like me.

i agree on functional hood scoop. hood should have been stamped too. would not be dealing with paint defect.

@AXE Was right. There is a bowtie cut out on the flex bison wrap. I just wanted to check.

Added Bora 1.25” spacers today. Cutting the wheel studs was tedious but the end result was worth it.

Fab’d up and installed an aluminum bracket for future oil catch can install. Haven’t decided which catch can yet but it will get mounted here. Just trying it out until then. Will paint it and mount with proper fasteners when I install the catch can.

Nothing. Sat in the Garage all week while in DisneyWorld.

Any concern running spacers?

Nope. Many members on here running them without an issuez

It's almost like you posted pictures of that two posts before.

You may get some rubbing. When you pushed the wheel further out it gets closer to front and rear of wheel well. Especially true when offroad or making turns through dips.

Why? The J&L can is an OEM design and easily mounts to existing hardware. The J&L is top notch and super high quality.

All the catch cans mount with that one stud for the coolant reservoir. Every video I’ve seen of emptying the can causes the mount to move/pivot around the stud. I’ll drill an extra hole in the can bracket and have two points of contact to attach it my bracket. Won’t move when emptying the can.

Hard to explain but it’ll be clear once I put the can in soon.

I understand what you're saying. I have emptied my J&L numerous times and the can moving was never an issue or a concern.

Your truck, do what you like to it.

Custom aluminum mount is a nice touch.

Let's see what you have done with your Silverado ZR2!

Added side steps, cover, rain guards, mats installed. Had black badging installed with dealer transferring red 2s on side fender ZR2 emblems. Sorry pics reflect everything off black even on cloudy day.

DIY’d oil and filter change at 1000 miles just because. AC Delco PF63 and Mobil 1 0w-20. And, made a bed divider for between the wheel-wells out of a scrap board I had sitting around.

Installed BAK Revolver X4S tonneau cover today….Yay!!!

Both plastic end caps and the plastic clips they locking into were broken in shipping….Booo!!!

The install went pretty smooth no real issues other than the broken plastic. Such a shame they can’t make those parts out of aluminum for the price they charge.

I opened a ticket with BAK so hopefully they resolve it quickly.

Anyway, here are some pics…
