It will bolt right up for you, no need to bother with a dealership (like they'll know anyway). Nothing important changed between the 3rd and 4th gen in regards to wheel/tire fitment.
Not really sure how/why his TBC "never worked" but the factory unit in my '17 EL works fine. I'm not in love with how it ramps in trailer braking pressure really high on the initial vehicle brake application, then that pressure tapers off. Sometimes it makes things feel slightly jerky but this...
Yes CCD still functions just fine with the ReadyLift kits. It's a spacer that goes on top of the existing strut with brackets to keep the sensors in the right working range. Only way to lift a CCD rig and still keep CCD functional. The Rough Country arms are a nice option, because I agree the...
The factory side rails are rated for the weight, but the crossbars are not. I have a 2017 EL without sunroof, which gets you that 200lb factory dynamic rating.
Tent: CVT Mt Washington "medium", 75x47x10" when closed, and around 185lbs.
It spent roughly 18 months on the top of my car with...
I have essentially the same rig but in black, and I did Eibach/Bilstein 5100s. Mileage was half of yours at the time of replacement, but my springs and perches were in perfect shape so I reused all that without issue. Just hammer the perches off, it was not hard at all (west coast vehicle, so no...
Would you be able to share the coding for getting the fogs as DRL? I made a number of changes to my ‘17 XLT in forscan, but wasn’t successful with that one.
Bilstein 5100s would be your best bet. Unless there is damage or you can visibly see/feel spring sag, just reuse the factory pieces aside from the strut.
5100s allow for stock height or up to ~1.5" of lift front and rear.
While I can understand your frustration, every vehicle is going to need repairs as it ages and gets used, a lot, like yours is.
Why are you driving 20k/yr and do you need to be doing it in a full size SUV? I'm not suggesting either is a bad thing, but driving a high maintenance vehicle that...
My fan runs on high with the AC on when ambient temps are in the 90s or higher. Pretty normal to ensure everything is staying cool. These motors produce a lot of heat so it needs to work harder compared to other cars to keep everything in check.
What are the ambient temps when this happens?
It sounds like a sumo spring a previous owner inserted to help with sag while loaded up (usually towing). If you don’t want them, many people here would take them, including myself.
I would advise pulling the pan, replacing the ~7 quarts and filter, then putting a drain plug in your original pan while it’s off, or buying the dorman pan which has one installed. I can assure you the fluid iniside a 6r80 is not going to last 150k without severely breaking down.
I had Juggernaut tune mine, they use and prefer SCT. It's a "custom" tune like some of the other companies mentioned here where they send a base file, and you provide logs based on each file. Takes a few days but really dials everything in just how you want it. I previously used the canned SCT...
I really like the paint matched front grille.
Noticed in your sig you made some ditch light brackets, any more info on those? I did the same since I couldn't find anything available for these, but they're kinda thin and wobble at times. Can PM me if you want.
WDH will be your answer, and most of them offer some sort of sway control which will also improve the towing experience. I use a Fastway E2 on my 2017 and it's great with a ~6k lb trailer hooked up.
Finally get to contribute pictures to this thread after staring at it for over a year. Just a baby 1.25" lift all around since my stock sized tires are still in excellent shape and I like how the perform on every surface, so no desire to swap just yet. And I wanted to keep the rake.
Fronts...
I think mine was version 2.2 as well and I jumped straight to 3.4x. Everything works fine on mine except the clock. For whatever reason, I lost the little clock in the bottom right corner of the instrument cluster. And then a few months later the clock display on the main screen doesn't count...
To follow up on this, I'm doing mine right now. I can confirm on my 2017 with the standard struts (non CCD, non leveling), the perches come right off with 1-2 smacks from a 3lb hammer. I'm also having no issue doing them with a standard rental spring compressor from O'Reilly's/Autozone. Using...
I don't see how you'd smell burning ATF unless it was leaking out and dripping on the exhaust or puking out the vent tube. Check around the pan to see if the gasket is leaking, maybe the seal is slightly compromised and some sneaks out when it really gets hot (and thins out).
But yeah, what...
