    What all do I need with Bilstein 5100?

    What all do I need with Bilstein 5100?

    38 3/4" in front, 39" in the rear. And I guess the 2" extra from the bilsteins... not too high for now, dont really have tire/gear/tuner money at the moment. But whatever I can get without having to shell out alot at once. Just something I can do one thing at a time. Struts now, tuner, then...

    What all do I need with Bilstein 5100?

    Are the bilstein 5100 shocks all I need to lift front and rear? Or is there a whole kit I need? All stock 2011 4x4 1500 4.7 do I need a tune? Tires are 285/70r17, 3.55 gears

    Any Tips for hills in my 4.7?

    Lol this is how it drives with no trailer, empty bed. 3.55 gears. Tires slightly bigger than stock 285/70r17. It sucks me to 1500rpm at almost any speed. 70 mph I think I'm at 2000rpm. Low rpms arent what I'm complaining about. Just not being able to accelerate in current gear without...

    Any Tips for hills in my 4.7?

    What about when I'm not on a hill? Like on flat ground, from a stop when I push down it will accelerate thru all the gears perfect, but when I ease up on the gas even just a tiny bit it sucks me down to 12, 1500 rpms to hold my speed. Just to get maybe 5mph faster I have to downshift. Is that...

    Any Tips for hills in my 4.7?

    I dont want to drive under 2k. I just want to be able to accelerate in the gear I'm in without downshifting all the time, I'll be stuck at 1.5k rpms going maybe 40 mph, foot about an inch down on the pedal, if I push it down even a little bit more, it will downshift just to get to 45mph. Like...

    Any Tips for hills in my 4.7?

    So hills suck big time with my truck, not even really steep. Long hills are what kills me. But steep short ones too. Any tips? Getting a running start doesnt help much. It always sucks me back down to 12k to 15k rpms before I reach the top and have to downshift to stay over 50mph. Is there a...

    Weird noise

    Does it do it when u start the truck and just let it sit? Or in park at low acceleration? Or in reverse/drive when not moving? If u can get it to do it when trucks not moving, go around to your tail pipe and press down on it with your foot. If vibration sound stops with the pressure from your...

    Trans Slipping on right turns only??

    Yea it doesnt do it at all when I do the same speed-slow-speed up again just going straight, maybe it's just pausing for a downshift?

    Trans Slipping on right turns only??

    Axle sticker is gone. Door sticker doesnt say. Haven't tried a small burnout to see yet, but I'm pretty sure I have a one wheel drive only. Stock ST.....you thinking maybe traction control is kicking in and stopping me from going?

    Trans Slipping on right turns only??

    So when I make a sharp right hand turn without stopping completely, from around 30-45mph down to about 10-15 for a turn, after I turn I hit the gas and feels like maybe trans slipping...I've ever had a vehicle with a slipping trans before so not 100% sure. But rpms go up and doesnt accelerate...

    Bumper swap ST to SLT

    Found a brand new bumper on craigslist for $60. First step in turning my ST exterior into SLT. (Pretty sure it's an ST, doesnt say anywhere on truck or my paperwork that I've seen yet). Took about an hour and a half. Tow hooks and lights coming next.....looks better to me, but kinda funky with...
