not to change topic, well, actually yes to change topic lol but does anyone know the compression ratio of the 4.8? I tried searching around for it for like 20 minutes but I couldn't find it. I'm gonna guess around 9.0:1?

 

I would say you are correct. If it was any higher you would have to run something better than 87 octane from the factory.

 

got some vids from the holiday weekend, just wanted to share

awesome vids! what happened on the "better one" vid when you were going down the one hill, did your suspension bottom out?

 

Sounds real good, the curves and hills videos look like a blast

 

front driver tire rubbed the inner fender in the dip


and the curves and hills were a blast and always are, every chance i get to visit them.

 

LOVE the way the truck drives and sounds!!!

...BUT you got some BIG BRASS ***** to be hauling down some of those roads....lol



PS.....is the 4.88 at the bottom of the vid your rearend ration?

 

yeah the gears are 4.88's

i was taking it easy, i could have pushed harder, but i was worried about running up on someone pulling out of a driveway or farm equipment. the funny thing is i only see that road maybe three times a year and it feels like i have driven it everyday of my life.

 

Need some help fellas. I am almost certain my truck has a 2/4 drop on it. I know that the Regency info says 1.3/3 but I've measured and it is a 2/4 drop. I have been exchanging words with a guy over at GMFS about this and I need to know if I am crazy or not. Anyone else ran into this?

 

regency told me that it was 1.5" in the front and 3 in the rear, but considering the quality of their work i dont think they know. basically yes it is a 2/4 drop but ground force probably told regency that as a selling point so when regency went to contract with gm, they would cover it under warranty, cuz its not that big of a change. i have talked to ground force directly about my suspension and i cant remember what the guy told me, but when i told him i had a rst he knew exactly what was on there, they have files on these truck at ground force. phone # 724-430-2068
