Got it back this evening. If I never, ever, drive a "car" again in my lifetime, I'll be thankful.

From the dealership, to the house, the truck ran fine. Still parked. Prior to leaving for Dallas, they had me in a little Buick "something". Nice little car, but small. Turned it in prior to leaving, and the company rented me a Chevy Impala. Not bad, smaller. I'm spoiled, sorry.

What they did to the truck, is a long list. But essentially, new pistons and rings. I'll take a closer look at the work order tomorrow, but hopefully it solves the oil consumption issue.

Right on, John. I bet you are solid, now.

I hope so brother! I love my truck, and do not need a new one. Still fighting HDitis, but I'll make it through.

When my truck got hit the insurance company gave me a Kia Rio for a rental. It was only 2 or 3 days, but enough for this guy :(

Yesterday I replaced my rear air shocks with some Bilsteins part #33-185606. Wow what a difference did that make. Makes me want to replace my front Belltech struts now. Hmmmmm
Tell me more! I hate the ride in the rear. Over bumps is ridiculous. Front is great. I need details man...
:tmc:
My air shocks weren't hacking it anymore. I think they were way too bouncy. So while doing a little research on PT.net this shock came up, they are only $86 shipped from Summit so I thought I would give them a whirl. I have only had them in one day but the difference is marvelous. Now I can tell that my front struts need to be changed after 60,000. I don't think Belltech designed their drop struts to have the longevity normal strut manufactures have.
Mine is bouncy in the rear as well. I like the ride and handling other than that. How is yours lowered in the rear?
