| what is better...... i have a 1988 1500 sierra long box, and want to put a camper on it, the camper is older and weighs about 800 lbs, our vehicle weighs about 6000 lbs. we do not know what the gvwr for our truck is, as it was removed from the door, if someone else has a truck like ours, could you let us know what it is...we want to know if we should put 1 or 2 leaves as we already have 4 on each side, or should we go with the air bags? | |

Replying to: rich107 (Apr 10, 2008 5:55 am) Because I'm picky about tires and stuff, I've changed mine out when the truck had less than 3K miles and sold them to a worker who had the same model but much higher mileage. I agree with you when I test drove the 2wd it had a substantially better ride than the 4wd. |

The above is my Wife's vehicle. I drove it the other day and when driving over anything - such as a speed bump - the vehicle does the "bouncy bouncy bouncy" thing that's associated with blown shocks (even at slow speeds). Took it to the dealership's service department and they said "it's just the nature of the '06" and that "there's nothing wrong with the suspension". I say nonsense and went to the General Manager of the dealership - who got the Service manager to ride with me - he sort of agreed with the service foreman but said they'd keep the truck and check it out further. I know there's something wrong and not just "something inherent with that year". Anyone else had problems similiar ? Thanks - Bill

Replying to: walledition (Jul 04, 2008 2:39 pm) If you look at your rear spring pack do you have two leafs? That in itself could be an issue. But I'd go back to the rims for vibrations. |

I'm new here and trying to find infor. I used search and got no definitive response. My 2005 C1500 regular cab V6 5 spd has what sounds like a shock absorber rattle in the left front suspension. It started at about 28K miles and at 29K it is getting progressively worse. I've inspected everything and find nothing suspicious looking. I'm told that ther is a TSB on a shock absorber bushing that corrects a shock misalignment issue. I'm told that replacing the shock will not help. Can anyone direct me to the proper TSB or offer other advice. I'm getting worried that something critical is about to break. Thanks |
