cstmg8 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Won't be needing the ON3 package now. Picked up a 2018 Callaway Silverado. 560 hp supercharged 6.2L. haven't gotten to play much due to the rain, but I grabbed a few pics. It definitely needs some chrome/emblem/sticker removal, and a trip to Tim for sealing, but it's a good start! Can't decide if I should go with a leveling kit right away, or maybe lower the rear, lol.

Not Brian Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Leveling kits seem to be wearing people's front ball joints prematurely. Also look for leaks on the headliner.. people have issues with the shark fin and third brake light leaking. Run a bead of clear silicone around the base of each to fix that. Otherwise I would just leave it as-is and enjoy it. Oh yeah and if you have a wireless phone charger pad on your armrest that doesn't work, check out youtube for the (simple) fix. You basically just pull out the whole rubber mat, cut off some nub underneath it, then reinstall it backwards. Took me 5min and it works great now.

aussiek2000 Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Lower the rear. Antenna issues seem to stop at 2016 model year from what I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shipped one to Pennsylvania and one to Virginia. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POS VETT Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I never had leaking problem with my '15, '16, '17, and '18 trucks. If there was a leaking problem, a dealer should take care of it. There are "lift blocks" on the rear axle. They're about 1.25" thick. Removing them might achieve the lowering amount you seek and it's the easiest, near-free method.

I'm not sure about lowering it, I've always taken trucks the other way, but it just seems to make more sense on this one.

I'd like to get it done asap, before the Ohio weather gets to the paint anymore. Let me Know what package makes the most sense. I'd like fully sealed and polished, if I can afford it, lol.

cruizin01 Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Cool truck. My Sierra had a ~2" block in the rear I removed to level mine out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm looking at the right blocks, do the leaf springs then just rest on the axle? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 There are flat spots on the axle tubes acting as saddles for the spring packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Nice truck. Question on the emblems- if you remove them, what makes the truck any different than a similarly equipped model that you slapped a blower on besides saving 7-10k?

I'm up in the air about which if any of the chrome letters. Red bowties have to go. The warranty is one big difference, if I don't mod it further, and I don't have to tell you of all people about the fun of a sleeper.

If you can show me where I can get a complete blower setup installed and tuned for that much, they've got my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssFo Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Pretty much anywhere. Kits are around $6500. Install/tune won't be $3500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
