    Dorman not known for quality in materials or design across the board, in most cases lesser quality than OEM.  I have no idea if their driveshafts are any good.  If it's all you can find, it'll have to do though, right?  Hope it works out well.  It may be just fine as long as you aren't beating on it.  Your original one may have failed due to corrosion or prior abuse.

    It failed because i lowerd my truck 3/4..my driveshaft was hitting the crossmember..then this winter my truck bottomed out with all tje snow built up in the bed..went over a bump and it was strong enough to break the driveshaft.

    Should be 15200239 but it's gonna be discontinued from GM.  Dorman makes one but I dunno if I'd trust it.. but it's the only new one listed on Rockauto, other ones all appear to be the wrong application/length.  At $633+shipping for a Dorman piece, I think I'd be checking for a local driveshaft shop to you and see what they could hook you up with.

    Thanks...I ended up going with the doorman one..thats the only one i could find online..why not trust it?

    I have an 03ss and I'm having trouble with the dual zone climate control. First off the A/C doesn't work but I'm just gonna guess that's unrelated to my main problem, the heat control. for the most part the heater works, the air comes out of the right vents and the blower speed works fine, if i have the heat set at max (32c) it works fine but if i lower it just one degree, it just blows cold outside air. its max heat or none at all. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have the same problem on mine..Exactly what u described.. what I herd from doing research is that it has to do something with the little sensor on top of your headliner..the one that looks like a little mic its actually called a aspirator and its a sensor for the climate control.The problem i have is that it looks like someone removed the sensor and the wiring for that when the previous owner put a new headliner on the truck..it almost looks like it never came with the truck..I guess ill have to somehow rewire it or something.

    I agree, I have never used it before but I will be from now on!

    I finished this weekend. I also installed the shorter bump stops to accommodate for the drop kit

    Will shorter bumpstops lower the height just a little bit..i already installed my drop kit but left the oem bumpstops on.

  5. Does anyone run this cam on their ss? I just ordered it.i use my truck on the weekends and sometimes it can be a daily driver..i have long tube headers a magnaflow and a volant cold air intake installed on my ss. I want my truck to sound a little bit meaner and just a bit faster..is this a good cam..not looking to turn my ss into a race truck...

    He’ll yeah man! I’m down I’ll take it.. I’ll pay you the shipping fee if you ship it to me... btw how hard is it to install the fog lights? I’ve kinda been wondering how to install them... I know sometimes ppl have to move the grill a little to the front for clearance and I wanna know if I can install them without moving anything... I’d like to keep everything stock with the foglights 

    I just installed my foglights the other day..i didn't use any brackets..didn't want to drill any holes so I just used zipties..turned out really good.

    Still available new (for now) from GM for about $160 shipped, or you can just screwdriver one off somebody else's bumper like some asshat did to my wife's truck.  Haven't replaced it yet though I did take the eraser wheel to the old tape the other day to clean it up.

    Richard

    Lol I was actually thinking of doing that!lol jk. Yea they run pretty expensive.

    pm me I have a trick you can try

     

    also if your drivers side front is sitting lower (normal gm lean) then it throws the rear off also.

    Yea what's the trick? It looks like my left side is a little higher then my right after lowering with ur kit.

    It's a good time to 14 bolt swap!!!

     

    is this close to you!? This is perfect bc it has disc brakes. You will just need to change the gears to 4.10

    14 Bolt Rear: https://swmi.craigslist.org/pts/d/riverside-gm-14-bolt-rear-axle-lug/6932356810.html

     

    Gears https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/d/hartland-gm-14-bolt-410-gears/6957605995.html

    Yea it is close to me.. why is a 14 bolt swap better than just upgrading my 10 bolt with a tru trac tho?
