Hey there all!
I have an 02' Chevy DMax 4WD CC.
I love this truck, especially with my special add ons that has made it much more liveable.
I have an Edge Attitude Juice (always set to level 5, even towing, never had a tranny slip, knock on wood) with 78,000 miles so far.
Believe it or not, one of the best upgrades was the Incognito leveling system including their upper A arms and Idler/pitman arm stabilizer. this has made what I believe to be the trucks worst point very good now. The stock front end sucks!
I have also added the Filtration Solutions bypass filter system and am amazed at how clean my oil always looks now.
I just ordered the "Diesel Secret Energy" kit and am interested in the results. I'll keep everyone posted.
Anyone else here from AZ?
Welcome :) What specifically was the difference in the front end with the leveling system?

I had problems with making the pitman and idler arms last more than 25000K miles.
As far as the suspension, the stock design has the shock too short and the factory bumps stops never being reached.
I leveled the truck out by adjusting the torsion bars, and the lack of downward travel issue was made much worse.
When I towed or just went over larger bumps I would top out the suspension, and that made the ride very rough as well as blew out more than one shock over time.
The Incognito leveling system has made my downward travel mcuh more so the ride is better, it off roads better, and when I tow my front end doesn't violenently hop anymore.
I hope that helps!

Thats what I figured! How can anyone not like beer?
What part of town do you live in?
What is a PPE code blocker?

What is a PPE code blocker?
N.E. Valley near Tatum and Jomax. The PPE code blocker is a small module that keeps false codes for the MAF and EGR from coding. The LBZ engine is very sensitive to codes, along with the LLY and the LB7 but even more sensitive. I got an EGR code when towing just with the cat-back exhaust on it! It is ok for now, but there are alot of guys on here that do not like the PPE unit and say that it might actually block real codes that I might want to know about and that it only blocks the light from coming on but still stores the code in the computer. I am waiting for the finger stick and EGR blocker plate to come out for the LBZ, then will probably switch to that instead.
Where in Chandler are you located?
What do you tow?
ps: I dont know how anyone can NOT like beer either, I ask her that everyday! LOL!
