When you’re ready to upgrade your diesel’s brakes, a Power Stop Z36 Truck and Tow Brake Kit will give you the stopping power you need, all in one box.
These kits feature carbon fiber-reinforced ceramic brake pads that provide severe-duty stopping power without the dust. The pads are chamfered and slotted for noise-free braking, and are thermal-scorched for faster break-in. You also get a matched set of drilled and slotted rotors with a rust-resistant silver zinc plating to keep brake temperatures down, especially on long descents. Stainless steel shims, stainless steel hardware, new pin bushings, and high-temperature lubricant are included.

The LIFTMachine installs on the top of the strut assembly so there is no time-consuming strut disassembly. That also means there is no coil spring “preload” that can mess up ride comfort.
The ProRyde LIFTMachine is ideal for adding fender clearance for larger wheels and tires or compensating for heavy equipment such as winches and snow plows. You keep your OEM ride quality, and the kit can be removed if desired.

From carrying construction materials to the job site to hunting, biking, boating, overlanding and more, Thule Truck Racks can take all the use and abuse you can throw at it. Thule is so confident about the design and quality of the truck rack system, it backs it with a limited lifetime warranty.
Thule TracRac Pro 2 Truck Racks can safely transport up to 1,000 pounds of cargo. The lightweight aluminum uprights have corner bracing to increase stability and performance; integrated tie-downs and mounts accommodate most bed-mounted toolboxes. The rack secures to your truck’s bed via heavy-duty clamps with rubber-topped linings to protect the bedrails and finish.
The oval-shaped crossbars include Thule’s T-slot track system with full-width adjustable sliding load stops and movable tie-downs with quick-release clamp knobs. Integrated wind deflectors reduce wind resistance and keep wind noise to a minimum. TracRac Pro 2 Truck Racks come complete with four uprights, two crossbars, four load stops, eight bed rail clamps and two toolbox mounts.

Designed as direct replacements for the factory cylinder heads, Edelbrock Duramax Diesel Cylinder Heads have optimized intake runner airflow rates to flow at least 20 percent more air than the factory heads while maintaining a swirl ratio very similar to stock. That means a complete and clean burn of the air/fuel charge, two important factors in meeting stringent diesel emissions requirements.
The exhaust runners are massaged to reduce airflowrestrictions through the heads. That reduces intake air temperatures, allowing cooler, denser air into the engine. A better-flowing head also provides more energy to drive the turbocharger faster to make more power, or make the same amount of power with less effort.
Edelbrock Duramax Diesel Cylinder Heads are heat-treated to T7 specifications to reduce the residual stress in the castings, making them more stable and allowing more accurate machining. T7 heat treating also improves the tensile strength, compressive strength, and hardness of the casting to reduce the likelihood of cracks, dropped valve seats, or ‘lifting’ heads in extreme operating environments.

The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra HD trucks are known for their workhorse capabilities; however, they are not equipped with a rear sway bar from the factory. This causes undue body roll and reduces driver control during towing or hauling conditions.
The sway bar is forged from solid 1-1/4-inch diameter heat-treated 4140 chromoly steel and features Hellwig’s Hammertone powder-coat finish. The three-hole design allows users to tune the sway bar to their preferred spring rate.
Hellwig’s 2020-2021 Chevrolet and GMC 2500/3500 bolt-on rear sway bar (P/N 7782) includes all mounting hardware, adjustable end links to integrate with factory components and aftermarket suspension setups and polyurethane bushings. The Hellwig rear sway bar for Silverado and Sierra HD trucks is compatible with 2WD, 4WD, single rear-wheel and dually configurations. Hellwig sway bars are made in the USA and are covered by a lifetime warranty on all steel parts.

A major common weak point on Chevrolet/GM HD series trucks is the steering linkage and tie rods with high torque engines, lift kits and larger tires putting greater strains on the steering system than what OEM intended.
These common failures include loose steering, front wheels toe-in under load while in four-wheel drive, and broken tie rods. If you have made performance upgrades to your truck, it’s lifted or you do serious towing, you should consider upgrading your steering kit before doing catastrophic damage to your truck.
The forged I-Beam Centerlink, meant for Chevy/GMC 2001-2003, 2005-2007 1500HD and 2001-2010 2500 HD/3500HD Silverado/Sierra trucks, is 30 percent stronger than OEM, which reduces flex in the steering system and creates a strong base for the tie rods to be attached to.The tie rods are 1.5 times thicker than OEM for reduced flex and have larger inner ball joints for reduced wear. Testing has shown the BD tie rods can take over double the amount of force that OEM rods can handle. Greaseable ball joints come with sintered bearings and allow for better load holding and increased life.

Routine maintenance is vital to keeping your truck in peak operating condition. When it’s time to drain and refill your diesel’s transmission or axles, consider Valvoline Gear Oil. The premium gear oils reduce sludge and carbon varnish buildup on gears and bearings so they live a longer and happier life.
Valvoline’s DuraBlend Gear Oil is formulated from premium synthetic and conventional base oils to deliver enhanced performance in both low- and high-temperature operating conditions. Valvoline recommends DuraBlend Gear Oil for light trucks and heavy-duty trucks where an API GL-4 or GL-5 oil is specified, and temperature and humidity ranges vary widely between service intervals.

The Tow-Pro Elite V3 gives you the option of two braking modes:
Proportional Mode is designed for on-highway towing. It applies the trailer brakes in proportion to the tow vehicle’s deceleration—the harder you apply the vehicle brakes, the harder the trailer will brake. You can adjust brake sensitivity to match varying trailer loads or driver braking preference.
User Controlled Mode lets you set trailer brake sensitivity; the trailer will brake at that level regardless of how hard the tow vehicle brakes. This mode is ideal for off-road use or where you want precision control over your trailer brakes.
The Tow-Pro Elite V3 has a three-axis accelerometer that can measure acceleration in any direction and constantly monitors the direction of travel. That means you can mount the controller in any position or location and it will accurately apply the proper level of braking force. The Tow-Pro Elite V3’s control knob can be installed remotely from the controller itself. You can mount the controller box out of the way and mount the control knob on the dash or other convenient location.
The Tow-Pro Elite V3 is compatible with electric and electric/hydraulic trailer brakes and 12- or 24-volt vehicle electrical systems.

S&S Diesel Motorsport, the creator of the original CP4 bypass kit for the 6.7L Power Stroke, is at it again with a much-improved second generation kit. Since its debut in 2016, the original S&S 6.7L Power Stroke CP4 Bypass Kit has safeguarded thousands of injectors from CP4 debris. Being a company founded by fuel system engineers, S&S Diesel Motorsport has the ability to offer great solutions to fuel system problems. While the original bypass kit offers really good protection from a CP4 failure, the last four years have given S&S engineers plenty of time to discover and eliminate potential problems.
The S&S Diesel Motorsport Gen2 6.7L Power Stroke CP4 Bypass Kit features all quick connect lines that will eliminate the need for cutting the factory supply line, which is a debris introduction point, especially if the cut is not thoroughly deburred. It also eliminates the need to use a compression fitting, which is a potential leak point. The OE-style quick connect lines also eliminate any threaded joints that are further leak points and have the potential of generating debris during install.
