  1. Personally I like drop spindles because they maintain your factory strut and suspension angles, therefore ride quality is unchanged

  5. Negative offset is going to be hard to run without a 4 to 6 inch lift and most that have that size of lift want something much wider than 285.

  6. The vibration I sometimes feel in my truck I wouldn't have paid attention to if it wasn't for reading this thread. The down side I believe, to one of the things we like about these trucks, they are so smooth and quite. I agree in some cases that people have real problems with their trucks, its bound to happen when you produce so many trucks. The same thing could be said about wheels, tires and balance. Some of my biggest fights have been buying new tires, I set aside a day and prepare for the battle. In my case so far its all been road related, if the road is bad it shakes a little, I run lower air pressure too which helps a lot.

  7. Hey everyone first post. So just got my truck last Thursday and stumbled upon this forum. And this thread. I originally planned on getting red or blue and color matching the grille and headlight surrounds but saw this color, fell in love and kind of forgot about that. Anyone color match the grille and or headlights on a tungsten yet? pics? also thinking about blacking out the "silverado" sides and rear. Heres a pic of me and my new babay

  10. I can'not quote exactly what I was told about how the fuel is cut. The dealer General manager explained this to me over a year ago when I bought my first 2014 and went round and round about the smoking at start up. But 14LTZZ71 is pretty close about the fuel cut off. Maybee Im a Dinosaur but if you think that AFM is going to save the Planet, Guess again. AFM good for longevity of engines? yeah right!. Do you really think these 'FREE' oil changes for the first two years are for our benefit or GMs? Its a race to the bottom for that HolyGrail of one more MPG than the other guy. At the very least AFM should be selectable. AFM is just more of the Govt. sticking their MPG nose in where it doesn't belong. GM knows it sucks, but they probably allocated millions to making it work to save half a gallon per mile just so the Socialist arm of the EPA and the Annointed One himself will allow V8s to exist. I'll put my right foot up against V4 any day of the week. And if you think AFM is seamless, just drive in M5 for a week. Then switch back. I would LOVE to tune it out. But seeing how many issues these 14s are having. I'll have to pass. WANT A FOUR BANGER , BUY FORD. The V V T is where GM can really show advancements. Between V V T and cylinder head design and cam grinds. That is where the benefits are. Think about it , 11.5 to 1 compression ratio on pump gas! And you want to run on 'ALL FOUR'. Well there is always a PRIUS with your name on it.

  13. EDIT: I just caught what you were throwing. This is what Bass Mechanic is referring to I think.. "Almost all vehicles show a pulse width of zero when coasting while in gear. Zero, as in there is no fuel injected at all. Yes, the engine is turning over, the pistons are going up and down, the water pump, alternator and a/c compressor are working, so technically you can say the engine is running, sort of. But it's not consuming any fuel. And that goes for automatic or manuals. Okay, eventually, at the bottom of the hill or as you creep up to the traffic light, the engine finally will slow to idle rpm—at which point the fuel injection will wake up and start adding fuel to keep the engine from stalling. That usually starts at around 1000 rpm, and if you pay attention, you can sense when it's happening as the engine will rev up slightly. And that's when the scan tool or oscilloscope will show injector dwell rise from 0 to 5 to 10 percent. So you're actually wasting gas by putting your car into neutral." ----http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/alternative-fuel/news/coasting-in-neutral-fuel-economy

  14. I never said I agree or disagree. I said if your going to call someone out on something you should provide documentation to support your claim. He didn't call me out. Edit: your opinion doesn't mean squat at that point. Edit: and preferably documentation from GM since it's a GM engine design and should discuss their fuel management and delivery technology for their direct injection truck engine.
