Thanks...got any night pics? Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Looking to do something similar on my Sierra hd. Have you noticed any increased temps? Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

My bet would be 25 or 50 mile fuel economy is used. Below 50dte I get low fuel warning. Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

The manual only says the fuel range estimate is based on the average of the vehicles fuel economy over recent driving history and the fuel remaining. It also says the range may not be reset. Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Range is simply average fuel economy times remaining fuel. The average fuel economy used is not based on the trip a or b unless you've not reset it in awhile. Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Did a lot of homework on this about one month ago..http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/166656-BFG-AT-KO2&do=findComment&comment=1560403 Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

You'll notice on the previous data that the load per PSI decreases as PSI increases. The following chart is an extrapolation of that data broken into 1 PSI increments: 35.00 1750 36.00 1786 37.00 1820 38.00 1854 39.00 1888 40.00 1920 41.00 1954 42.00 1988 43.00 2021 44.00 2053 45.00 2085 46.00 2124 47.00 2162 48.00 2200 49.00 2238 50.00 2275 51.00 2302 52.00 2327 53.00 2352 54.00 2377 55.00 2400 56.00 2431 57.00 2461 58.00 2491 59.00 2521 60.00 2550 61.00 2577 62.00 2604 63.00 2630 64.00 2655 65.00 2680

Absolute minimum PSI for this tire is 35 PSI. This is the BFG pressure load chart for a LT275/55R20 KO2 load range D: 35 1750 40 1920 45 2085 50 2275 55 2400 60 2550 65 2680 If you call BFG and get the load pressure data in 5psi increments then I can plug that into my spreadsheet and give you a more accurate PSI by PSI breakdown.

If it wasn't so expensive to take mine off I would so I could sell them...(trading in on Saturday) good ride

I don't have my fronts at the max setting....they are one ring up. On the rear I do have the superspring. Unloaded I have the SSA8s on polypads with the long shackles to keep the rear near factory height unloaded. The truck sets with just a slight rake. Dropping over 1200lbs of TW and adjusting the WDH I end up with just a little sag. Tweaking the supersprings to most tension but still using the polypad didn't change the rear ride height one bit when loaded. I think the only way to preserve the rake is to either add air bags or put a different block on the rear. I'm not doing the block because I'm scared of messing with the pinion angle and inducing vibration where there is none.

I'm going to dig into mine a little more just to make sure

I will do that tomorrow morning! Thanks for the quick feedback.

Low fan speed you can hear it from the passenger side pretty loudly...thoughts?

Heck no! I was 278.47 at the chevy dealer for all 4 installed plus alignment. It kind of sounds like you're getting the same initial quote that I got from a local garage. He ignored me when I told him that I had my own shocks. His initial quote was that high for the installs because it included their crap brand shocks. 162.15 sounds like 4-wheel alignment territory but all you need is front wheel.

I agree with you on the regular alignment. On the Ford forum a supposed Ford suspension engineer gave some insight into their theory of operation. Effectively what he said is that their system monitors sensor position and when it senses a constant input in one direction it provides enough assist to remove most of the workload from the driver. If our system functions in much the same way and your wheel is slightly out of kilter (without the sensor being aligned) then it would make sense that your vehicle might drift.

I did the exact same setup...can barely tell anything has changed.

Use caution on the alignment....after reading about the steering wheel angle sensor alignment requirement (for the electric power steering to correct for road crowns) I started asking local shops if they had the ability to do that procedure. In every case I was told no. So I ended up at the dealer.

Yes

Just had mine put on front/rear.....rides amazing. Update....the best comparison I can make is that the 5100s ride like factory autoride shocks on my denali....always composed. Several large speedbumps around here that give you whiplash on the old shocks at 10mph.....15-20 and it's a minor disturbance in the force. Can't wait to tow with these.

Found a thread that claims previous generation allowed afm at 97°...no idea if that is accurate or if it carried over.

Mine comes on well before that. Think v4 is a function of a few things. Leave the house it's 18°F. When the needle moves off the peg the hvac starts blowing warm and pretty soon after that v4 (maybe 180 at the latest)

I remember as a kid seeing 1/2 ton trucks with campers (think my grandfather had one on his dodge). These days all I see are monster 3k lb slide in campers with 2500 and more frequently 3500. Try rv.net? Looking to dry camp in the boondocks? The reason I ask is I'm curious how much frame flex these things have with a load..or maybe cg limits. They specifically recommend against a crew/extended cab (there is no extended cab only reg, double and crew...makes me think they are forbidding anything but regular cab) and 20s. Just curious and not judging your confidence in your abilities. Did you look at the brackets on e-trailer? Not sure if you found this but it seems to be related to cg. http://mellomikeswolfcreekcamper.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-chevy-silverado-payload-warning.html?m=1

Honestly no Jake. The smallest I've seen is 2500

I haven't....and hardly any of these trucks actually have the claimed payload rating. What does your door sticker say for available payload? More stats here for weight distribution and CG http://www.gmfleetorderguide.com/NASApp/domestic/printbook?pdftype=camper&lang=1&year=2014 Limitations: The following 2014 model year General Motors truck models are not recommended for slide-in camper applications: • Any pickup model with a Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) of less than 226.8 kg (500 lbs). A statement to this effect is imprinted on the Truck-Camper Loading information label that states whether that vehicle is recommended for use with a slide-in camper. • C/K Silverado/Sierra 1500 crew cab, • C/K Silverado/Sierra 1500 with 20” wheels, Notes: • C/K Silverado/Sierra 1500 Pickups should not be used for larger, cab-over type slide-in campers. • Some vehicles may be equipped with exterior trim options that may interfere with installation of a slide in camper. Using a slide in camper for these vehicles is not recommended.
