  1. I know your post of the ruby red truck is old... but....

    Did you have to add any spacers with the 275/70R18 setup with the stock rims?  Any ABS light issues or anything else funky?

     

    Thanks

  2. I've made several longer posts about this problem I had on a 2007 I had. So I will keep it short for now. I cannot stress enough how important it is to watch out for mold after having this leak issue. You may or not ever smell anything but you or even more important a child that is sensitive to such could become very sick. I'm an Asthmatic and this nearly put me six feet under. Not a joke! GM had to rip out and replace a LOT of my interior due to black mold.
  3. 'Fixin to make a run to the beer store. Two more miles and I will turn over 20,000 miles. Not too bad for a 2014. Maybe I won't get reamed too bad when I trade it in on the 2019's when they come out. Yeah right. lol I'm just a sucker for that new truck smell. Let see... I had a '96,'99,'03,two '07's a classic and new body style, a '12 and now I'm on my third 2014. First two were lemons. Hey... I didn't say I was the most frugal guy with my money. I just like new trucks. ?
  4. Yeah, I am shure that 91/93 will fix your problem. Let us know how it turns out. And if all is well then it will be time to get a Blackbear tune to unleash the potential of that 6.2
  5. That is called detonation. It is BAD. The 6.2 is a 11.5 to 1 compression engine. Anything but premium fuel is asking fo trouble. You seriously can't afford an extra few bucks every fill up? And you don't think your 50,000 dollar truck is worthy of 91/93 fuel? YOU FINE SIR DO NOT DESERVE THE HONOR OF OWNING A 6.2 !!!!! ?
  6. It just looks like you have the pedal to the metal. Haha
  7. If you do any work yourself the dealer will only use that against you if things go south. If under warranty let them handle it.
  8. Man those tires look good. How 'bout a review? Especially how do they ride? How bad is the "low speed, driving on cleats " feeling? What other tires would you compare them close to? Thanks in advance.
  9. I have the RC upper and lower spacers and if I had to do all over again I would just do bottom only. I've had ball joints creaking and making noise since the first week. I had two reputable 4x4 shops check out the install and everything was installed correctly. This is with aluminum control arms. With both spacers it's really stretching it. Also with both spacers @2.5 on the front only it looks nose high at times. But it is dead level.
  10. I just took off a set of LT285/65/18's and swapped for a set of LT 275/70's and that helped a little, plus the 285's were Nitto Trail Grapplers and they rode like shit. Felt like riding on tank tracks felt really heavy. Now I'm running Cooper AT3's and they feel like p rated tires. Plus they're a little narrower so there is less rolling resistance. And my lazy butt can still drive thru the auto car wash. These tires aren't as sexy as the Nittos but at least it doesn't sound like my dash is going to fall apart. My phone is playing dumb tonight and I can't post pics for some reason but you can go to my profile and check out a few post back. There should be some pics where I compared the two tires. Here are the pics of both tires for comparison Tire Fitment
  11. Sounds like a great plan.
  12. For those of you that moved to some aggressive heavy 33s like Toyos...what the hell did you do to remedy the loss in MPG? Lol i just cruised here in the delta (it's flat) at 45mph, was holding 17mpg. Compared to 20-24 with the stock tires. I'm thinking exhaust and tune to bring some power back. At the very least to remedy the throttle response issue. I thought the truck was somewhat sluggish with stock tires. Put these huge things on and it's very very noticeable. Well your mpg math will be off a little due to running a taller tire unless you recalibrate your speedo and hell if you adjust that you might as well go ahead and get a tune. That won't really help though because you won't be able to keep your foot out of it.

As for throttle response, try driving in M5 or M7 if you have 8 speed unless you're on the interstate and use tow haul mode and the truck will feel better but that won't really help your mpg. You should see my mpg. I'm lucky to get 9 mpg right now because I just switched back to E85 plus I have a 2.5 level and removed the lower air dam/valence. Get yourself a Blackbear tune. You will kick yourself for not doing it on day one. Worth every penny. And if you buy an Autocal you can have a few different tunes. One for performance, one for fuel savings or whatever you like.
  13. Gibson and Stroker, well done gentleman. More tire less wheel That beats those 22's and rubber bands ANYDAY. ???
  14. That's one big ass blue truck. #cookiemonster
