Is there a definite period of time where these trucks were affected? I have a 2016 that's about a year and a few months old and has 28k. No issues so far but I really don't want to have to deal with my ac dying.

Richard Nixon founded the EPA after visiting China for the first time.

Almost 30k on my truck with tons of long highway trips and stop and go commutes, oil level is always perfect and I can never tell. Now, one comment I'll make has to do with the sound when you have an exhaust. My buddy's straight piped 5.7 Charger sounds "different" in 4cyl mode, but by no means worse. It still sounds like a V8 just a slightly different pitch. Are the Silverados alot different with an exhaust (or no exhaust?)?

If I ever got a non-GM truck, the Power Wagon would be my first choice. Probably the most practically configured vehicle ever.

A dealer ended up doing the tire swap and it wasn't mentioned, so I doubt it. However when I drive by those "your speed" radar things on the highway the speed it shows is right on with my speedometer.

Anytime man. I'm running P-rated 275/60/20 Duratracs.

For those with radiator issues, would there ever be a warning light or other indicator? My truck's engine temp has always ran a little high when running at high revs for an extended period of time (like uphill highway driving, it sustains about 3K or so).

Mine decreased about 2 mpg or so from the factory Continental CrossContacts. Feels like city driving suffered more than highway. Ride is probably firmer and I feel like my chevy shake is a tad worse, but with placebo factored in there probably isn't much of a difference in the ride itself. I'm going to be switching to 17's and Fierce Attitudes, also on stock suspension, soon as well.

This may be true, but if anyone REALLY drives out to the sticks, I'm talking hours from an interstate or mall, where anyone who acts like some big country bo because it's what's in now since Duck Dynasty and modern commercial country music and all those other contributors to posing have come about, and you pull into a gas station with a sign from 1978 and nothing for sale but fatback, mountain dew, the cheapest brands of smokeless tobacco and Busch is in the premium beer section, and you look who pulls in, I gurantee that the majority of the trucks gassing up will be two wheel drive V6's or I6's with mud grips on the rear wheels only, complete with straight pipes from when the exhaust fell off in 1997 and a dog who never leaves the shotgun seat. Growing up I saw more 4.3 Chevy's, 4.2 and 4.9 Ford's and 3.9 Dodges than any other kind of truck, and countless 4 cylinder quarter-tons. It was all we needed and they lasted plenty long. The image of what a truck is and what it supposedly has to have for "real work" or someones ego is alot different, contrary to popular belief, in suburban USA than in the hills and hollers that everyone is trying to claim their from. I'm not downplaying how cool modern engine technology is, I'm simply making a statement that "real rednecks", whatever that is, usually don't half-live out of a Denali for 20 years. A truck is something to depend on, not much else.

All this math and science....Can I just like my V6 truck because it's a good truck hahaha?

I love my 4.3. I got 22 mpg on stock tires and after it broke in I can bark the tires just as easily as any V8 I've driven. Plus that big V6 has a very unique sound that I think's pretty cool.

Once I finally convince myself to do it, I'm going to put 285 70 17 Fierce Attitudes (another Goodyear M/T) on a set of Tahoe police package wheels (unless I can find some good aftermarket 17" black steel wheels for way cheaper) on my truck....my only qualm is I really don't wanna do a level....ugh

How do you possibly have rub with a lift like that? Your tires are under 33"

Find a dealer that'll give you 17" base model takeoffs. That's what I'm gonna do when I need tires next (which I really really hope is gonna come soon haha).

Your best bet is to find a tire that's 285/45/22.
