  1. Cheesy, non of the above Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. My 18 looks much better without the overdone chrome. New Fuel wheels not only look better but much easier to clean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. My 275/60/20 are D rated, 285/60/20 are E rated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Yes, it should but you may ask your tire store if you can switch them out if they don’t clear. It’ll definitely improve going from a 22” to a 20” but you may want to consider 18”’s. 0 offset will stick out a tiny bit more. Remember, E rated tires will ride much rougher than P rated cause they’ve got much thicker side walls and just over all much heavier. I’ve got my KO2’s aired down to 35 psi which helps a bit on comfort but some people find mpg loss airing down. I’ve got Bilstein 5100’s front and rear which helps too. Just for you to know: Fox Shocks will definitely give you a much stiffer/harsher ride then the Bilsteins. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  6. Great idea on the heat gun [emoji1303]. I’ve got Fuel +18 20’s wrapped with 275/60/20 BFG KO2’s. IMHO, sorta wished I did 18’s now cause instead of 20’s reasons being more sidewalls for protection against wheel curb contact and once you go 275/60/20 it’s going to have stiffer sidewalls making rougher ride. I absolutely love my KO2’s, excellent wet/dry/trail traction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I got rubbing on my UCA’s with the stock 20” wheels. I accidentally ordered 22’s on mine and had them switch out to the chrome clad 20” like yours a bit different design though. Everyone I know said that after the lift and due to the new stamped UCA’s they too have had rubbing especially full lock backing up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Thank you, it definitely puts a lot of smiles for the miles on my face. I’ve got the 5.3 in my wife’s 16 Yukon Xl and with it’s 36 gallon fuel tank, it’s our road trip vehicle which gets us depending on head wind, 23-25 on the highway. I almost bought the Denali but a neighbor of mine complained on the mpg’s he was getting on his road trips. In addition, our 6.2’s require super which gets really high out of Texas as well as loss of octane in higher elevations so I’m glad I got the 5.3, wife LOVES it. On both vehicles the key to reliability and optimum performance is maintenance. I switch out the rear fluids and engine air filter every 10K with Amsoil on my wife’s as well as every 4K with Mobile 1 and Mobile 1 oil filter as well as Lucas fuel additive every other fuel tank just to keep things clean.
  9. Same level here but I couldn’t stand the rub at full lock so I switched out the chrome clad wheels with Fuel plus 18 offset and very happy I did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Here’s the total on the same trip reaching my destination. How do you like them now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. To show you what my mpg’s are on the highway cruising at 70 mph with heavier than stock Fuel wheels rapped with 285/60/20 KO2’s here’s a 50 mile computer average Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Yes, 1 - 2 mpg loss. My truck is 18 CrewCab 4x4, standard bed with the 6.2 and not tuned. With the KO2’s I noticed slight performance loss in acceleration and in stopping but slight. From a total stop my truck easily spins them but the positive security I get from having KO2’s on my truck completely outweighs the negative. I’ve owned them all and the difference in quality is obvious, BFG KO2’s are the best period. My road trips at 70 mph within 35 miles gave me 23 plus mpg, at 75-80 I’ll get 21-22 mpg’s. I consider this great, it’s a truck. I had the 2014 5.3 and it was horrible on performance and the mpg getting 18-19 on same distances with Michelin defenders on it too.

  13. Put this setup on my DMAX Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. My brothers Fox 2.0 shocks don’t have boots just bare chrome piston shaft aiming downward (just like the Bilsteins) which is weird considering it’s an off-road shock with nothing to protect it from debris. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. After speaking with GM of 4wheelparts, the geometry of the shock requires install to be right side up for the Bilstein label. I had install as per instructions from Bilstein and drive great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. My 2500 DMAX CC Bilsteins boots up My 1500 6.2 CC boots down Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Oh NO NO NO! 6.2’s are NOT Flex Fuel compatible Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I know, ha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Yes, i did hear that it can vary ok but it only safe to use in flex fuel motors. Wish I could use it on my new 6.2 ha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  21. I called a Valero in Conroe, asked what the octane was on the E85, lady said 85. Is that true? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. So what happens when there’s NO E85 anywhere when on road trip? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. What ever you do, DO NOT BUY FROM SUMMIT RACING! My customer experience was horrendous! My first order was great, second order was delayed even when told should be there in a couple days especially when coming from same state, 3 hour drive from where I live and processed 11 hours after transaction making it a 4 day delivery! Customer service was extremely rude, BUY LOCAL! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Absolutely correct, I change mine using only Mobile One oil and filter every 4-5K. My first oil change was 1K, second was 2500, third (just yesterday) was at 7K. My rear ended was changed out at 5K with Amsoil. I have a couple buddies that buzz around me when I’m selling trying to get me to sell them my trucks cause I maintain them very well. You’ll have a very dependable vehicle if you maintain them before manufacturers recommendation especially making sure you use a top notch oil filter like Mobile One.
