Hey everyone i just had a few questions:

 

With raising the front using a leveling kit, would 285/55/22 Nitto Terra Grapplers kit with some minor cutting? i dunno if anyone has tried but i like the look a little better than 285/50/22

 

I was thinking of ordering some Baccarat Phangs that are 22x9.5, and i wanted to know if that rim worked alright with the 285/50/22 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I was looking up the specs and 9.5 rim widths weren't listed. Also, which offset would you recommend 18 or 30?

 

thanks!

oh ya...you could fit a 33 inch tire in there...with a leveling kit no problem. i would go with 18 offset at least a 4.5 inch backspace man. or youll get rubbing on the upper control arm...the only other comment i have for you is dont buy nitto's :dunno: i had some mud grapplers and they were JUNK JUNK JUNK...way over priced and i had bead leaks all the time on stock rims they were a pain in the A$$ just food for thought on those tires...

Thanks for the advice! what tires would you recommend for the rims? i like the look of all terrains, and like some side. but any advice on cheaper tires with roughly the same size and look would be greatly appreciated

well to be honest pretty much anthing will be cheaper than the nittos, the cheapest would be BFG AT KO's, they are an alright tire...im runnin dick cepek FC-2's rights now i love them, for 305/60-18's i got them for 375 mount and balanced a tire. a little cheaper than the nittos eh? ahaha...mickey thompson ATZ's are really nice, Cooper Discoverer AT's, Toyo's, and dick cepek's are the tires i would recomend...i also had a set or 33x12.5 r16 pro comp all terrains i liked them they were okay buuuut probly wouldnt buy them again. on 20 inch rim man, those mickey thompsons would look niiiice. check them out...keep in mind my price was canadian figures too eh if you live in the states probly cheaper....and also keep in mind the mickeys, coopers and dick's are all made by cooper tire...good qualitie tires dude...you wouldnt be dissapointed with any of the three...

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
