Hey guys, just bought a Chevrolet Silverado LT Z71 5.3L. It has the 3.73 rear end with locker, going to be a daily/hauler truck. Just put a new set of BF Goodrich All Terrains, and had it detailed. I traded in my 2008 Subaru Impreza just last week and i haven't looked back yet! :thumbs: Just wondering what psi to run in those tires, stock size. Just trying to get a even wear. And i'm also looking for back rack/wheel chocks for the bed. But enough jibber jabber here's the beauty, and the 2 beasts!

 

out with the old

In with the new!

Welcome, there are lots of us here; who own GM trucks and ride bikes to... I have have 06 GSXR 1000 and 01 CBRf4i and I used to own a Yamaha Blaster, Yamaha Banshee and a older YZ. I'm starting to get back into dirt bike riding so I'm going to get me a nice slightly older 2 stroke CR, RM, YZ, or KX 250. I like the 4 stroke 250's and 450's but I can rebuild the 2 strokers much easier and for much cheaper...

yup, usually if you have a truck ride some sort of off road toy. 2 strokes are also lighter. And if your looking for a woods/mx bike look for a YZ250. Tractor like torque and still has the big hit on the pipe! Also dead reliable and cheap to fix etc. I've had a lot of bikes over the past 4-5 years. Just finally settled on a combination that works for me! Nice truck too!

Yeah I'm more into MX than trail riding and I know how to break down the top end and bottom end of 2 strokes with ease, know how to adjust the carbs such adjust the floats, jets etc..

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
