This is my first post on this forum, so yes I am a rookie...be kind...you were all rookies once as well.  Here is the question.  I would like to know what ya'll prefer: 16X8 or 16X10 rims??? I have a 00 Z71 with 295/75/16 BFG ATs on the stock 16X6.5 rims now, with the torsion bars raised to the safest limit possible. In the future I would like to install a Rancho 4" lift.  For now I want to keep the 295's until they wear out.  But I am having an tough time of decision making on whether to buy Weld StoneCrushers in 8's or 10's.. I kind of am leaning to the 10's, because after the lift, I have the option to run larger tires.  I have seen many trucks with 16x10s and 295's without any lifts, and they look awesome, but I would still like to get more clearence off road. Any advice or help is much appreciated.

I would go with the 10s. The wider stance will help off set the higher center of gravity caused by the lift. Then again maybe I've owned too many Pontiacs and can't get "wider is better" out of my head! Personally, I think wider rims look better.

I agree, once you get up there past 4" you'll want something a bit wider than stock.  IMO, a 10" rim is a good width to go with.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      My take: I don't think seeing up to 200k on the odometer of any of these engines/trucks (2014-to present) is surprising. (Excluding the known DEFECTS, specifically, the 6.2 main/connecting rod bearing issues, the defective lifters, alternatively parts that a recall was issued for - I think there were three.)   250K is my line in the sand, anything over that is 'surprising', but not limited to the engine making it that far but including the truck surrounding it too. (We've talked about this in other posts, why I think the engine isn't the deciding factor for ultimate mileage.)

      I included the first gen-cylinder de-activation (active fuel management) in my statement.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
