I'm gonna take it to my exhaust guy and have him cut them back and then keep this muffler with dual outs and dump it right past the axle and have the tips stick out enough to see them. Probably keep them cleaner a lot longer too, the tips that is

I feel dumbfounded I never looked up under the back of my truck until now I just assumed it had 2 inch blocks because my 06 did, I feel slightly cheated. I guess it's time to add some 2 inch blocks to make me feel better.

You guys know anything from personal experience with federal couragia m/t tires? 35x12.5r18?

I have read all sorts of reviews and people say the sidewalls crack and dry rot but when I talk to people personally they say the have no problems with them. So I'm getting mixed reviews...

You looking specifically for mud terrain tires? Cause my all terrain dick cepek fc2's are great. They grip good on the road and aren't terrible off road, obviously there are better. Actually pretty quiet for the most part and wear really well if you keep them rotated (also helps with noise like any tire). Have about 25-30k on them and they still look like they have at least half tread if not more. Have also done a handful of burnouts with them lol

I am looking for anything at this point. Right now, I may be sticking with my level kit and 285/65/18 nitto trail grapplers. How much did those run you if you don't mind me asking? If I can find a good 33x12.5R18 tire then I would run that with the 2.5 level with 2" rear block (if it fits) haha. Some say it does with trimming. But for now I'm looking at tires between 33-35 inch tires. Sorry the message is all over the place

For 35x12.5r17 I think I paid like 390 a tire. Bit expensive but met and live up to all my expectations so far. I'm not off roading much so it does what it needs to do. I would stick with your tires you have now until they wear out cause you may want to lift it more and want bigger tires like I did lol

I've had good performance out of my nitto mud grapplers, I've got the 35/12.50/20 and they average around $400 each can probably pick the 33's on the 18's fairly decent, so far they've done good on dirt, snow, wet roads, and dry roads but are a little noisy, but that's just my 2 cents

My tires are pretty much bare and cracked all along the side walls so its time for some new ones. And yea I know I absolutely want a 6" lift with 35's but I am not sure if this is the truck I want to do it to. I'm still in college so I got a lot of life ahead of me for a big ole truck. I have been going through that conscience battle though about lift and tire size.haha

 

 

And Brandon I really like nitto's whole line of tires, never ran any of them myself but from the looks of it they are very durable tires with great performance reviews. I'm most likely going with the trail grappler buy I am still keeping an eye out for other tires til June when I go to purchase

If you pick something stick with it. I can never commit. I get bored with the look of mine every 6 months or so and. Change it. Next step is to do a 2/4 drop from stock

That can get rather expensive, you must have deep pockets.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
