I know it has been discussed on here in other posts that it is ill-advised to stack leveling kits. i was at the gas station today and a sharp looking crew cab chevy pulled up across the way and it looked like it was riding high. the tires were 35x12.50R20 couragia m/ts and i asked the owner how he was able to fit them. he put a rough country type lower spacer on as well as a spacer on top and then blocks in the back. it looked badass but i would hate to see that thing tackle any kind of off-camber trail driving.

I doubt he "fit" them very good. And im sure his suspension rides like shit and will wear prematurely if it hasnt already. I have those tires in that size and they are great! I love them, they are very aggressive and work well in the mud. Good styling too.

yeah it looked like he would have no problems as long as he kept it on the pavement but once that thing hit dirt he would in trouble.

that ride has to be awful...and i hear nothing but bad things about those tires..

 

Ive been running them since late winter/early spring with no issues, wearing well too, still look new. Ive read online about people saying the sidewalls split, but it hasnt happend to me yet. Then again they are on a 1500 chevy, and I dont tow. Heaviest thing that goes in the truck is a coupe dirtbikes.

Some people will do anything to "fit" a tire on their nice new truck. Even if it means hacking up the fenders and destroying the front end.

Watch them VERY VERY carefully. I had them on my old truck (1500). Heaviest thing I towed was a 4-wheeler. Everything was fine with the tires. No sidewall splits or anything. I had about 12,000-14,000 miles on them. Riding home on the interstate at 75 and had the back tire separated. Within the next month my buddy had his back 2 separate while driving, and so did my dad.

 

Just be careful with those tires.... They are an accident waiting to happen.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
