Funny, people that don't race cars assume that Brembo brakes are the shit. Then people with cars that come with oem brembo brakes think they are adequate/great. Then people who race cars know that oem brembo brakes are usually junk.

 

Point being that anything that is oem isn't going to be a premium product. Even though they have better products to sell. So rancho shocks "suck" but the only people that complain out of the hundreds of thousands of trucks sold with them are a handful on enthusiast websites...

 

Statically i would say that you're in the minority by saying they suck even if they could be better.

Looking for suggestions on rubber. Currently happy with the nitto Terra grapplers, looking for something a little more aggressive looking, but not wanting full on mud terrains rumbling down the highway at 80.

Someone suggested toyo rt's, any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Have you considered the BFG KO2's??

I had no issues with the rancho shocks on my 16' denaliHd. No ride issues here either. And they were sadly removed when the 12" lift went on. Lol

I've had the RTs on my truck since May and have ran them in dirt, rocks, mud and sand. Love them. Great on road too. Looking forward to running them in the snow soon to see how they are there.

My 2012 GT500 had the SVTPP which included Brembo brakes. They were great for your basic street driving and the occasional hard breaking. So for me I loved them but I didn't like the brake fad from the rubber brake lines. But any of the serious track and drag strip guys went to braided lines and calipers with more pistons. It's a shame sports cars don't come with Baer brakes or Wilwood stock. Brembo's are nice but I want 6 piston fronts and 4 piston reads.

I haven't had the time or opportunity to get mine off road much, but really looking forward to it. So far I'm very pleased.

Funny I would say the same thing about your post.

Ok well for one that makes zero sense, for two I wasn't calling him ignorant I was referencing the fact that he said the majority of ppl probably don't complain about rancho shocks on their trucks. He's probably right, because most ppl either aren't big enthusiasts like he said or don't know any better... hence my what I said. Good try at being cute tho.

I have 4" of lift and 33" tires. I'm running a -12 offset with Bushwacker fender flares

No rubbing issues at all. Less offset and you could fit a larger tire but with the -12 and flares it looks good. Only thing I wish I would have done different was get m/t instead of a/t

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
