GM will not recal the computer for larger than stock. You will have to get a custom tune or god forbid a programmer to do that

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

With such a small difference in tire size, does it really matter? Is there any benefit to it?

His statement is incorrect. GM WILL re-calibrate it but they wont do anything for your particular size yet. The only size they've done right now is 35-36"

 

Only thing is a piece of mind, as long as you're aware you're actual speed is higher that displayed you're fine.

 

Programmer will void warranty even for just tire size because they can not tell a difference between different tunes, just logs as a change. Before anyone says it; GM can't technically void a warranty like that but good luck fighting them for it.

Thanks for the info! I think I will be better off just leaving well enough alone!!

Just ask your dealer periodically if they can fix it for you. As of now there shouldn't be anything

A GPS or smartphone will tell you how fast you're going compared to what the speedometer says, then you can adjust accordingly.

I am looking to change the stance of my 2014 silverado 4x4 and have been doing a lot of reading on the topic. I have a few questions I am hoping you all can help me with before I place my order.

 

1) I plan on going with the rough country 2.5 leveling + 1 rear. I park in a parking ramp at work with 7' max clearance will my truck still fit with ease?

 

2) I plan on putting on 20" wheels with +18 offset. For tires I want Nitto Terra Grapplers I am debating on going with either 305/55/r20 P rated tires or 275/65/r20 LT rated tires.

A) Will either of these fit with no rubbing once so ever even at full lock?

B) Which option would give me better ride quality?

C) Which option would give me better mpg?

 

I appreciate everyone's help!

1) with ease..? It will be close I think. I just went in a 8'6 structure today and seemed to be enough room with a 2.5" only Front level. Maybe someone with a RC Kit can get a measurement

2)IF it were nMe I would go with the 305s cause your speedo wont be off as much and the trans will be happier selecting gears

A) seems people with 305s and stockers, rub the front sway but with +18 it would prob clear that but then could possibly make contact with the fender linners.

B) both LT should ride the same. youll Notice the level more

C) thats a toss up since 305s are wider so they have a higher rolling resistance but the 275s are an inch taller but thinner for a lower rolling resistance. It'll come down to weight vs rolling resistance IMO so no real #s to compare. I'd pick which ever ones look better to ya.

Was this on stock tires? If so, can you get me a picture from further away. I'm trying to decide if I like it with the stock tires or if I need to wait until I can afford 33's. Thanks in advance.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
