I'm looking into getting a 2.5 rc level and 275/65/20s for my 2014 silverado 4x2. Has anyone done this? I know the 2wd's sit about a half inch lower than the 4wd's so im a little worried about having enough clearance for the tires. My truck measures 38" from the ground to the wheel well in back and 35.5" in front.

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.

Ok guys I'm about to pull the trigger here shortly I need some help. I'm going to run the icon vehicle dynamic stage 2 suspension it states 5" back spacing max so I figured run the fuel maverick +1 offset that has a 5" back space. I want to run the nitro Terra grapplers I really don't want to go crazy on the size would rather not have to cut or modify anything. What size tires do you guys think? 275/60/r20, 285/55/r20 or something different?

 

I really like the look of this truck.

I read an earlier post that someone had installed 275/60/20 tires on stock wheels of a 2014 Silverado or Sierra 4x4 without a leveling kit and they did not rub. My brother has a 2014 High Country 4x4 w 275/60/20 Michelin AT's on stock ride height and they don't rub either. I'm sure this would be the largest tire size one could install w/o some sort of lift. Anyway, the stock 4x4 trucks are already 1" higher in the front compared to a stock 4x2 truck. Must be that added 1" of ride height that allows this size tire to run w/o any rubbing.

 

I just bought a new 2014 High Country 4x4 short box and considering 275/60/20 when the stock tire wear. In lieu of a leveling kit, what other options are there? Someone had mentioned Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks. Are these available yet for the 2014's? If not, are there other adjustable shocks available for this purpose?

 

Thanks...

Also, I talked to a technical sales guy named Brian over at Bilstein today at their NC facility about availability of the height adjustable 5100 shocks for the GM 1500 pick up trucks. He said that they should release by mid to late October 2014. He expressed that they were just doing some final product tuning before release to the market.

 

He said that a press release would come first to Facebook and the Mass Media. I'm looking forward to getting a set.

It looks like they did some custom work on the grille. Maybe they did a 2" front level as well... :cheers:

Looks like a Rally Edition. Wheels and stripes, painted grille surround. Do they level those via front lift or rear drop?

That's a Factory setup with the Rally II Package......brand new 3 miles. It didn't come home with me as the title hasn't made it to the dealer yet. It's the first one they have ever received. In fact all the press releases on the new Rally II package say it doesn't come out till tomorrow :)

 

That's what I was thinking two minutes too late... Great looking setup though. and the gap between the wheels and fenders look it is not leveled. Could be the angle though. Do the Rally's come with any leveling modification?

This is the GM stock photo of the Rally Edition. If you look at the fender gaps front and rear, it doesn't look leveled, but the white Rally Edition pictured above definitely looks like it has a front level... ????

Rigid had mounts for LED fogs for the GMC's? I hadn't seen those? Do you have a link by any chance?

The rake doesn't look as extreme as others but definitely does not look level to me.

I agree after looking at it more closely. I'll have to measure it when I pick it up.

 

I'm thinking from the looks of the picture its about half of what the regular stock ones are

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
