Just got my 2014 silverado 1500 LT. Sorry for the noob question, but I want to order the RC 2" level kit. Is it obvious which strut I have, Aluminum or Steel? I have never done one before

 

Thanks...

 

Steel is black and aluminum is the natural color silver grayish. I just used a magnet though, steel it sticks and aluminum it won't.

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.

2014 Sierra SLT

2.25" Readylift

Switched out the 20" chrome wheels for the 22" CK164. Wanted the black inserts but found a good deal on a set with the chrome. Took a shot at plastidipping them (inserts) this weekend. They turned out great. Hopefully they will hold up. Think I'm gonna keep the 285/45's for a while before moving up in tire size.

^ Agreed, more pics.

 

I was just looking at a new Yukon Denali this weekend with these wheels and it got me thinking......

No rub on 295/55/20..... 305s will rub.

So I'm running 305 50 20 with +18 offset. No rub at all with 2" rc leveling kit. I would like a taller tire. So r u saying I'll have to go 295 55 instead 305 55 20?

Yes 305/55/20 rub. We did a test run on 33/12.50.20 and they rubbed bad. 305s had a little rub at full lock. I am running the 295/55/20 with +14 offset. When the tires are set next to each other they are so close in size.

Here's a few more. Really wasn't able to take a pic that shows just how good these wheels look on the truck. These pics don't do them justice unfortunately.

Looks great! If I wasnt going with larger and wider tires, I would definitely go with these rims. Have been a fan of them since I saw them on a truck at the dealership whe looking for my truck. Almost got them when I got my truck

      Castrol Edge VS Amsoil OE

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I use Amsoil's OE line of motor oil (5W20) in our 19 Hyundai Santa Fe. I noticed today on the web site it now says (47% more wear protection1 than required by the GM dexos1 Gen 2 specification). Maybe I  missed it but I don't think so.

      Subtle vibration, can of worms opened.

      By Sparky176 · Posted

      Truck in fluid changes and investigate subtle shudder at cruising speeds.  Told them it felt like my ‘14’s shudder when AFM kicked in.   Dealer #1 :  You need a new torque converter.   6 weeks later, after causing other damages to my truck, I get the truck back.  Same shudder exists. New, more violent shifts and vibrations at low speed.  After choice words and a few more weeks of waiting for them to replace my running boards supports, I move on to another Dealer.   Dealer #2:  The cruising speed shudder is DFM.  (I didn’t realize truck had it.) The TCM/ECM needs updates.  Updates will solve all vibration issues.   They perform updates, truck seemed ok in lot.  Not a mile down the road, SERVICE BRAKE PAD MONITOR. Dealer #1 stated brakes were at 4mm.   took truck back to Dealer #2, rear brakes at 2mm and less than 1mm.     New pads/rotors on rear, new pads up front.   truck seems good. Toggle through menus, brake monitor system is disabled.  Huh?  Why? Turn that sucker on : SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM!     will not reset manually, automatically, or even after pulling negative bat cable for 30min.     Could the TCM/ECM updates the culprit?    A torque converter diagnosis for a “normal” shudder and now I’m thousands in the hole and the truck still isn’t right!  Beyond pissed.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.
