Some places give you a higher rate when they think you have no idea what it should cost to do certain things in automotive. This has been a trend and done to female almost all the time.

 

So your saying charging a female more isn't ripping someone off? I wasn't aware that someone paying more is justified by their gender of scale of knowledge.

I always shop around when purchasing something, be it tangible items or service work. But then again cheapest isn't always best.

 

You must know learn as much as you can to verify a cost of an item or service work... the internet is your friend.

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.

Toyo Mts and 75 a poor 13-14 mpg. Everything is in a flat line here so there may be a few downshifting but nothing much. I did a little road trip with my oems. And was getting 19/21 at 75mph. Muds are a little sticky lol. I still love the look!!!!!!!0ec20b86cae5d0615586857d8b2585c0.jpg

Ouch i wonder if calibrating the speedometer would help? I have planned 295/55/20 Toyo MTs or Trail Graps :( My cousin with 295/70/17 Toyo MTs is getting around 15-17 mpg highway going 75-80mph on an 09 Sierra with a blackbear tune.

 

Your truck does look phenomenal!

I have a 2014, I think he was talking about the brown caps above the strut that go on the strut bolts on the top of the tower

Thanks! I am running same tires 295/55/20 Toyo mt. Even at best going 65mph I only get 14/15 ish.

The 295/55/20 toyo mt are 72 pounds each and the 295/55/20 toyo at2 are 60 pounds each, I'm planning on going with the at2 hopefully the 48 pounds less of rolling mass will help with the mpg.

If they get the RTs in 295/55/20 that's what i'll likely go with, less i can catch a deal on MTs or some trail graps.

Well at my rate of 3500 miles every two months I'll be ready for a new set in no time. I had my tires rotated today and the guy did a test ride on the RT tires and the guy was impressed. Hoping Toyo gets their act together. I wanted the Toyo at2 and no one had them but one dealer another state away and they wanted more then the MT'S because they knew people needed them.

Is there any downside to getting the 2.5 kit and doing a front only level? Because it looks phenomenal. My plan is a 2.5" RC kit, Toyo Open Country RT 33X12.5X20, replacement bumpers, and some other things but i love the look of your truck. Also what tint did you get?

I am replying to a old post that I just caught one. I only did the 2.5 front from rough country and love it. Lmk about the rts. Cuz they are on my radar for my next set. They don't make them in a 295 just yet and I read 33x12.5x20 rub and tug. I have a tint guy in az that did mt work. Limo in back and 20% up front I believe. I pulled all the logos and painted the front gmc black .

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
