so much for wanting to get it cleaned up and take some pics .... go to the car wash and it scratches the **** out of my truck :mad:

 

owner of the place says "well thats not possible, my car wash doesnt scratch. Im not coming there tonight, we can discuss it tomorrow. I'll send one of my employees to take a look"

 

 

 

 

I opted to run thru the wash for a quick fix tonight, when all along the plan was to wash it myself tomorrow like I always do. So pissed right now

 

I know how u feel. Just bought a truck 2 weeks ago and the car wash here scratched my truck. Also carved up my door handle too.

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.

Has anyone installed the Rancho quick lift shocks? Looks to be a decent alternative. I don't want to loose any ride quality with a spacer levelling kit after bouncing down the road in 3/4 tons.

I just put on the Ranchos all the way around on my 2015 max tow Sierra. It raised it about 2" in the front, maybe 1.8 on the passenger side but that side was higher to begin with. They are not softer than the stock shocks but about the same when set to the softest setting.

So it was the quick lift shocks? Happen to have any pics you care to post?

I wanted to thank everyone for all of the posts. With your help I decided on the RC 2.5 and Cooper AT3 275/65/20. Made a huge difference in the way the truck looks. Sucks to buy a new truck and have to spend money to make it look like a truck. Thanks again for the feedback and a great place to do research.

Are you getting any mechanical rub with these? Also, how much of a MPG hit did you take? I was looking to get these with just a 2in front RC level

Yes it was the Quick lift shocks. I don't have any pics but it looks just like all the other leveled trucks. I think if the front were any higher it would be nose high IMO.

Any rubbing at all on this setup? What backspacing do you have?

I have a slight rub at full turn in reverse but that's it. I was just waiting for the Bilstien 5100's to become available and do a few adjustments that way. The wheels are 20x9 with a 0 offset. It should be a 5" backspacing.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
