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

No rubbing on sway or control arms at all. I ran a 2" RC level in front for over a year before I moved to the bilstein 5100s. The last few months the ride was getting really rough on the spacer, plus I wanted more height front and back, and new tires because my stock GY SR-As were bald all around after 18k. Not at all saying the spacer was causing the rough ride though. Was a combination of tires, front stock shocks, etc. I was Just ready to try something new. Did 5100s all around with front on highest setting (1.88") plus added the RC .5" spacer on top of bilstein strut. In rear I removed stock 1" block and replaced it with the RC 2" block and added bilstein 5100s in rear. Then Toyo AT II Extremes 295/60/20s all around. It rides like a Cadillac now. Little bit of road noise from those tires but I love it. Nothing like an MT though.

 

I think the front 5100 bilsteins you can get for around $100 each and the rears around $80 each.

 

There is a 6112 series bilstein Shock coming out this fall I believe for the Silverado. Not out yet to my knowledge. It's a thicker bigger shock for more off-road applications is what in told. There's a bilstein shock thread in here too that covers all that stuff.

 

Hope that helps.

I have the 2" rough country for my '15 z71 and have no issues.

It's affordable and looks good installed on these trucks too. Going with that one would be a good way to go.

My first post here on the forums.

 

This is my 2016 GMC All Terrain. It has a Traxda 2.5" leveling kit and 275/60R20 BFG AT KO2's. I think it sits pretty much perfectly.

What is everybody still under factory warranty doing to calibrate speedo? Just clearing programmer or tune before you have service? Anybody had truck serviced with a tune on and been given any flack? Getting tires tomorrow and want my speedo to be correct but don't want to void the warranty because of the tuner or tune...

I read somewhere that with 33" tires the speedo is only off by like 3mph at ~70 mph so I haven't done anything. I don't think you can recalibrate it without a tune...

Yea that's true. the 275/65 knock it off around 5mph at 75mph. I dunno I guess I just want my digital speedo to be accurate on a brand new truck and I'm a little OCD with vehicles. But you can't have your cake and eat it to apparently. Really should have asked if the dealer can tell if you had a tune or tuner and then cleared it before you went up there?

Oh absolutely I'm the same way, once I realized it would cost at least 300$ plus voiding the warranty I didn't even consider it. It might be worth it for someone that does a lot of highway driving but not me. You'd think at this day in age the computer would self adjust :ninja:

      Conditions for Meeting a Cold Start   The ignition voltage is between 10 and 15 V. The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) at start-up is less than 42°C (108°F). The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 2–32°C (36–90°F). The engine is OFF for greater than 6 hours or the following conditions must be met: The start-up IAT minus start-up ECT are within 12°C (22°F). The start-up ECT minus start-up IAT are within 50°C (90°F). Fuel level is between 25 and 75 %.   Circuit/System Verification Verify that all I/M System Status indicators report YES, and that no I/M Test DTCs are present.If any I/M Test DTCs are set Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. If no I/M Test DTCs are set All OK. Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Set Procedure   Warning: Refer to Road Test Warning. Note: Do NOT touch the accelerator pedal until told to do so. A change in TP Sensor angle or an increase in engine speed may invalidate this portion of the test.   Note: An I/M Test DTC will not be stored or erased from the ECU except at the end of trip processing, which occurs 5 s after ignition OFF.   Ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start listed above. If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, perform the EVAP Service bay test if applicable. Turn OFF all of the accessories; HVAC system, other electrical loads, including aftermarket/add-on equipment, etc., and open the hood.   Set the vehicle parking brake and ensure the vehicle is in park for automatic transmission or neutral for manual transmission.   Start and idle the engine for 2 min.   Close the hood, release the parking brake and Accelerate at part throttle to 72–80 km/h (45–50 mph) with this speed maintained until the engine reaches operating temperature, 8–10 min.   Continue operation under these conditions for an additional 6 min.   Accelerate at part throttle to 90 km/h (55 mph) with this speed maintained for 2 min.   Release the accelerator pedal for at least 10 s. This will allow the vehicle to enter the decel fuel cut off.   Safely stop the vehicle, with the engine in drive for automatic or neutral with the clutch pedal depressed and parking brake applied for manual. Allow the vehicle to idle for 2 min.   Shift the vehicle to park for automatic and neutral for manual. Turn OFF the ignition and exit the vehicle. Do NOT disturb the vehicle for 45 min.   Observe the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Status with a scan tool. All of the I/M System Status indicators should display YES.   If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, turn OFF the ignition, ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start, and repeat steps 6-11 three more times, or until the EVAP I/M System Status indicator transitions to YES. If the indicator continues to display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table to identify the DTCs that did not run.   If any of the I/M System Status indicators display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table for the indicator which did not display YES. The I/M System DTC Table identifies the DTCs associated with each I/M System Status Indicator.   Observe the I/M Test DTC information with a scan tool. Verify there are no I/M Test DTCs present. If an I/M Test DTC is set, diagnose the DTC using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle and refer to Inspection/Maintenance System Check.   Observe the engine DTC information with a scan tool. Verify no DTCs are present. If a DTC is set, diagnose using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. After repairs, perform the Inspection/Maintenance Complete System Set Procedure to verify no further DTCs are set.       Looks like one procedure to me.  Repeated as necessary.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By calgator73 · Posted

      My 2020 AT4 6.2 has had the valve spring issue addressed at ~200 miles, front cover/pump replaced at 18k, water pump at 34k and idler pully at 65k.  I would agree with ditching by 100k unless you elect to go with upgraded hardware...say built 10l80 and an lt4 or l8p swap.

      You might find the drive cycle you need somewhere on charm.li (website), otherwise I suggest a subscription to alldata.com to get them for your truck.
