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.

A GPS or smartphone will tell you how fast you're going compared to what the speedometer says, then you can adjust accordingly.

Sorry for a reply to an old post but I have a follow up that I haven't seen an answer for.

If larger tires affect the speedometer, what else is impacted? What about the odometer? What about economy readings, etc?

 

Thanks

2.5" RC Full Level

20x10 -24 Fuel Nutz

Only a very, and I mean very slight rub at full right lock in reverse. It's so minor, I'm not even going to bother with it.

Nice! What did you use to black out the headlight surround and the grille? I dig all the black.

Thanks! I used plasti dip. It is about 5-10 footer right now but if you get close, you can see some chips. Eventually, I want to have the bumpers, grille, and headlight surrounds painted.

I recently got back into a Sierra. Bought a 16 SLT a couple weeks ago and had the Bilstein 5100's installed. Still has a slight rake but not enough to complain about. Think it looks pretty good. I can't rave enough about the ride!

I was thinking of having mine painted as well... but I think i may get someone to do a vinyl wrap instead, so I dont have to mess with removing the chrome.

My emblems are plastidipped currently and from a few feet you can't tell the difference.

Have you driven them in the rain yet? Worst tires ever in the rain.

What kind of mpg are you guys seeing with the leveling kits and 33" a/t or similar tires?

You are going to get 40 different answers. Some people claim 20+ mpg and I never got that with my truck stock. I get about 17-18 mpg with 32s, a level, and no front air dam.

Oh ya I know that, I'm just trying to get a feel. I have filled my truck twice and both times it was 12.5-12.8 with a little of everything in there from 10-20 mph gravel roads to 80 mph freeway driving. Regardless of what I drove I thought that seemed low and expected a little more

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
