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

      Gas Prices

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
