I'm new to the site and forum. Working on a new project, I spent probably 8 hours looking threw all the awesome trucks on this site before I asked any questions. I'm not going as big this time it seems like the 2.5" lifts have a bunch of different tire sizes and off sets. I'd like to stay with the OEM Denali wheels (20x9 +27 offset or 6.06 back spacing) I'd like to go with the RC 3.5" suspension lift I've already posted. I'm hoping for some help on a tire size for this combo. The new Nitto Ridge Grapplers look pretty sweet but there limited on sizes. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it!!!!! Thanks

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.

How wide do you want to go?

And how tall?

You should be pretty close to being able to fit a pretty large tire in there if you trim the fender liner.

I'm soon putting on a 2" level on my 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT. I'm going to go with 285/55/20. Now I'm just trying to decide on which tire.

 

1. BF Goodrich A/T KO2

or

2. Nitto Terra Grappler G2

 

I'm here in Texas, only off-road I will be doing is rarely in the sand on the beach but it's essentially a mute point as either tire will do the trick. Mostly city/highway. Any pros/cons on determining which tire to go with? Or more of a look? Price is $90.00 more total for Nitto, so I am not concerned about the money. Ideally safety in rain,ride quality, sound, etc is what I am looking for.

 

Thanks!

Newby question, want to lift truck for some 305' on 20" stock wheels.

I own a 2016 2wd SLT crew.... don't think I need anything in back, but don't want rubbing in front, what do you suggest?

Sorry over 200 pgs to scan through

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2

I liked the look a little better, had good success years ago with BFG. Figured both were good. My main tire shop (Discount Tire Co.) both had service guys tell me the BFG seems like better tire. Less problems they see. Who know....

 

2" level kit being installed tomorrow, and 285/55/20 BFG on Wednesday! Can't wait.

I'm thinking up to a 34" and maybe 12" or less wide. My only concern is the stock Denali wheels with a -27 on the offset. I was hoping someone might have tried this set up. There's lots of tire options to choose from, I'm trying to fill the wheel well with the tire and not get super tall with the body. Thanks for the feedback

Could go with a 275/65/20

I know there are quite a few people on here running those with no issues.

275/65 are 34x11. Stock wheels are +27 btw. Big difference in - and + offset.

Ya I seen I put -27 instead of +27 after I typed it. I know all of the tire sizes but I'm guessing no one has tried the set up I'm wanting to try to know what tire size will fit with that +27 offset and a 3.5" RC lift? I think I'm going to try 295x60Rx20's and see what happens.

They'll fit. I'm running them on a 2.5" level with no rubbing on stock +27 High Country rims.

Awesome!!!! Thx I'd love to see a pic of your truck. I'm hoping to get a good look out of this truck and not be as high as my last truck in my profile picture. It was a 7" lift and 35" Mickey Thompson Baja Claws. Thanks again!!!

Thank you!!! You truck looks sweet it's exactly the look I want not to high but definitely not stock. I might try the new Nitto Ridge Grapplers when they're available and come out with the deminsions of the 20's so I know the exact size.

      AFM Experience

      By KARNUT · Posted

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.
