If those XD Buck wheels had come in 18, I would have put them on my Pepperdust truck.

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

Finally got some new tires after leveling. LT275/70/17 Mickey Thompson Deegan 38s.

 

Only pic I have on the phone right now. Top was original, middle is how it sits now, bottom was a little photoshop. Going to get tint next and I might paint the wheels a gunmetal color and wanted to see how it looked. Color match bumper would be nice too but my wife isn't going to sign off on that.

You can do plasti dip on the wheels to see if you like it. If you hate it you can peel it off easy as long as you do 5-6 coats.

 

You can leave the tires on the rims and leave the rims on the truck, just be sure to cover the brakes and rotors. The dip please off tires like nothing so you don't need to worry about over spray.

 

I have to redo my rims on my hummer. I tried using peel away but it didn't even last the year...

I got it leveled on Friday. Thanks everyone for all the help while I searched for the setup I wanted. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Here's a before and after.

WoW! Great job bud... What is a huge difference between the before and after... The wheel and tire set up is perfect... Can we get more info and closer pics on them..

This is all I have at the moment.

Like you, I think the 285s look "OK" on these trucks, but not great. The more I look at this setup, the more I like it.

 

Can I get some more pictures? I'm especially interested in some pictures of someone holding the steering at full lock, and seeing the clearance around the tire (front, rear, UCA and Swaybar).

Figured I'd throw up a few pics of my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 dbl cab with level lift, 20x9s, and 33x12.5 toyo r/t tires. Reused the ready lift 2.25 from my 2014 silverado on this so I could buy the wheels and tires I wanted now. Plan on bumping up to a 4" lift in the next 6 months or so.

What are you fender height measurements? I am running the same level yet I still have approximately 1.5" difference in height from front to rear

Here's my '17 with a 2.5" front Motofab and a 3" block in the rear. Got a good little rake to it but damn it looks good!

Got the 2" RC level and new 285/65R20 BFG KO2's this weekend. Rubbed a little of the fender well at first but a zip tie on each side fixed it no problem. Thought about going with the 275's just to be safe but glad I jumped in and got the 285's.

I love this setup. Looks beefy, and there is zero rubbing or trimming, even in reverse at an angle. Ive been meaning to snap more pics, and I am also curious to see the actual clearance I do have, so Ill get that done tomorrow. Been busy with a new job so Ive been swamped!

I've had them on for about 2 weeks and I have enjoyed them. Seem to do really well with all the rain we've been getting here.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      Navigating senior years.

      By garagerog · Posted

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
