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

Got mine taken care of this weekend.  275/60/20 Ridge Grapplers and a 2" RC leveling kit.

I think I'm going to pick up some vinyl and black out the emblems, get an exhaust put on, and get a tonneau cover, and that's pretty much it.  I'm really happy with the truck overall and can't see getting rid of it any time soon.

This makes me wonder if my 275/65/20 tires will work with a level.  They are the same width...just a little taller.

  The 275/65-20 is a full inch more diameter than the 275/60-20.  That is not "just a little taller."  When dealing with these trucks and levelling kits, that's ALOT taller.

:) Ok I can agree with that.  But the rubbing is only with wider tires right?  Not taller.

 

As of right now I have 0 rubbing on my 2018 Sierra Max Tow

Just had the Nitto Ridge Grappler 275/60/20XL done on my 17 Sierra. Love the ride, just need to figure out the correct tire pressure. Any recommendations?

Thanks, I did the chalk test yesterday and 37psi seems to be the sweet spot on mine.

I did a 3inch front 2 inch rear and i also did a diff drop as well to alleviate some of the increase angle on the cv joint , i didnt notice any ride quality change but def do a front end alignment!!!

Have you picked out wheels and tire?

Give you some advice, didn’t notice whether it’s a 15 and up but mid 15 the dreaded new stamped UCA’s came to be and I myself had serious issues leveling, adding 275/60/20’s with horrible rubbing. Pick out your tires first and see if they rub and go from there before you invest in wheels too. This way, you’ll know the offset required to clear in the event it rubs.

Good advice but I have 22's with the ultimate Denali package and want to go to 17" wheels...  I figure I will follow your lead and get 285/70-17 KO2s on 17x9 Pro Comps.  If they rub, you can pay me for new tires.

 

BTW I can't find "17x9 et -6 Pro Comps" on their website - this is the closest I found = SERIES 5045, 17X9 WITH 6 ON 5.5 BOLT PATTERN - SATIN BLACK. Is that the right wheel?

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      No, I did not tune out vvt. From what I read it should still be able to run without it, it'll just lose some torque/power.    I can see how that would make it not run correctly, but why would that cause the faulty MAF readings?   EDIT: I just ran a quick test and checked, and as I expected, the computer sees that the VVT cam phaser solenoid is not present, and throws a code for it, and does not try to change the cam angle at all. Commanded position just remains at zero, 100% of the time. This makes me think that the VVT is most likely not the cause of the problem though if anyone has a different/better explanation, I'm all ears.   UPDATE: I was able to find that my scan tool does indeed support reading the frequency (hz) off of the MAF (I thought it wasn't supported but turns out I just didn't know where to look for it). I noticed that regardless of engine state it always however this Is not what I observed with my multimeter. Like I said before, the MAF seems to put out a normal signal during cranking and then the signal drops to a very erratic reading once the engine is running. It seems from what my scan tool is telling me that the ECM is not recognizing this at all, and just reads 0 Hz 100% of the time. This pushes me towards the the PCM itself is faulty. I I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle, which I may try to connect and program (it's only ~50 bucks to get the software for a one-time programming)

      Did you tune out the VVT?  07-09 they did not have VVT.  2010-2013 they did.      If you haven't tuned it, its trying to adjust cam timing.
