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

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      New tires are on, Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT's in 235/75/15. $100 per tire, after $10 AAA discount. Plus install ($100), disposal fees, and taxes.   The new tires ride nice. Catch 22, new tires, I love it again! But I feel like I've been through the wringer with this rig, and maybe I don't need this kind of headache right now. Wait until tomorrow, I'll probably love it again and keep it another week.   Never a dull moment: Got a CEL driving to the tire shop, P0172 bank 1 too rich. Oh lordy, really? I've been enjoying an emoji-free dash for too long, apparently. I popped the hood at the shop and I think there was a vacuum leak very close to the intake. Cleared the code and put a bunch of miles on it going home, code never returned. My fix was zip-tying the line on the vacuum reserve ball because the hose won't stay seated. It's either that or the fuel pressure regulator has an issue again or an injector is leaking. See why I'm getting tired of this one?!   In the gas price thread I recorded 19mpg on the last tank in fairly mixed driving and some higher-speed highway (70). I also don't have the lower engine shield installed right now, and that would help with diverting a lot of wind underneath the truck.   Not too long ago, a green '96 4-door 4x4 came up for sale with less than 1,000 actual miles. There was a story there but it was real, and the place wanted like $25k for it. Would be fun to have a NICE example of one of these, but not too nice. The joy is driving them.   That's it for a while...family and social stuff all weekend, no time to play with my Hot Wheels in the garage for the next couple of days.

      $5.19 after Kroger discount for 87 today. Moses!   Somehow I've already put 560 miles on the Blazer with the last tank clocking 19mpg.

      Oil dipstick

      By Stu Katz · Posted

      I have a 91 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 liter. My dipstick broke. Can someone tell me how long is the oil dipstick. Local Part stores do not stock the oil dipstick. If someone can tell me the length. I can match up an aftermarket one. Thank you.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Assembling a Word Puzzle   A sentence in a famous sermon says:    “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them".   Forget it was a sermon and forget its religious nature. Assemble the puzzle. What did he say? I'm only going to unravel the part underlined.... Keep it simple and out of the ditch. It's a word puzzle not a religious class. I'm not writing a book. Okay..   By saying that people conscious of that stated need will receive; the implication is that there are also people that are not conscious and thus deprived.   But this one sentence also says that ALL people have this need, not just the ones aware of it.   NEED will try to lead you to satisfying it. You're thirsty, you seek water. You're hungry, you seek nourishment. You're cold, you find cover. Lack of awareness is a choice. So when he says "conscious' he isn't saying simply aware but aware and active in satisfying that need.    That's allot of information for eight words. This man knew how to craft a sentence...   Give that some thought the next time you read an advertisement or a book.

      Gas fill door

      My gas fill door does not stay closed. Not sure what happened, but it works its way to about a inch open every trip. Need a fix to this. 2020 Silverado 1500.
