BowtieTJ Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 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 Yea I'm getting anywhere from 11.5 in town to 14.5 on the freeway. 305 55 20 w the 6.2L... And I baby it lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Waaazooo Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 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 Yes everything is out of whack. Should be only the percentage of tire change. But I haven't figured out if my low fuel light is float activated or based on the remaining fuel number on the dic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Waaazooo Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Oh, I get about 17.5mpg with 275/65-20. I have a pretty even 50:50 mix of city and highway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
tyrich88 Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) I have a level, camper shell, grill guard and 275/70/18 BFG KO2's and I get about 13 in town, about 16-17 on the highway. Sometimes more. Without the grill guard and camper shell (when I first got the truck) I did a road trip from Lubbock TX to Santa Fe NM and back, I got 19 mpg avg for the trip. So I think the grill guard hurts it a bit. Edited August 4, 2016 by tyrich88
Johnson8537 Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Hi everyone, I am about to buy a 2014 Crew Cab SIlverado LTZ and talked to my local shop who I've done business with for 20 yrs. He told me that on 2014-2016 GM half tons with lifts and leveling kits the traction control often comes on when cornering hard/fast. Has anyone had any of these issues and if so is there a remedy?

No... but I try not to corner hard/fast... don't want to roll my truck.

What would you consider an issue with this? Im leveled and have thrown it into a corner harder than some would and havent had any issues, but if it broke traction enough I would expect it to step in. You can turn it off if you want.

tyrich88 Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Good to see a fellow West Texas on the board! Yeah! Agreed! Like the new truck BTW! You buy it from Brown's? A buddy of mine is the GM up there!

Bully.207 Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Driver's side at full lock very very minor. Nothing worth dealing with 1
NIXONRIDE Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Mine does the exact same thing...I think it runs very slightly on the sway bar and slightly on the liner.
Bully.207 Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Pretty happy with the ride actually think it might be a little better 1
GRH519 Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Has anyone tried this RC 3.5" lift on their Denali??? Thx!!!
