Some places give you a higher rate when they think you have no idea what it should cost to do certain things in automotive. This has been a trend and done to female almost all the time.

 

So your saying charging a female more isn't ripping someone off? I wasn't aware that someone paying more is justified by their gender of scale of knowledge.

I always shop around when purchasing something, be it tangible items or service work. But then again cheapest isn't always best.

 

You must know learn as much as you can to verify a cost of an item or service work... the internet is your friend.

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.

Toyo Mts and 75 a poor 13-14 mpg. Everything is in a flat line here so there may be a few downshifting but nothing much. I did a little road trip with my oems. And was getting 19/21 at 75mph. Muds are a little sticky lol. I still love the look!!!!!!!0ec20b86cae5d0615586857d8b2585c0.jpg

Ouch i wonder if calibrating the speedometer would help? I have planned 295/55/20 Toyo MTs or Trail Graps :( My cousin with 295/70/17 Toyo MTs is getting around 15-17 mpg highway going 75-80mph on an 09 Sierra with a blackbear tune.

 

Your truck does look phenomenal!

I have a 2014, I think he was talking about the brown caps above the strut that go on the strut bolts on the top of the tower

Thanks! I am running same tires 295/55/20 Toyo mt. Even at best going 65mph I only get 14/15 ish.

The 295/55/20 toyo mt are 72 pounds each and the 295/55/20 toyo at2 are 60 pounds each, I'm planning on going with the at2 hopefully the 48 pounds less of rolling mass will help with the mpg.

If they get the RTs in 295/55/20 that's what i'll likely go with, less i can catch a deal on MTs or some trail graps.

Yeah 33x12.5x20 is too thick for my taste they're supposed to be putting out new sizes

Well at my rate of 3500 miles every two months I'll be ready for a new set in no time. I had my tires rotated today and the guy did a test ride on the RT tires and the guy was impressed. Hoping Toyo gets their act together. I wanted the Toyo at2 and no one had them but one dealer another state away and they wanted more then the MT'S because they knew people needed them.

Is there any downside to getting the 2.5 kit and doing a front only level? Because it looks phenomenal. My plan is a 2.5" RC kit, Toyo Open Country RT 33X12.5X20, replacement bumpers, and some other things but i love the look of your truck. Also what tint did you get?

I am replying to a old post that I just caught one. I only did the 2.5 front from rough country and love it. Lmk about the rts. Cuz they are on my radar for my next set. They don't make them in a 295 just yet and I read 33x12.5x20 rub and tug. I have a tint guy in az that did mt work. Limo in back and 20% up front I believe. I pulled all the logos and painted the front gmc black .

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.

      charm.li (website) has the vehicle-specific diagnostic procedure for that code, you can use to find what the cause of it is.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It’s at the point of amusement. I’m retired I have time. It’s fun seeing people try to convince me I’m using oil. I’m buying oil at the prescribed time. It gets drained and new goes in. Do I add in between, no. My oil doesn’t even get dirty in 5k miles. I don’t even see any drop on the stick. I check in the same place. All is well.
