I know, I'm torn...

 

Help me pick some under $300 - my original thought was Hostile Havocs.

:lol: Good luck. Start looking on Craigslist. You can't get anything for $300 unless you mean per wheel.

You would have to be daft :tumbleweed: to think I mean a set for under $300.

 

I'm keeping each under or right at $300.

There are plenty of aftermarket wheels you could do for under $300 a pop. Now tires are a different story, pending on how big you go on wheels

I'm looking at 275/60 or 305/50 both on 20" wheels. Cooper Zeon LTZ or Grabber AT2s maybe Toyo ATII - I can get all three from a local shop under 250 in either flavor. The 275/60 Zeon is $190.

Is your truck a normal white, or is it that cream colored white? From the pics it looks like it is regular white, and if it is, I would think black wheels would look sick on it, but its totally your call. It has to be the right looking black wheel in a 20" to match though. Or stick with chrome, both would look good IMHO

It's white diamond (cream) which is why I wouldn't do anything but chrome.

Yep it's white diamond and black would be a hard fit.

 

Trying to decide what offset I want to go with. I am thinking +18 would be just about right with no rubbing.

How long before you want to put the 4" lift? +18 offset is not enough for the lift. You would want around -12mm offset for the lift. Not sure if you want the expense of buying wheels again

I might be holding off on the lift for a bit. Never know, might trade this one in next year.

 

Just saw a new 14' White Diamond conversion and loved the wheels. Had already looked at them online but in person they look really good.

 

They were 20x9.5 MKW M81 +10 offset. They didn't have the big center cap but had a smaller one. I'm guessing you can change em out.

Nice truck, I'm interested in the wheels your going to be putting on it. I should be in a white diamond truck soon too. I saw a 14 Silverado in White Diamond with black wheels last night and it looked off to me.

Thanks Chavez - it's starting to come together nicely.

 

I am looking at several different wheels right now. The Mayhem Tank, ATX AX192, Raceline Assault... Too many options.

Decided to stick with the stock wheels for now. Need to save for regear and Autocal.

 

On a lighter note, just contacted my tire dealer and I have a set of Grabber AT2's on the way. Should be here and installed tomorrow. Decided to go with 305/50r20 instead of 275/60.

Grabber AT2s finally on.. Will post more pics when I can actually take them.

Note: The 305/50r20 slightly touched the front wheel liners, but I was able to see that they just touched not rubbed. So, I snapped the wheel liners inside the bumper caps - no more touching.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
