I miss the days when you just bought 33 or 35 12.50 15 in a BFG Mud or AT and gas was 97 cents a gallon.

It was so much easier.

 

Took me a week to pick a tire based on width, weight, winter traction, tire life, looks and 50 other things.

And I still don't know if I will like the looks.

You sound as picky as me. But once you get it all setup, honestly any mud tire I've seen looks badass. There's only a few that haven't really sparked my interest. But any Of the major ones, Cepek, thompson, toyo, nitto, procomp, etc. they all look awesome. Gas mileage, longevity, and warranty were my main concerns. Just gotta get mine tuned and see how much better it gets. Any recommendations on a Tuner for this? My local lift shop said they like Diablo and superchips. I might start another topic on that to see what everyone has used. Maybe someone will have one for sale they don't use anymore.

Im leaning toward Diablo, but I am a fan towards a real dyno tune.

Never bought a canned tune.

 

Issue with a real tune on a truck this new is we cannot take it out if the dealer needs to adjust something.

Here is mine with the muds. To be honest I would of never of bought them if the at2 were our of stock. I love them now. Mpgs suck, around 13 and if o baby it I can get around 15....878ab9f1e69a79d67be345becce7956d.jpgc49b7d5e31c09c2e3705f892228dd61f.jpg92663e264324d9273e46d938a4b7b0a0.jpge70c688ae20ef58e8c6ab88c30064fdd.jpg

Here is a walk around video with up close of the level kit.

That looks nice. I wish GM would come up with a real dark greyou or charcoal color. I really wanted to do something similar to your setup but all black wheels ooffset by dark grey paint. Maybe once my 6 year exterm did warranty is up they'll have my color. I didn't want to do all black. Everyone in my town has all black.

No, I mean a true grey. I've got metallic iridium but it's not the color I really wanted. GM hasn't had a true gray in years. The Camaro is available in a charcoal I like. Maybe I'll just get mine repainted in the future.

I've heard that there may be a charcoal gray ish optional color for 2015. I also wanted something different than Iridium Metallic, and the Stealth Gray Metallic is really blue, as in Chevy's Blue Granite.

 

The Colorado/Canyon both use the Cyber Gray Metallic. Looks OK, but I like it a darker Charcoal Metallic.

When I first heard about the Iridium Metallic and Tungsten I thought they were bringing back the Graystone Metallic or Charcoal Gray... That's the only color I'd ever buy other than black.

 

With black wheels and accents it really looks amazing.

Yeah don't get me wrong, I do like my iridium but it's not exactly the color I truly want. But it's close. And yeah black wheels on grey or charcoal paint is my favorite setup right now. Then all black is my second choice. Ford has a grey I like. I just am not much of a Ford guy. Except the raptor is sick. Edited by boricua2480

Just some crappy cell phone pics in the driveway. Just put a RCX 2.5, 275/70R18 Duratracs, and OEM color matched handles and mirror caps. Oh, and I took the air dam off. I MIGHT chrome the wheels. Maybe.

Hows the ride with the level and new tires? Looking into getting the same setup.

Rides great. Tires are real smooth and quiet, but I find I have to have more pressure than I expect to (48-50lbs). I of course would have rather gone a bit bigger lift and tires, but for what it is, very happy. One word of advice... Make sure to tighten the rear spring bolts fully after its on the ground, otherwise you may have a weird squeak.

 

Oh yeah and you will lose 3-4Mpg. :)

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
