So I got a set of Hankook AT-M 305/55/R20s today with about 70 percent tread on em for 200 bucks. My question is with a 2 inch rc leveling kit will they fit and not rub? He said that he will give me my money back if they don't fit but I hate to do that really. They measure at 33.2 overall diameter but i dont know if they will hit being a wider tire? Anybody got anything?

Is your truck 4x4? They seem to sit higher then non 4x4 plus the 2" level you might clear them. My truck is not 4x4 and I got a 3" level and with my 305-55-20 I had a little rub on the back but then again my rims are 20x10 - 24 offset.

It is 4x4. Mine are stock 20 rims. Was it a bad rub or manageable?

It wasn't to bad, but I did have to make a cut on the liner and zip tie it back. Other people here are running 305-55-20 with no rubbing.

Ok, finally got some better pics of the truck. Clayed, polished, and sealed. I cant believe how much crap came off with the clay bar on a new truck. Plasti dipped front and rear bumpers, grille, and emblems. Removed the chrome trim, lower the rear 3", and installed my Thule rack for my kayaks. Im really liking this truck. No other plans for it other than maybe an intake.

Very nice work, looks great.

 

I've used the plasti dip on badges and other small areas with much success, like lots of other people. I Was looking to black an alum Camlocker toolbox. I remember reading several people saying they thought it wouldn't work. I see lots of bumpers, smooth metal that gets hit frequently by debris. The dip obviously holds up well. I am not rough on the toolbox. Thoughts? Would it work or not?

The more and more I've looked into plasit dip on forums, the more I found a few things. Most people who dip things peel it every 6-8 months. I've seen people leave it for over a year but some say it becomes hard to peel after too long. Anyhow, as long as you clean the metal good, maybe clay bar it or at least use some alcohol and wipe it down really well, you should be fine. A surface free of wax, dirt, debris is a must. Apply 2 light coats and 3-5 medium to heavy coats and you will be fine. It does get chips from rocks after a while but for the most part it holds up really well. The toolbox should be ok as long as you dont throw stuff on top of it and slide it around. Dip doesn't hold up to that kind of abuse. I say go for it, as long as the metal is clean it should adhere fine.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
