2015 GMC Sierra All Terrain, Stone Blue Metallic.

285/65/18 BFG KO2's

18" Fuel Assault's, +18 offset

2" Ready Lift Level.

 

Love the look of this truck, but I'm pretty angry at myself for not getting 305's and a more negative wheel offset to give it a more aggressive look. Got 1000km on her in since I picked it up yesterday and so far there is a minor vibration at a speed of about 120km/hr. Fuel mileage so far has not been very good for me. (15 mpg all highway). I know the BFG's don't help, but I was still expecting much better.

Another issue I'm having is that the speakers periodically crack at anything above half volume. Not acceptable for the so called "Bose Premium sound."

Also a little irritated with the throttle lag, and the touchscreen lag. I had a short race against an ecoboost on my way home and got absolutely smoked.

 

Besides for that, great truck so far. I absolutely love this colour, glad I held out for it!

 

What speed are you going on the highway? I just got the same size tires in the BFG KO and my mileage hardly dropped at all.

Not very fast, and I put 0 miles on the stock tires so I don't have a number to compare that with. Still think 15mpg highway is not very good at all.

It was a little windy though, I really hope the mileage improves.

Waiting to add Anzo headlights and the front will be finished.

That looks great! Can we have a side shot of that monster?

Guess I did not take a side profile with the updated bumper parts but at least you will see the update with the Amp Research steps. Appreciate the compliment!

tstehle, I'm not usually a fan of fender-flares on trucks but the trac-width coupled with the lift and off set of your tires make for a very good looking rig.

Agree with you, I am set out pretty wide so they are a must here in PA. Thanks so much for the compliment.

Good to see you post pictures of those exact tires/specs. I plan to buy those exact tires to put on some Pro Comp Wheels 36 18" rims. Just waiting on my Duratracs to wear out...

 

You're running 33" wheel/tires...

    • 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?
