My Slash 4X4 (R/C truck) has exact set of trenchers.

BTW sweet truck, even if I'm not a fan of lifters, but yours is one of a kind.

The only thing I notice here is green shirt thumb deep in his nose.

 

Also just noticed the 2500 badge on the driver door....did green shirt dig that out of his nose too?

A-ha-ha, LOL :rollin:

Ok technical question guys! I am trying to figure out what my stock offset is on my 2015 Silverado Z71 w/ 18'' x 8.5'' wheels. I have found very conflicting info! 4 different place have told me 4 different things. Discount tire says its 38mm...which I believe to be true. However, I took the wheel off myself to look at it and its stamped saying the offset is 24mm.

 

Just to confirm it, I measured it myself. And came up with 38mm! The backspacing was 5.75''...which is 146.05mm. Now here's the math.... 216mm is the total wheel width. 108mm is half the wheel width. 108mm plus 38mm (which will give you the backspacing measurement) is 146!. Which confirms my measurement. So why does the wheel have 24mm stamped on it?? And which is it?

 

Pleeeease fill me in on how I could be mistaken. I am trying to figure out what kind of offset I want to run. And I can't make a guess until I know what I have to begin with to compare them. Thanks.

Sweet truck Jorge!

What's that grill guard brand?

Thanks, it's the go rhino 3171b. To answer your questions about tow mirrors, is just plug and play. Regular mirrors have 3 mounting bolts, most tow have 4 but the place on the door to drill is there you just have to drill it.

I would go by what is stamped on the wheel.

 

I personally thought it was +27, but that might have been for the 20" wheels.

x2 on the mirrors. Took less than an hour; easy to drill 4th hole.

 

Biggest pain is CAREFULLY removing the hockey-stick wood trim to get to bolts. Look up 2014 silverado door panel removal on youtube - you'll know exactly what you are doing after that.

Total wheel width on a 8.5" rim is 9.5" (241 mm). The 8.5" is the width of the seating surface for the tire bead not the actual total outside width. A bit confusing but backspacing is measured from the outside edge of the backside of the wheel. Offset is +/- from wheel center.

Liking your pic....what kinda exhaust are you getting?

 

Thanks! It's a bone stock no frills truck that will slowly evolve into something a bit nicer...

 

The guy who runs the shop I go to (Plaza Muffler in Orange, CA) allows the customer to try out different mufflers in order to get the sound they are looking for – so I will try at least two. I myself have always been a FlowMaster guy but those are more suited for muscle cars IMO. After watching YouTube videos on the systems put out by Borla, FM, Gibson (There are some good vids by Kinney’s Mufflers in Texas for Silverados), I’ll probably go with a Magnaflow single in, dual out as I really don’t want drone or have it be too loud. I will post pics when I’m done.

 

 

 

 

That opens up a whole new discussion – cold air intakes.

Now I get it....Thats confusing since some site calculators calculate backspacing from the outside edge of the whee, just like you said, and others (wheel-size.com for instance) calculates it considering only the width of the seating surface. Their diagrams show that backspacing distance considers the outside edge, but their calculations don't. Thanks for the help! But that leads me to me next question...

Another question about offset!

 

I am considering buying the XD 822 Monster 2 wheel in 18x9. Does a wheel manufacturer change the depth that the middle portion of the wheel is recessed into the outside of the wheel with the change in offset? Or do they change the offset by simply changing the thickness of the middle portion of the wheel?

 

I ask because I have seen a few pictures where the wheels look nice with a more neutral looking offset. And others where the wheel looks pretty flat and I don't like the look. I am hesitant to buy the wheel because I don't want the wheel to have a +1 offset, but still have the hub portion of the wheel sitting almost flush with the front edge of the wheel. If I buy the +1 offset, I want the center of the wheel to be more recessed into the wheel to give it some depth.

 

Another technical question, but I hope someone understands what I'm asking!

Saw it too. Some said it's a '16 clip front on a '15 truck.

Idk Could be tho cus they had 15 dropped and now they have that 16 like that. But it would be to much money. Look at the grill where it meets the hood my 14 doesn't have that curve so he needed a new hood and whole new front. Cheaper to trade in and use your drop kit on the new one.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      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?
