A buddy just picked up an old-man special - 2003 Silverado with 85K on it.

 

It is interesting how much bigger these seem next to an older one. I did like my 2001, but this 2015 is oranges to it.

I got 305/55R20 cause the 285's were backordered. They do rub a little bit on the upper control arm at full lock, but I just avoid cranking the wheel that far and nobody seems to notice.

They look bigger... If you had a +20 offset wheel, think they would hit/rub?

My contribution ...

Very clean. I see yoy removed side moldings. I have the same truck and am thinking of leaving those on but removing the All Terrain badges....now to look at your picture further.

Do those duratracs make much noise on the highway? Sound like an all terrain tire or mud terrain?

Looks awesome man! What are the tire/lift specs?

Readylift SST 4" with uniball UCA's. Rancho XL9000's on all 4 corners. 20x9 w/ 27mm offset wheels with 35x12.50R20 Toyo M/T's.

I don't think they would rub with that offset

They do make some noise, but coming from Mickey Thompson MTZ and BFG mud terrain tires before these, these are very quiet. Even with almost 30,000 KM's on them

Thanks.

I've been toying with the idea of removing the AT badges. The mirror caps and door handles will be changed to Iridium and the belt moldings will be changed to black.

Painting the belt moldings?? Or is there a direct replacement?

    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

    • I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem? 
    • I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
