You didn't waste anytime, did you? 285s on stockers on a leveled 2014+ are made for each other. I'm guessing even with the flaps you have good clearance all around the tires.

 

Are they KOs or KO2s?

 

I never even drove the truck stock. I had the dealer install the level and tires and an alignment before I took delivery. No rubbing anywhere even at full lock. Haven't had it off road yet but looks like plenty of clearance. The tires are KO's. I'm old school and like the look of the older BFG's better.

looks good - Westin running broads are they the 4" ? how do you like them ?

 

They are the 3" e-series. Got them on Amazon for $150.00. They look like pretty good quality and are solid but at that price if they rust I can always just replace them. I wish the plastic step part was a little longer as it seems like your foot wants to step on the painted metal part when getting in the truck.

Did the truck come with the grill and bumper painted or did you have it done?

Yep--it was already as you see it. It's the Work Truck trim level.

here we go

 

So far I had the GMC logo on the tailgate removed... thinking about removing the "Sierra" letters and leaving the AT logo in the bottom right. Also going to remove step bars.

 

I am stumped on either doing a level kit with 33 MT's with stock wheels or a 4.5" zone with 35's (this is what i really want to do) but not sure if the lift will fit in my garage. it's 80" or 81" high. think it would be close.

 

I'd be interested in your step bars if you're willing to sell them. I'm about an hour and a half west of Fort Worth but come that way semi-often.

Where did you get the BFG All Terrain T/A KO's (not KO2's)? I like the old design better but can't find them anywhere anymore. Truck looks good!

"Wheel spoke graphics"? Is it the Black I see in the middle of the 5 spokes??? If so, please describe... I was farten around with Windows Paint Program a few pages back trying to spice up my chrome wheels and was going to use vinyl wrap to do the change... Thanks

2014 GMC 1500 Sierra SLE with 5.3 - 30K miles and I'm the second owner.

 

My first GMC ever.

 

I've only had her for about two weeks now. I plan on installing running boards - new wheels, tires and possible a bed cover.

 

Ill be using her as my DD as well a towing my 2004 Z06 or 85 928 to the race track.

 

One thing I will say is that I'm still getting used to the DI / Engine noises. Much louder motor than I'm used too.

Added mudflaps and a Line-x bed liner, I'm wanting some oem running boards next as well as BF Goodrich Radial Mud Terrains 285-70/18. 218 miles so far, did a Mobil1 oil change last night. Had the rear and back side glass limo tinted. Enjoying everything about this truck.

Really like the grille and bumpers color-matched on the '16 z71's -- look great!

I got the tires at our local tire supplier in New York. You'd have to ask a tire dealer to try to locate them now I guess. I prefer the older design myself.

I got the wheel "stripes" from this place. http://www.reflectiveconcepts.com/vehicle-graphics/chevrolet/silverado-2014-2015/z71-wheel-accent-decal-kit-2014-2015-silverado-z71/

 

If you can come up with a design you can have a sign company cut them out for you on their machine.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
