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!

Sure! PM me your email or phone number and I'll get in touch with ya after I take em off in a week or two.

 

Edit: I just looked it up, looks like they might have two different sizes for crew and dbl cabs..

"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.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.
