Finally got around to getting my wheels and tires installed. 20x10 fuel hostage with a -24mm offset. Tires are Toyo Open Country AT 2 at 305/50r20. Went with these because they are only 50ish pounds a piece compared to around 70 pounds for a 305/55. Don't mind the filthy truck. Getting a lot of rain as of late.

 

What offset, and more pics please. Been looking at x10s and just bought 305/50s about a month ago so this will give me a good idea where i'd be at. thanks.

Haggled a guy on CL for his set of Tahoe wheels and slapped my BF Goodrich's on them. Love the look, and am happy I achieved the look I was going for without having to do aftermarket wheels.

what the difference between the tahoe wheels and that style silverado wheels?

No difference other than the color. I think all Z71 LT models got the same style wheel, but it looks like they only did this style with this color for the Tahoe's.

Truck is currently getting detailed and then Line x, so I cannot add more pictures for a couple days. I have some from the day they were installed. The offset is -24mm.

Looks awesome, thanks. I have the rear block in so I may not rub with -24. Still probably will look at the -12 or -19 offset wheels I've been considering .

Removed the air dam this evening. Plan to get the Mazzulla skid plate and bar once it's available at SDHQ

I called Mazzulla on that skid plate, and in order to use it, you have to cut the tow hooks and horseshoe knuckles off to make it fit. Man, I wish there was another option out there. I really don't want to do something that evasive to my truck...

The tow hooks can be removed and the knuckles serve no purpose after assembly. I say go for it! That skid plate is awesome...

 

Call Gunnell's Tire & Auto (480) 844-1090 and ask for Ryan. He can take care of everything if you choose to go that route.

SWEET! Is your truck black or tungsten?

All these blacked out 2016s make me want one!

Looks great. What size tires are you running? Do you have a level installed?

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
