Looks like you got a lot more height than advertised especially in the rear. Looks really good IMO. did you replace the stock blocks? if so, what size did you go with?

Thanks! I took "after" measurments with the taller tires on as well. I replaced the 1" factory blocks in the rear with 2" blocks. Getting ready to change out the Ranchos for some adjustable Bilstien 5100s all the way around. Gonna try to raise up the front just a tad more too.

New to the site and new to GMC. Just picked up this guy last night. 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT Z71 with a 2" (or 2.5", not 100% sure) with 35x12.5. It was a nice upgrade from my 2011 Ford F150 XLT.

 

Only slight issues is the dealer who did the lift and tires, didn't reprogram for the larger tires. Speedo is off. Anyone know anyone in Baton Rouge, LA that could do it? I don't really want to buy a programmer just to change tire size.

Well the plus side to having the speedometer and odometer off is that your warranty lasts 5-8% longer.

What running boards are those?

Not sure. They came on the truck when I bought it back in 2014. I've since sold that truck.

There's some rubbing when fully turned. I was looking a little closer at the truck over the weekend and I think it's got to have a 2.5" in the front and maybe a 1-1.5" in the back. The 35"s are huge on the truck.

    • 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?
