New on this forum. Has been very helpful in finding the set up I wanted to run after endless hours on here lol. Bought my 16 Silverado 1500 2 months ago. Finally installed my lift last week. I'm running the 5" rc lift (bracket kit- keeps stock track width). Kit says to remove stock block from rear. . . I kept mine in I like the raked look. (Can't tell by these pictures will post better ones later) running moto metals 20x10s on nitto terra grappler g2s. Very minor trimming on inner lower valence. Other than that rides great! Imo I think it looks great!

New to the forum, got this 2016 SLE All Terrain back in March. Not much in the way of mods going to happen as i'm leasing it...but maybe a few items besides the tonneau cover as i'm currently looking for side steps. I do love the truck though, so most likely going to buy it out after the lease term. Just love the looks of the GMC over any other truck right now.

I've got a set of 4" black steps off my '17', will give you a great deal!

So you stacked the RC block on top of the stock block? Bad idea. Go spend the money on a taller rear block if you like rake before you hurt yourself or someone else driving behind you.

I know this isn't everyones cup of tea on here but heres some new Denalis to replace my old ones.

Drove out of the dealer at 10pm Monday after trading in my 2014 black Denali with this White Frost Tri-Coat 2017.

Loaded up my wheels and brakes that were still in the package that were due to go on the 14 and right to my mechanic it went.

By the time it was 10 hours old it had the factory rotors and brakes replaced with cross drilled and slotted rotors and beefy pads and these gloss black Dub Baller 26's on.

I absolutely love it!

Tint goes on Monday and gonna shackel the rear to level the ride and eliminate the rake.

With the addition of the magnetic suspension that my 14 didn't have I would have to say that running 26's gives me the same if not a slightly better ride then the 14 running stock 20's.

And the transmission is a million times better.

Also traded in the wifes 2015 black Yukon Denali and went with a 2016 XL in White Tri-Coat Frost. Hers came with 20's so I had the 22's that came with mine put on hers and her tint goes on Tuesday.

Both went white cause black was a full-time job to keep clean and I have to say the Tri-Coat is beautiful.

Looks good just needs bigger baller brake package. Stop tech 6 pot BBK would look amazing. I like it

Ah man, this is my exact truck (minus the level and bigger tires). Any issues with those 305's on the stock wheels? How's the ride and MPG's....

Had some rubbing on the sway bar. Had to use 1.5" wheel spacers, front and back, to get the offset look I wanted with the factory wheels and that made the sway bar rubbing non existent. Has very minor rubbing on the inner fender at full lock but not every time. Rides like crap. I'm not a fan of Ranchos. Bilstiens will go on this week and I'll report back. Havent really drove hwy much but looks like around 16-17 mpg. May have to go with a little "calmer" tire to get some of the ride back as well, the farm truck needs rubber so might do some swappin.

 

What tire is everyone running in the "all terrain" class that rides good on highway?

Thanks man! I didn't think I would get any positive feedback as I know most on here go for the lifts and offload look (which is also great looking!). I would love to do the big brake package but unfortunately I live in New Hampshire so these are just part-time wheels, for lack of a better term-lol. I gotta put 20's on with my studded snows for some of the year so I thought this was a happy median as I found the big brake kits didn't work with the stock setup.

I believe that the bbk I spoke of should fit under 20's. It's the same as the one I'm looking at for my truck (20x9+15).

    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
    • Definitely needs to go back to the dealer. 
    • Fix one problem and find another.   Truck didn't have a thermostat in it so I flushed out the system today and refilled with 50/50 Dexcool. This truck is so old (LOL) that it has a sticker under the hood alerting people to the fact that it contains such. There is also an orange supplement with the owner's manual alerting the owner that "Your vehicle is one of a number of late production 1995 General Motors vehicles that use a newly developed engine coolant in the cooling system..."   I was still a little flummoxed by what seemed like a rich condition (exhaust smell, and a puff of carbon with a punchy rev). While watching the coolant temperature and testing the thermostat with my scanner, I happened to notice the IAT (incoming air temperature) to the intake was -40F. I know the temp is below average today, but I can still feel my face, and I was wearing shorts.   D'oh!! I realized I had never plugged the IAT back in, and the airbox was out while I was doing coolant. So I paused, reinstalled the airbox and plugged in the IAT, and viola. Things cleared right up, and I watched the coolant temp climb to a reported 198 degrees on the scanner (195 thermostat) and then it dropped to 194 (open) and then back up to 198 and held. Let it cool, came back, checked the coolant level and was satisifed.   Victory lap?   It needed more than the couple of gallons of gas I put in it from almost bone dry, so I ran it up to the gas station. It had earned it, or, at least I was pretty certain I wouldn't be draining or removing the tank anytime soon.   CEL popped on just as I was cruising a nice steady 40mph, just after coasting down a slight downhill curve.. Of course, it did, because, why let me enjoy not having dash emojis for a little while.   I just happened to have the scanner plugged in. I don't text and drive but I might scan and drive. Don't tell the police.   P0401, EGR flow insufficient.    Well, hello, EGR... ...my old friend! Welcome to the party, now that the engine reaches the factory-programmed operating temperature. I'm sure it was gagging on hostile, rich exhaust and carbon this whole time so I'll take it off and look again.   At least it's easily accessible, and worst case, about $65 to replace.   To keep, or to sell... Hmm. I want it running correctly either way. It's easier to sell when there are no fault codes.   It needs tires (they're aged out and cracking)   It could probably use an oil pan seal, or maybe the timing cover gasket/ junction with the pan needs redone because I've got an issue there that leaves a drop of oil on the floor.   If I do tires I'm sure they'll say the ball joints could use freshening, and, and, and, and.... At some point I'll have to stop. I can't (shouldn't) make it perfect, that's not what this rig is.
