Great looking truck, really like the color.

 

How did the truck end up there, who does the service work on it? 

 

Hi,

 

We have an official dealer here for Chevrolet only (not GM) and only 4 models, Silverado, Colorado, Trax & Trailblazer. local dealer website : https://www.chevrolet.nc/index.php?/

 

Silverado only available in one variant : CrewCab Standard bed (huge for our small roads…!) in 5.3 LTZ with 18" wheels and 3.08 Export model from Mexico. Not a dealer choice, GM doesn't want to allow local dealer to configure other variants (I think due to our ridiculous market).

 

For 2020 they also received the Trail Boss with 8 spd trans and the LTZ with 10 spd trans. They take care of maintenance & warranty but staff isn't really up to the task, lot of owners prefer to do maintenance by private garages. 

 

91 Octane is about 1.35 USD$/liter here (no regular)

1.35$/liter haha. That's 5,1$/gallon which is even more expensive than California ?

Congratulations on your new to you truck, and welcome to the site!

 

The trucks can be a little on the high side when it comes to gas (cost to drive), but the extra size and capabilities are worth it.

 

How are the roads there? If they are as bad as Washington state, you made the right choice with a 4WD truck.

Roads here it looks a bit like Hawaii ones, and all pick-up imported are 4x4 as you couldn't go very far with a 2wd (& empty bed). At least a rear locker would be the minimum. Rams 1500 here don't have a locker and a friend of mine who has one needs to put in 4wd auto mode to manage some situations where I can stay in 2wd with the Eaton locker.

Don't forget to remind the friend with the Ram that every time you see him, it will make him happier with his purchase.

Any trimming with that setup? They look great

Thank you. Zip tied the liners back so it only rubs the sway bar at full lock going forward. In reverse they will sometimes hit the black plastic piece on the cab corner but not enough to bother with trimming it.

I currently have a '17 Silverado 1500 LT CC and the stock tires are starting to lose traction. It has 35k miles on them and figured the Michelin tires would last longer from the dealer but we all know they put the cheapest possible tire on it. Either way, I've been trying to figure out what tires and wheels to get. I do have a 2.5" level kit that I have to install, but was going to wait until I got new tires and wheels.

With the 2.5" level and if I keep the 18x9 wheels setup, what would be best possible solution where it looks rugged but wont require trimming. I don't need LT tires because I don't have anything to tow on a RWD, but two options I'm looking at. Since I do travel a lot with my kids, I prefer to get tires that have the all terrain look but also keeps road noise minimal in highways. 

Nitto G2s and I like the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus, 275-65-18. I like the wider look, actually I prefer the wider look but I'm not sure what would be the max width. 

As far as wheels, I would try to keep it at the 18x9 at a -12mm off set. 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

NEW to the site here. i just bought a 2014 LT Texas Edition im looking to do alot to in the next couple of months. so far ive bought:

 Borla ATAK full catback

JDM Astar leds (low beams, fogs, turning, reverse)

Soler Performance Throttle controller

RC 5in Lift kit

RC Traction bars

Bilstein 5100s all around

 

unfortunately i haven't had time to install anything and to be honest im hoping to do everything when i install the lift kit once i get my wheel setup. heres a pic of the way she sits after a detail and yes im keeping the camper. the grill guard will come off once i convert the front end to a 2016 front end.

Here in the Antelope Valley (Lancaster/Palmdale) area, it's been hanging $3.379/3.479/3.579 (FasTrip in Rosamond, cheapest in 50 miles from me), for over a month.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
