I just found your post on page 85. Truck looks great. Can you post more pics of it? Really curious about the gas mileage difference between my stock tires and the 295/70/18. Not gonna stop me from putting them on or anything, just curious.

Sorry i dont have many pictures but when I get a chance I will. I have been super busy with holiday trips and getting ready for a deployment so....anyways my tires fit fine and I think the only reason why they rub are because of the mud lugs sticking out a bit. I saw a drop in gas mileage because of the wieght and size of the tire but I am also using only e85 and premium fuel for the performance and the way my truck runs better on it. I was seeing 19 on average and I am an agressive driver. my best was 24. now i get about 15 on average if not better on the highway. and 20-21 best. I do my own calculations and it comes out to right around 15.5. if its e85 forget about it its like 10 mpgs if im not driving hard. worth it though. when these ware out I will moste likely go with toyos new dual pupose tire. best of both worlds and lighter than mud tires. They just dont have this size yet. I wont be going any smaller ever again now that I know this is a perfect max tire size for my truck and what i like to do.

 

Couple more picks below.....

I'm looking to get a 4 inch suspension lift for my 2014 silverado. Can I see some pics so I can get an idea what it will look like.

 

Also I'll be getting 20x10 fuel Mavericks with 33 inch trail grapplers

You can fit 20x9 fuel mavs with 33" nittos on a leveling kit. I just saved you $1500.

 

There's pics of trucks with 4" lifts in the suspension lift thread.

How much of a difference between a 4" and a level? Cause my last truck was a level and I want something a little higher

Lots of great looking trucks in here! Question tho, do yall prefer the sliding rear window or solid glass? My 03' had the sliding window, manual back then of course, but I'm looking at two 14' GMC Sierra All Terrain SLTs, one has solid glass other has sliding window.

If you think you want it, get it now. Only a couple hundred now, cannot be added later. Not unless you are willing to spend thousands. This was one of the options I wanted, along with the trailer brake controller, which cannot be added later either. I'm talking about OEM.

I just can't decide now between the GMC SLT or All Terrain, chrome front vs. painted front.. For some reason the painted front seems to make front of truck look smaller vs. the chrome grill.

Mine came with it and I wouldn't buy one without it now, if that tells you anything. So much more airflow in the summer or even those days it's not quite warm enough to open the windows.

I love it !b4296c4fecbeb1f886be0defcffc2420.jpg

I really like your truck man. I really wish I would of spent the extra cash for a 4x4 now. Lift, wheels, and tires look great and compliment the body lines real well.

Is there a reason for changing rims for the winter time?

Missouri winters... lots of road salt. VERY corrosive to chrome plated wheels. They will start to "pit" after 2-3 winters no matter how clean you try to keep them. The winter wheels are clear-coated polished aluminum. It's just like the clear-coat they paint on cars/trucks so no damage to wheels.

 

If you've ever had chrome-plated wheels for many years you'll know what I mean (unless there are no salted roads where you live!).

 

Looks like this.

Just do it to your 2wd truck. They look the same and are same height stock. Not to mention it will save you money in on many costs vs a 4x4.

      Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.
