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?

I have bfg ko2's in 275/70/18 and they ride great.

Father in law has nitto terra grappler G2's and they ride pretty nice as well.

I have the Hankook ATMs in a P rating and they ride great. Had them on my Colorado and several friends run them on their full size trucks. LT's are getting over 70k miles and P's are getting well over 50k.

Not BFG's if that is your concern. All depends on how aggressive you want to go. Hankook ATM or Cooper AT3 are good choices. Hearing some good things on the Procomp AT though they are pricey. For more on road than off Michelin AT2 are hard to beat. Heard mixed reviews on the Yokohama. Kuhmo AT51 looks promising to check out too.

Not that bad considering other cars that compete as well across the grid are about 350-475k

I picked up a 2017 Sierra All-Terrain on the weekend.

Mods on the truck so far:
- 2 inch leveling kit for the front
- 33 inch Duratrac tires
- 20% tint on the front
- Xpel protective film on front bumper, hood, grill, mirror caps, headlights / fog lights, and A pillars.
No chrome for 2017 !

    • 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.
    • 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.  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.  
    • Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra. 
    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
