Pandemic day 5, we're stranded at home because dad detailed the vehicles and refuses to drive them in the snow. ?

For the conditions, those are two really clean trucks!

 

I admire your dedication!!!

Brand New vs Now. Spent a lot of time (56k miles) enjoying it stock, but those days are over...

Looks great! Any other plans for it?

Thanks! Next is a 3/5 Drop and remove steps. After that I’m planning on a cam swap. It’s already got LT headers and true duals, with a CAI and dyno tune. I’d like to get to 500whp before I start working on my project truck.

Already posted some pics few weeks ago but it's always a pleasure to see and share ours trucks ...And as a 2014-2015 MY owner I need to compensate for all those 2016+ ??

 

Also a pic of the Rough country forged UCA I installed to relieve poor BJ angle (3" front lift from previous owner). Ride is way better (or much less worse ?) In next few days I'll install the 2.25 Readylift instead, to get a better ride with more downtravel, have better CV/Steering angles too & get some rake back. I wanted to go 2" but may be too low for the UCAs. And I can't make my mind for the future : stay lifted or go full stock with the best ride quality….Cause having 3.08 gears, big tires are not an option, I already made that mistake on my previous Tahoe and I didn't like it at all (33" vs 31.5").

What’s size wheels and tires do u have on your truck? I also like the black wheels with silver paint, I will keep this look even when I buy bigger wheels and tires for sure. Bro I just realized this is your truck i took a picture of while back next to mine on my lunch break. Definitely like your truck bro ???????? made mine feel small ? D78311A9-C0D6-4FF1-9B48-F7C20893D881.thumb.jpeg.100360c669955e0b4ac55db5bea5924c.jpegA45AC455-F148-47F3-BAEF-7DD947D98458.thumb.jpeg.45b8f1ea406c54cedfe580b8ba1c61f4.jpeg

That's crazy.  So I assume your N. TX? Those wheels are 22x12 -44 sitting on 35x12.50.

Yeah I’m in Pg area but I work over there in Coppell, Irving, and Lewisville area, I think that picture was couple months ago when I just installed my frontend, badass truck bro exactly what I wanna do to mine when I get the $$$. 22x12 actually look really nice man I was debating on what size I should go. How your gas mileage with the lift and the wheels?

It’s a firm ride but not jarring. Rides a bit firmer than my dads ram 1500 with the carli fox kit but it feels less rough than the stock rancho garbage. definitely rides a little softer than my 2006 Tundra with the TRD suspension did as well (all being compared on i-35 in austin)

    • So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.
    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
