Wheel spacers!

Took advantage of this beautiful weather down here on the coast, and Detailed/waxed (first wax for the truck).

 

added 2" hubcentric wheel spacers to my 22" ck156s to give her some stance. After doing some math, im at like a -20 offset! Had to do some minor trimming, but only to plastic and will never be noticed. So far, im digging it

Finally made the big step of giving my truck some bigger balls yesterday. Added Pro Comp 2.25" level kit, BFG 275/60r20, GMC AT 20" wheels, AMP Research Power Step and matching tint on the front two windows. Can't say thank you enough to everyone on this board for the help.

Looks good. Are you going to add flares?

Probably not. Not a huge fan of flares. Plus mine is just a 2wd. I wanted to make my truck semi-aggressive but Flares on a 2wd might be pushing it lol. But i might change my mind if my paint starts to get sandblasted now

I got you. I didn't know if you added the spacers because you planned to add flares or not. Looks good though.

Flares would look silly since they'll stick out an inch to inch and half past your tires. Looks great how it is.

They make thinner ones that would look better, but the truck looks good as is anyhow.

Oh they do but for whatever reason they just look out of place. The small one inch ones look really good on the 03-07 classics.

Yea, I think it's because of the body lines of the fenders. It just adds too many "layers".

Dealership has my baby for the day. Went in for an inspection and they said i had 2 recalls. I checked the GM website for the recalls but it said i had none.

 

So its in for the transfer case reprogramming for it sticking in 4wd.

 

2nd is something about loose brake lines.

 

And my sister has my colorado..... So im stuck at home. Yayyyy

They tried to get me to go look at the 2016s but i told them i wouldnt take one if they gave it to me. I explicitly expressed my hate of the new redesign lol

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
