Thanks Texas.

 

Luster- they're made by Black Rhino.

Yeah, I almost bought those for my '13. Great looking wheel.

Nice! I just removed my 26" wheels and went back to the factory 20's. Thinking about plasti dipping them black also. Any advice or tips?

Why did you get rid of the 26"s? They look sick!

I still have them for now. The roads are too rough in my area for such little tires so I took them off. 2 flat tires in 3 weeks. I'm thinking about getting a 2.5" level with 33's. Bagged really has me liking this setup after seeing his. That and a good tune will be my next project.

Anyone hear anything about Toyo's new Open Country RT tires? They are supposed to be a median between the AT2's and MT's. Think I found the tire I want for when I lift my truck

Those do look appealing. I will have to see how much these cost. They are only going to have 8 sizes available at launch and the tire still weighs 70lbs. Another tire I am looking at is the Hancook Dynapro ATM that is only 42lbs and still has a 50k warranty and aggresive thread

Yep, pretty much going to get these when they become available but since they don't come in 295/60/20 right away, I'm going to go ahead and get the 35's. Also, if you like these, you may want to look into the new Nitto Exo-Grappler. Same concept.

I'm about to order my rims they are a fuel maverick they offer a +1 or a +20 just wondering if the +1 would be ok to run?

 

What size tire will you be running on them?

Posted (edited)

Either 275/65/20 or 275/60/20 but I'm eventually wanting to run the icon stage 2 suspension and it requires a 5" back space.

If they are 9" wheels they should be good.

Really surprised the lack of 285's on here. Coming from the 2500 crowd it seems like everybody was running those. Was hoping to see a couple set ups with 285 with 20's and a tad bit of negative offset. I want a little stance but nothing huge.

I'd think you'd be fine with either offset on the 275/60/20. Rubbing more likely with the other size.

Negative offset is going to be hard to run without a 4 to 6 inch lift and most that have that size of lift want something much wider than 285.

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and maybe memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.        
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
