Those look fantastic :noway:

It probably wouldn't surprise you to know that the very first thing people say to me when they see my truck for the first time is "where did you get those wheels" the dealer I bought the truck from says GM should offer a truck exactly like mine with the blacked out chrome and black chrome wheels in a "SS" version right from the factory!

do you mean 305/55/20? or 50/20??

but where would it contact with a more aggressive offset? it wouldnt be the control arms , sway bar or anything on that side of the wheel (at least not the way im picturing it)

 

i just found out the wheels i want come n a +15 so thats what im probably going to go with.

my first choice wheel is the Rockstar 2's but dont wantit because it gotten too popular around here and they also list at $400-475 a pop..next Metal mulisha but its $350-400 a wheel.,..the Eagle 050 i can get for $200 a wheel and i really like it

 

so right now it looks like im going to go with Eagle 050 black +15 offset with 2.5" RC level and 285/60/20 Duratracs unless you confirm 305/55/20 then i may go with that.

 

 

Really curious how you like that nitto....how is it on ice? and dry highway?

I typed it right. I have 305/50/20. I purposely wanted the shorter tire and lower profile. I'm not and expert but I think the smaller/negative offset pushed the tire out and then the radius of the tire pivot is more and then in rubs on the inner fender. I think you can go with lower then +20 but I wouldn't do that with a 305 tire because it will stick out. I'm pretty sure a 305/55 is just fine as well. The 305s for me were cheaper then the 295s and I really wanted 305. I drive aggressively and on highways so I wanted wide with low profile. I've only had the tires for a week and never had an AT tire before. I typically drive high end sports cars and SUVs and still have them. With that in mind, I love the Terra Grapplers. Definitely feel the highway and road ridges more (it will bump you offline) and its stiffer but I think it's the tire pressure. I would definitely get them again and in the same size. It just looks right and performs as intended. Here's a picture.post-136362-0-84154200-1419029586_thumb.jpg. I'd be happy to take and detailed pictures that you want.

would love to see some detailed pics if you get a chance.

 

i dont know what i was thinking, for some reason i thought a 50 profile didnt exist,probably just the site i was looking at for tires.

are you just going to paint the grill you have now or getting the OEM paintable grill?

 

i heard using vinegar to etch the chrome works, and so does scotchbright to remove the chrome then you can paint it.

I know it's an old post but did you mean 285/55R22? A 65 would be a huge tire.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
