You change wheels as often as I change shoes! Looks good though.

 

But I was looking at the picture above and I remembered when I had MT's on my previous truck the lugs would wear uneven like above. My local tire guy advised me to criss-cross my front wheels to the rear and the rears straight to the front when doing tire rotations. Always kept wear even. Just my .02

Just ordered these 20x9's in matte black along with some 275 Michelin LTX A/T's. Cannot wait, I'm so sick of the factory 18's.

Niiiccceee!!! I was looking into doing a setup like that. I like the those wheels and found them at a fair price. Are you gonna go with 275/55's or 275/60's for the Michelin AT's? Such a good tire.

Just 55 series tires since I have a 2wd and don't want to look like a poser. But the all terrains should get better traction at the boat ramp and other places.

Truck looks nice! It bugs me that your hard cover goes over the Z71 stickers, lol. I'd take those off or take them off and put a new set on a little lower.

Actually it does not cover the sticker. Just shadow. Drives me nuts too. Very much considering taking them off. Especially with the black wheels now.

Looks the same in person until you get right up to it. Snuglid made them go right to the top edge of the sticker. So unless there is light directly from the side or under there is always a shadow.

Cool. Easy to remove them if you decide to, took me all of 5 mins.

Lol oh no! There's nothing wrong with going with a 60 series on a 2wd truck (looks in mirror), its the guys running 37"s while 2wd that you have to worry about!

 

Btw, if you want to check out what a 275/60 Michelin AT2 looks like look here;

That doesn't look too bad. I already bought the tires though-being delivered today. I am going to add lift blocks to the front, but only a 1" front lift since I tow.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
