You're not really going to lose any HP, it'll be the same amount going to the rear. The 285/55's will be taller then the 275/55's and take a little more rpm to turn them. You might lose 1-3mpg depending on the truck…

I need some help. I have a '14 SLT 5.3 with 3.42 gears and 2.5 level. My question is, I have stock 275/55/20 tires that weigh 39 lbs. I want to put on 285/55/20 Terra grapplers that weigh 58 lbs. That is 19 lbs more per corner but I'm leaving the diameter the same. How much rear wheel HP will I lose to the ground and how much will the weight effect MPG as well.

I have the same engine/gears but with a 6.5" lift, I went with 35" tires on 18" wheels and I couldn't really notice the power loss driving around town. It's on the highway when you'll go to pass someone that the loss will really be noticeable. As for your MPG loss I can't say because I have a 6.5" lift not the 2.5" level, I did however drop down to 17-19 mpg on the highway from 22-24.

Just regear and tune you'll be fine lol. My buddies 09 just got regear'd to 4:11. Though the tune is what's doing it. He Managed 18mpg from Tallahassee FL to MS with 295/70/17 toyo mts. I managed 16mpg when I went to Tallahassee with stock everything.

Looks great! Ive heard Aturos were garbage. My local truck accessories shop says they too have issues with balancing. The owner said they were almost square when they come in lol

thanks man. yeah they were terrible.I tried to have them road force balanced and the machine said i need 96 lbs on one tire and 76 lbs, 43lbs, 39lbs on the other ones.

I've got a 2014 Silverado Z71 LTZ. Added the Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit, 20x9" Rockstar II wheels with a -12 offset, and 295/55 Toyo Open Counry M/T tires. Rubs a little at full lock right now, especially in reverse. I have aftermarket bumpers coming that should fix most of it, and will need to do a little trimming for the rubbing while in reverse. I'll try to take pics of the rubbing/trimming when I get some time. For now, here's a few pics of it in the shop (all I got for now) as well as some pics to show how much it sticks out with my setup.

 

Enjoy!

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • 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?
