Has anyone has issues with the dealership not being able to recalibrate speedo.

 

My dealer wouldn't do it because GM said they wouldn't let them access the computer because the wheels I put on aren't GM brand wheels. Seems stupid to me. But it's what the dealer told me. If this is the case, would a shop that has a "tuner" be able to do it? I would hate to have to buy a tuner just for this one reason.

 

Is it even worth it? my stock wheels were 31.6 and new wheels are 31.9

if the tire size difference is that minute don't worry about it. You're probably not even off by a full mile an hour. But in my opinion yes a tuner is very much worth it for more reasons than just calibration! I have a black bear tune and anytime you do a mod to your truck like add an intake or exhaust or get bigger tires they'll email you an updated tune for your set up

2016 Crew Cab LTZ Z71 with 2.5" RC lift with rear block...

 

285/65/18 Nitto Ridge Grappler with 18x9 Gear Big Block 18mm offset.

 

No rubbing whatsoever. Thinking of changing to a 33x12.50 while I still can. Thoughts?

That looks really good. I like those wheels. I think a little more tire would look even better though. I'm surprised those 285/65/18's don't look any bigger than they do.

This is the tire and size I've been waiting to see on a leveled 2014+!!! When you put a tape measure to it, what are the real mounted dimensions for height and width?

 

I think it looks fine. A 33x12.50 would look beefier but the extra weight and width would have drawbacks in ride, power loss and mpg.

 

When you get a chance, post up some pics of different angles. Would like to see how it looks from the rear and front too.

5" rough country bracket kit (keeps stop track width) with a 5.5" block on rear instead of the 4.5" block that comes with kit. So front is raised 5" and rear is raised 4.5" (stock block is 1"). Has a slight rake to it but I love the aggressive stance. Just need some power now! Lol

OK question- I have a 2016 Z71 blackout edition with a 2.5 Rough Country level kit. I ordered XD Rockstar II 20x9 0mm offset. will a 285/60/R20 tire fit without having to do any trimming? if not, will a 33x12.5/R20 be a better fit?

Both will probably run a little bit (easy to adjust). Just zip tie the fender liner back to the fire wall. Easy peazy. I have 275/65-20 without rubbing but have less offset +15... and it's sheer miracle that I don't... a few mm clearance at full lock."

So I wanted to give it a few days for everything to settle after installing the lift and wheels. Front fenders measure right at 40" and the rears are 40.5". The tires are pretty true to spec size wise, about 32.5" tall and 11.5" wide.

    • Yes, and only a couple years before delivery. 🙄
    • So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it. 
    • New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.
