they look great on your truck. do they actually measure a true 33 though??

Thanks I'll have to measure, is that tread to tread top to bottom? I'd doubt it, sitting it flattens a lil. I need to check my speedo too against gps.

I have ridge grapplers in 285/70/17. Some days they look awesome to me, some they look small. But some days my truck looks massive, sometimes I think it's no bigger than a Tacoma. Depends where it's parked.

 

I had originally ordered the 295/70/17 but it was way too close to the cab mount on my 0 offset wheel. The 285s rubbed my fender liners pre ziptie, but they are fine now and I've thrashed it off-road with no problems. And my speedometer is dead on

Your truck looks great, like the steps too might have sold me on doing some. Thinking nfab or Lund Latitude though.

I had a 2inch front level and now bilstein 1.85 and have 285/70/17. Don't think the look too small. My pics are a few pages back post 4018, not apples to apples but should be close comparison.

Looking for some help, thinking about going down to 17s for a better ride offroad and on, was thinking about 295/70/17s or 285/75/17s or 285/70/70s from 34/12s. do the guys with 285/70/17s think they looks small on a 2.5 leveled truck? they barely measure 33in according to spec but anyone have real world measurements. my trail grapplers were smaller than than what they spec by about half an inch. would like to get a lighter tire like toyo RT or Ridge grappler Terra grappler Falken AT

Get the 315/70r17 duratracs I was going to buy! Lol. It's all about perspective. My 33x12.50s look small to me until I pull up next to a stock truck with 255s. I'm still considering getting 35s though...

Loving your set up as well, looks great! have you actually measured what the ridge grapplers are? i have found nittos to run smaller

truck looks good with those on i think if you had a little bit of offsett with wheels they would look bigger. IM trying to walk the fine line between 35s and 33s, (if thats possible). Looking to get a lighter tire than these trail grapplers on a 17 wheel. 295/70/18 TG wheigh 72 Lbs plus a 40 lbs wheel. kind of heavy for 342 gears when towing something heavy. Looks to me like a 285/75/17 (33.8/11/5) will be perfect, Thinking actual measurments will be a 33 by 11 and thats perfect for me. Most of those tires range 60-65 lbs with a 25 lbs wheel

I try to avoid measuring, sometimes it's just better to believe it's bigger than it really is

I'm going to get 17x8.5 -6 wheels eventually. Yeah mine are around 62 lbs. I really wish they made a 34x12.50 which would measure closer to a true 33x12, that's the world I want to live in.

How do you like your ridge grapplers. I'm getting new rims and tires leveled at 3 inches. Thinking of doing a fuel coupler 20x9 +1 with 295/55/20 ridge grapplers that measure to 32.8 by 12.2. That's what the description says then I see ppl say that tire actually is 11.5 wide. I'm OK w that but really curious on how you like the ridges drive, handle and such. These will be going on a truck w 3.42 gears.

I like them. I've never owned or even driven a true mud tire so all I have to compare them with are KO2s. Dry wet and off-road traction are great, haven't had them in the snow yet. I might try toyo RTs next time just to have a comparison, but I'd buy the grapplers again for sure

I also went from 22s with duelers to 17 with grapplers so I can't tell you about differences on my own truck. Dry wet and off-road traction are great, haven't had them in the snow yet. I might try toyo RTs next time just to have a comparison, but I'd buy the grapplers again for sure

      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.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
