Those statements are just plain dumb, I’ve seen plenty of 35/22 combos off-roading. And his suspension setup is better than most “country trucks” or any other truck so I’m sure it would work just fine.

The “look don’t work in the country”? Is that a Boss Hogg quote? I’m sure you’re not actually implying that it physically won’t work in the country hahaha Now I know the look of my truck is not everyone’s taste but that’s a lot of the reason I did it so if you mean you personally don’t like the color combo that’s totally understandable. But as far how it “works” this is a works pretty much anywhere truck, it goes on and off road on a regular basis for work as it’s a daily driver. And like me it just cleans up well after the moneys been made.

It’s all good my friend I hear comments like this often. I’ve found that it usually comes down to 3 things because obviously the truck itself does pretty much all I would ever need it to. Either the look doesn’t coincide with personal tastes, they can’t build it or can’t afford it and in all case try and blame it on some lack of functionality.  Am I going to drive this truck up the Rubicon or take it out to some huge mud pit and submerge it up to the windows, no, because I’m not an idiot and it’s a work truck not a rock crawler or a mud pit pos. I do appreciate your kind words though my friend. Have a great one!

I can build it, I can pay cash for it, but I would not drive it.

don't take it personally. if you don't like mine and tell me

its no big deal.

So then it’s the first, it doesn’t work with your tastes in style. Which is fine because I didn’t build it for you so everyone has a right to there opinion on what looks good. Just don’t say “the look doesn’t work in the country”, just say “I like less  aesthetically pleasing vehicles” I totally understand that I got a couple guys that work for me that love to run into shit with their trucks for new scrapes and dents, strap light bars everywhere and go throw mud at each other in empty fields bro’n out. They don’t ride so hot or see much attention from the opposite sex but to each their own! Cheers 

 

Side note: since you can obviously build a substantial truck and have no problems affording a vast array of modifications yet would never so much as be seen driving my truck please share a photo of you full build driver so I can see where I went wrong.

Equate to this.....?

How would you not liking it have anything to do with not working in the country, whatever that means??

Gee. Check out stryker suspension s. Local guy builds some amazing rides. Brand new trucks cuts all suspension out and adds some amazing new set ups. Stop and talk to him he shows me around I'm floored by the custom work. I ask who buys these and most are out of town guys etc. I've seen several go out on trailer s. Back to point you just don't see that type set up in my area...the super wide low profile look just not that popular.

Is it growing some what maybe.

Most off road guys don't run the low profile set up. Not talking new trucks at royal blue but beat up trucks made for off road work don't have that look....

You’re comparing apples to oranges, beat up trucks (your words) to brand new 50k+ trucks. again what does you not seeing or liking that setup have to do with it not working?

Now this I’ve heard and smile at before. The “low profile look” now I realize that we have now gone more Opinion based then fact-based but a fact is is that my truck came stock with 20s & 275/55r20 on it and I put 22s & what’s basically a 35 which has a 6.5 inch side wall vs 6 stock and is 3 inchs larger than stock overall so how is that low profile?  Low profile means a decrease in size not an increase. And as far as being wider, well as far as I know most “off-road” people don’t want pizza cutters in mud. But like I said just post a picture of your rig so I know what works in the country.

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
