Thanks! Took some photos and posted below!

 

 

That's blue granite right? Wow that looks even better than I hoped! Please post a ton of more pics!

 

 

Yep, it's Blue Granite - I really had a hard time finding pictures of Blue Granite 14+ trucks with aftermarket wheels. I was really unsure of what wheels to go with, as I didn't think black wheels would look as good.

 

The gunmetal/bronze color of the Fuel Beasts really worked perfectly though I think. It looks even better now that I took off the chrome running boards. I'm thinking I'll be adding some Amp Research Powersteps and a set of painted to match Bushwacker smooth flares.

Wow that looks great man, liked your 22s before too but this is a much better look! I loved these wheels but with all the chrome I didn't think it would mesh. I was wrong, I'll be going with these in the future probably just a 275/60/20 tire though. The debadging looks good too.

 

Do your splash guards still catch all the crap? See the tires poke out a bit. The fender flares would look good, post up if you get them.

Thanks again! I really liked the 22s, and I thought about getting the TG2's to fit those wheels and adding some spacers. In the end though, I just thought the 20s looked better. I, too, thought it would clash with all the chrome - and I didn't really care for its look with the chrome running boards on there, not to mention the boards really take away from the looks of its height.

 

As for the flaps - I think'll they'll do ok catching 90% of the debris until I can get painted flares on. I really want to do the flares but also want to have the Powersteps on too to cover the rocker panels. The flairs will help to keep the sides clean, especially in the winter, and the Powersteps will give some protection to the rockers.

 

I also think you'll be fine without any rubbing on a 275/60 too. Should look really good!

Would a 275/70/18 look better than a 275/60/20? Can't decide which way to go. Will be on Toyo at2. 2.5 level.

Depend if you like a fluffy looking tire or a larger looking wheel.

 

I like more tire.

I have a 2.5" CCM leveling kit with rear blocks and a zone 1.5" body lift. I have minimal rubbing in reverse on my front mud flap.

Can you explain why people experience rub in reverse but not forward? Maybe I'm not thinking hard enough. Lol

My only guess is that if reversing hard enough the truck will squat in the front slightly?

Yeah I guess, doesn't seem like that would happen enough for people to mention it. I think most of us are only reversing when parking and not flying down the street in reverse. :lol:

Haha yeah, that's my thinking too. It beats me

From what I was reading it has less to do with speed and more to do with torque. So I guess even at slow speeds the front end is naturally torqued downward while in reverse. I guess that makes sense.

    • I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.
    • 2015 Sierra 1500 here. Leaks from the sunroof to front driver side and soaks carpet. How do I fix this? Thanks!
    • I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.
    • An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
    • There's a bunch of tea leaves that you've read, but in any case the delayed timing is unusual. Not sure how that relates to the rich at idle vs. 'normal' while driving.   If you're in this deep, might be worth investigating, and re-learning the sensor. What have you got to lose? Plus, it properly fixes the timing cover leak.
