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.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
