if you think hitting a nerve entails pointing out an ignorant way of thinking then I guess that's what it is. I don't have a crazy setup so it's not personal towards me, but to the guys who do I can understand not wanting to chance bashing their stuff off-road, at the track or wherever. Some people like the look but don't want the risk. ‍

Me asking if his sister had done mods to her Camaro is "an ignorant way of thinking"?

no, thinking a lifted truck has to go off-road , or a built car has to be raced is.

Please feel free to quote where I said that.

 

Personally I would rather off-road in a crew cab truck if it had a 2.5 or 3" coilover setup rather than a 5-7" lift. You don't gain that much extra clearance and with the size/length/height of the truck you just become a bit more top heavy and expensive. So I've never really looked at the larger lifts and thought "oh man, he/she must/should go off-road a lot". So I can appreciate your argument, but you don't really have anything to convince me of.

i wasn't saying you specifically, I was talking about general thinking. And from a basic 6" lift you don't gain much at all, and most (mine included) are all just blocks and spacers. For highway driving it's great, for "hardcore off-roading" not so much.

Gotcha.

 

I'm honestly more interested in how folks came to desire a lifted/leveled truck with larger tires, especially if they don't take it off-road (note: I'm not saying it's wrong at all).

 

I lived in a city for 7 years, but I came from a rural background and grew up with a 90's Chevy with big BFGs, so even when I lived in a city I still wanted that for when I drove on dirt roads and in the snow 5-10 times a year.

 

But I'm curious what drove others to get that over a sports car or an SUV or a stock truck. It might be anywhere from "it makes me feel like a badass" (to each their own, who can say that's wrong?) to "it's what I've always driven" to "my friend drove a big truck and I liked it" to "I don't want to feel like I'll get run over on the freeway".

STOP FIGHTING LIKE MY PARENTS. lol

 

Some people like the look.

 

Kinda like people workout and they work in a office and play no sports. So being muscular has no benefits to their everyday life.

You're an angry, raging meathead, aren't you?!? I knew it! Take your steroids and get out of here [emoji23]

lol I'm not in shape in the slightest. I only run and swim if my life depends on it. Or if the ice cream truck is making a break for it.

OK..me again..yea I know this is getting frustrating. Since I've read a ton of the g2s suck I've dropped them...and with that have kinda shifted a little of what I want. I've looked thru this tread and google and everywhere and I've got some down so here's the question. I was planning on 20x9+1 but thinking a 20x10 -12. Reason being for later on when I lift. Also I'm just gonna stick to a 285/55/20 making sure I fit. That's the question too. I'm sure on a 20x9+1 that will fit but does anyone know if mounted to a 20x10 -12? Will the 20x10 require metal trimming or such or stick out too far? Carpet trimming is OK metal is not. Should I just stick to a 9 wide even if later on lifted ( maybe a 5")? The other tire is I'm looking at the Toyo oc at2. Anyone running these happy or have complaints on them? Gonna pull the trigger tomorrow and if the oc at2 is a good tire and a 20x10 -12 will fit on a 3 inch level I'll go that route

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By newdude · Posted

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
