Anybody have any suggestions on what I should do with my rubbing issue on inner fender. I don't want to cut anything. I have RC 2.5 level with 305 55 20 and 0 offset. Do u think a 1.5 zone body lift would help?

have you tried to zip tie the fenders back only takes a couple small holes for the ties otherwise the body lift should work but it's a bit of work and does require some trimming/ cutting which u didn't seem to want to do Edited by z71 chevy

I'm not usually a fan of the single cab pickups, but I must compliment yours. That is a good looking truck you got there!

Thank you I'm still second guessing myself for going with the regular cab. I don't need the extra room as of right now but kids are in the next 2 years. Just gives me a reason to upgrade in a few years.

Color Matching? Are they painting over the Chrome? Where are you getting it done? I have a Stealth Grey metallic with the same front end. I want to get the grille and bumper painted to match but I've heard a lot of negative about painting over chrome?

You can paint over the chrome, it's all about the prepwork.

Super happy with the turnout so far. Have other mods in future but that's my wheel setup. I like all styles but What can I say I like little bit of practicality with style! No 22s on stretched 33s for me [emoji1] .

I did a search but don't see many people talking about the Toyo Open Country C/T's much on this site if at all.

 

Anyone use them? I seriously doubt I'll ever need off road tires (I have an atv for that). However, I would like to keep the 20" All terrain rims on year round instead of putting steel wheels on with winter tires for snow.

 

So I am looking at the all-terrain tires that perform well in snow or at least have the snowflake rating. Looking at the K02's and the Toyo C/T's so far. Shying away from the K02's a little due to weight and decrease in mileage. I am looking at keeping the truck at the stock height.

 

Any info is greatly appreciated!

I have the Cooper ATP and they are M+S rated. I swear they used to have the snow flake on them, but they must have pulled that off with thier new tire the A/TW.

Scratch that, just found their price in Canada is about 430$-450$ a tire. That's ridiculous.

 

 

No wonder they aren't popular.

    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them. 
    • I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.     
    • Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
