Can we get a regular cab thread going? Stock, lifted, lowered?

Nice! Put that bad boy in 4 wheel auto, and turn off the traction control. Then mash the go pedal and enjoy. You'll be surprised how well it pulls

Here's my truck after 60 miles of trails, it's a 2wd 2015. I'm putting Fox 2.0 shocks next week and thinking about what tires/rims to get.

Look like fun. What size are those tires? Personally I think they look good on your truck.

They're LT265/70R17, the stock on LS trim, thinking of just going 285/70R17 with a more aggresive off-road tire, even with the fox shocks i don't really want to risk it on rubbing.

Here's a crappy video I took of the exhaust...dont think it does the exhaust justice, but taking good audio is hard to do

 

 

 

 

I like it.....gives it a nice rumble, but nothing that would give you a headache out on the interstate.

You can honestly have a normal conversation without raising your voice at all at 75. You really only hear the exhaust while under acceleration

That is the perfect way to have it in my book !

this is kind of a mid-installation pic. The bar now sits about 2" behind the cab and is wired properly

 

 

 

That is sharp, you know I had thought that new bar would look good on a regular cab !

 

Can't wait to see the finished pictures......Are you putting the LED's up top ?

I'm at a bit of a stand still actually. The GM "Off Road Fog Lamps" mount one LED lamp on each side of the bar, which I'm really not a fan of, BUT they come with a GM wire harness that connects to an included factory light button replacement that has makes really nice factory look and function without some toggle switch by my foot or whathaveyou. For the money, I can just have a full length third party LED that would be way better. For the time being I think I'm going to stick with it as-is, it looks nice and slick without one, but I will cave soon enough I'm sure,there is also an LED behind the grill. It has a level in the front, 275/55/20 BFG all terrains, removed the air dam, added the sport bar, not much to it really.

also, really debating on replacing the chrome sierra badges on the side with all terrain badges. Dont want to be too big of a flame about the truck, but it says Sierra twice on the side, and the red sierra on the bar isn't something I feel can be really improved on, and the red and chrome on the AT badges would kind of work with the the colors and idea of the truck.

I can't say that I blame you, I know those factory LED's are high priced....and it does look good just like it is too.

It's a shame they don't have a option to get different words wrote on the roll bar.....or no words at all.

 

The AT badges are good looking, you're right !

If I was single I'd get the 4x4 Z71 regular cab with the light bar. I like how that looks!

      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.

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