Looks like it would hit if you go over a speed bump too fast. Gotta say, looks great though!

Thanks, I had it park on a huge pile of snow and got yalled at by my boss but well worth it. I had the rear driver back tire like 3-4 feet about the front driver tire and there was no rubbing or hitting. Tires fit pretty well into the wells but when I put about 2000 pounds in the bed it squats a little to much.

Funny how everyone downs the 3.08s....yes they are a turd for anything but fuel economy but you will not blow anything up. My trans doesnt even get to 190 and thats with 33s...yes 37s are biger but the worse thing is that you may not see 6th gear at all.

 

You will not blow up your transmission.

I run 37s with 6 inch BDS lift on my 14 Silverado not sure what gears I have but my truck still can move with a purpose doesn't seem that much slower but now I'm curious to see what I have.5f33287b1c3dfb2de339582f43e197b7.jpg

I was just trying to figure out if I'd run a 37 with me 7.5" lift.... I now plan to buy 37s when my 35s are toast lol. Thanks.

Hey y'all. I know this is an older post. I'm new to this forum, but so frustrated. I've got 37s and trying to regear my 2014 Siverado to 4.88s and the shops are telling me it's a dealers only part. It's a newer rear end 11 bolts and no one is making them yet. Is this true? I fear for my tranny because I do a lot of driving. My mpg is 10mpg less which I can deal with and my rpm is barely 1500 @65mph. Am I screwed or is there help out there. Thanks y'all. Taking all help. My cousin has a CNC machine maybe cheaper to buy the design? IDK....just feeling helpless and defeated.post-161722-0-21860200-1471661834_thumb.jpeg

I'm not to sure about your rear end. I would contact Yukon gear directly as that's who I dealt with. They will help you locate a shop near by and tell you everything you need. I am also on 37's and am awaiting to get my 4.56 gears put in. Run the truck in manual mode and keep it in 5th. That's what I do on the highway it really helps just until the gears are in. I have to go 130 km/h or more to be comfortable running it in 6th lol. I use the manual mode all the time and use it for downshifting and shifting through gears as well to allow the truck to shift at a higher rpm. Im also paranoid about the tranny so im doing everything I can to help it. Hope this helps.

I have the same truck 2015 chevy Silverado with 37's there are shops in riverside that regear to 4.88's that's what I have and the mcgaughy's 7-9" lift. East coast gear or Randy's ring and pinion will have the correct parts. I am having a mobile mechanic in Riverside ca install my gears right now.

Great looking truck! Love a big sidewall. What tire are you running and did you have to trim?

Thanks. I contacted Randy's. I back ordered 4.88s but they won't be out till end of November. East coast didn't have. Where in riverside? Need to have them installed Since 4 wheel parts will not. If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay? Gears/ installation. Also have you heard of Jurls exhaust out there off of Van Buren? Thanks for the help!

I ended up going through western differential. $230 for front gears $280 for rear and $570 for a posi, because my truck didn't have one. Also I had to change the rear carrier anyways. I paid $500 front and $500 rear for installation from a mobile mechanic. Frank is his name (951) 496-5282 that is his cell.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.

      Not what I said but I can work with it anyway. Complete combustion produces CO2 and H20. When it's cold enough you can 'see' it as water vapor but it is always there and more so the better the tune up. It's physics, not an argument. In a cold motor when the cylinder jacket is below the condensation temperature the water goes to the pan and not the PCV system. Heating the oil moves it from liquid to vapor where it is removed by the PCV system. When and how much depends on temperatures. Of the air, the water and so on. It has little to with the humidity. Water is a combustion product.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!
