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.

Wow. I didn't think you could run 37s on 6". Looks good

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

It can be done, just not many shops can do it, I know there's a couple shops in Florida, Hopefully someone chimes in for your area. sweet ride :)

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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
