Im a little upset the size i need 275/60r20 isnt offered with a white letter option. Half the reason I love BFG's are the white letters. I dont wanna go down a size to the 275/55r20 (they do come with white letters), bc a beefier tire ultimately solidifies the look of any truck. BFG! Get it together and offer white letters on ALL your tires!

I can't find any mud in the parking lot of my local mall.

I think either way can look nice, but to me the white letters are dated and out of style; unless you're building a trophy truck or a classic one.

I mean I see white letters and I just think "wow, look at that old man truck" but of course I mostly see white letters on tires OTHER than BFG. Especially when the white letters are on street tires on a truck...gross.

I agree with you on this, most white letters just look bad, but then again most are not solid block lettering and outlined. BUT for some reason BFG just looks "right" with the white lettering. Maybe its because ive run my BFGs like this for over 10 years so Im used to it. I dunno. But I did the BFG white out.

I was sold on getting these babies black out, until seeing JerryCanada's picture. Now I have some thinking to do hahaha, they look good and have thrown off all my thinking.

I have run BFG All Terrains for almost 10 years and it's always been black out. With the white out is it still easy to shine the tires? I usually shine it with a sponge after a wash and drying time.

Will try to remember to take a picture of the truck cleaned once I get back home next week. Give you a better idea on how they look.

 

Edit: To answer your question. when they do get dirty I just use a cheap brush they sell at the dollar store to clean the house dip it in the bucket and brush it clean. Then tire dressing.

blackwall out.... clean!

x2. I spend a lot of time on gravel and my previous white letter tires ended up with red clay stained letters. Black wall all the way!

you can get tire markers and colour in the letters.

it wears off but you just have to re-apply. ive never used the stuff, but ive seen it used a lot on motorcycles.

I was thinking about getting these tires but with a smaller rim size (like 16 inch) to give that "off road rugged" look. Currently have a 2 inch lift on my '10 extended cab.

I like those tires. That is what should have come on this truck. Too bad it will be long time before I need new ones.

      Yes. You need to check out that thing, and the hub further.

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By anthony2558 · Posted

      Would this be normal or a worn CV Shaft? 51K miles 3.5" lift? Boots are intact and no visible leaks showing. Attached is a the video I took. Thanks     https://youtu.be/ZnW7PPRmjJY?feature=shared

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.
