Life is full of regrets.. Buying bfgs isn't one of them!

 

Will they, along with the tires, fit on a stock 1500 with no lift?

 

Also, for all interested, here are the actual links:

Yea depending on the size tire you put on the rims but the rims will be fine!

I guess I was under the impression they were a GM product and not a replica. I know they are essentially the GMC wheel in black so maybe he swapped the center cap's?

How are the KO2's doing for you guys on hwy rainstorms? IE- Hydroplaning concerns.

Mine seem to be doing great in rain no hydroplaning from any of my experience! I love these tires!

They aren't to heavy?

I notice a slight difference in weight but nothing drastic to me.. Everyone is gonna have their own opinion and I respect that but to me I don't mind the extra weight and regret anything

He may very well have the gmc oem ones I was just showing you there are replicas out there for cheaper.. The gloss black was 186 a wheel and matte black 160.. You can always get Chevy bowtie vinyl stickers to put on the center cap

I have a question about tires. I was trying to look back through the posts, but there are so many, ha. I just decided to ask:

 

I have a '14 CrewCab LT. I want to put new 20" wheels but not sure which tires to go with. The 275/55R20 is pretty much stock but I was told to go with 285/55R20, but would require me to put the front lift level kit. Then I saw the 275/65R20. Those would also require the front lift, correct?

 

I'm just not sure which route to go. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks..!

If you run a 275/65/20 you will need to level the front for sure. I've only seen that size on trucks with the Rough country 2.5" Level

You can run 275/60/20, which isn't quite as tall, but it should fit without a level with maybe just a little rubbing on the felt fender liner, which isn't a big deal. You can trim that.

I am running 275/70/18 tires which are essentially the exact same size just for 18" wheels rather than 20s and they didn't rub without a level. I leveled it anyways though because it looks better.

Yeah, the difference in total cost with the level kit between the 275 and 285 is only $800, but still. Just seeing what I could get away with if I didn't do the level lift. I do agree though, it would probably look best to just do it.

Any difference in fuel economy?

 

I really didn't have the SRA on there long enough to tell, to be honest. The SRA's had about 280 highway miles on them is all. So I couldn't give you a definitive answer. My guess is the SRAs did a little better. However when I drove the same highway mileage last weekend to get my Fold-A-Cover installed I got much better mileage with KO2's and a F-A-C on it then my original take delivery miles on the same stretch of road.

I lost at least 1 mpg compared to the identically sized Continentals. If it weren't for that, I'd have them on year round and not just over the winter.

Here is the front and rear tires, sorry if they are at a crappy angle.

 

Forgot to mention, these are on the stock 20x9 all terrain wheels that come on the SLT Plus package or whatever.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      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.
